4 Drives and Motion Accelerator Toolkit Quick Start Summary
Modularity Example - Machine/Application/Device Module Relationship
The machine module monitors the current state of the overall machine and based on the state and/or requests
from the HMI terminal, broadcasts out commands to both the application and device modules. The individual
modules perform a predefined task based on the command. Some of the commands may be ignored depending
on the module type.
