Abstract (EN): The 4th Industrial Revolution exploits the benefits of exponential technologies to enhance industrial processes by merging Information Technology (IT) with Operations Technology (OT). This is the case with the IEC 61499 standard and blockchain, which can be used to design and deploy the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). On one hand, the IEC 61499 standard enables the development of distributed automation systems. On the other hand, blockchain technology enables secured communication between Edge devices, while overcoming challenges related to managing decentralized IIoT architectures. However, a traditional blockchain network requires too much storage for data validation and requires extensive computational power to perform consensus protocols. This limits its operation on IIoT devices, usually computationally restricted. A lightweight blockchain-based architecture was proposed to address the mentioned challenges of managing an IIoT system, in compliance with the IEC 61499 standard. Results show that this architecture eliminates the need for processing a significant volume of traffic in a centralized server, resulting in reduced maintenance costs and providing a secure platform suitable for deployment in industrial settings. The utilization of the IEC 61499 standard further enables the handling of heterogeneity and real-time characteristics inherent in IIoT systems.
