Naming of FBs mapped from Applications?

[Jim Christensen]

In updating the way the FBDK treats Applications and Mappings, I came
across the following interesting text in IEC 61499-1, Ed 1, Subclause
7.3.3:

Resource configuration is subject to the following rules:
• The name of a function block instance allocated to a resource from
an application shall
consist of the application name concatenated to the function block
instance name within
the application with a period ("."), for example APP1.FB2. If
subapplications are
instantiated in the application, the subapplication instance name (or
names, if more than
one subapplication is nested) shall be inserted in the concatenation
before the respective
function block instance name.

Holy cow! I completely forgot that was in there! It's a really good
idea (really simplifies navigation between Applications and Resources)
but got lost in the implementation. Are there ANY tools that do it
this way? Everybody should, don't you think?

Best regards,
Jim Christensen
