mapp Services V5.16
This "Getting started" tutorial explains how to build a complete software architecture using mapp PackML synchronized mode.
For this purpose, the machine is divided into individual modules and structured hierarchically. Each of the modules is represented by the PackML state diagram. Thus the modules are linked to each other and exchange commands and information.
To create the hierarchy, a main module is defined. It is the highest module in the hierarchy. The machine unit is controlled via the main module. Submodules are at a lower level than the main module. This breaks the machine down into small parts and creates a hierarchy with multiple levels, which all follow the same basic principle. This example uses a printing press consisting of 3 modules: the main module, feeder module and printer module.
