5.1 Modularising with system modules and axes
In the Project tree, you can structure certain elements of a machine by means of a System module
or an Axis.
• A system module includes the implementation of a specific function (e.g. winding, positioning,
pressing) within the entire system.
5.1.1 Inserting system modules
You can insert system modules to represent a clearly arranged system structure with multiple
levels:

How to insert a system module:
1. In the Project view, either select ...
• ... the project element , or
• ... the desired system module another system module is to be inserted into.
2. Click the icon.
Network
Have all components of the real machine structure been inserted into the project
structure?
• Now the system structure can be extended by the networks available in the
system by using the network representation.

Form of modularisation Description
System module A system module ...
• ... can include devices, communication networks, applications and
documentation.
• ... can include other system modules and one or more axes.
Axis An axis ...
• ... represents a defined variant of a system module and generally includes
at least one controller and one motor.
• ... can include other devices such as gearboxes in addition.
