Abstract
Reprogramming the controller of an industrial automation system usually requires to halt the system. In this paper, a novel method that allows reprogramming a controller at runtime is presented. The control behavior is modeled using parallel finite state machines, Stateflow being used as an example of modeling tool. Automatic translation to Erlang code is implemented and Dynamic Software Update is enabled using Erlang Runtime System. The presented method is applied and evaluated on a case study as a proof of concept.
