Modes: Machine operating modes
In the ApplicationTemplate PackML, the following machine operating modes are firmly defined:
Producing, Maintenance and Manual. Further modes can be added individually.
[4-5]
The ApplicationTemplate PackML includes three firmly defined operating modes, more can be freely defined.
Each operating mode includes a separate state machine.
• If required, more operating modes can be defined.
• The modes and the respective state machine are integrated in the ModApp 1 module
application.
• The behaviour of the states is defined in the
A12_PackML_Configuration folder in
PackMLConfig. There, it is defined, for instance, which state is when active and in which
states a changeover of the modes is permissible.
Predefined operating modes in ModApp1
• When another operating mode is created, the desired features of the states have to be defined
in the PackMLConfig area.

Communication between the machine modules
The machine modules (MM_xxx) communicate with each other via the higher-level MM_Machine
machine control module by means of the BaseChannel communication channel and the
AppChannelData structure.
• The communication channels provide for a bidirectional data exchange.
• The BaseChannel is defined as a structure in the ApplicationTemplate PackML.
