This System Configuration implements the layered Model+View+Control testing architecture for the assembly example.

The MODEL device encapsulates the combined Model and View architectural functions, identically as in the ASM_MVL configuration.

The CONTROL device provides the HMI and Controller functionality as follows:

• The TRANSPORT_SENSORS and PRESS_SENSORS Resources provide a display of sensor values identical to that in the corresponding Resources of the HMI Device of the ASM_MVL configuration.
• The logic for sequencing and interlocking of operations among the modeled physical elements is provided by an instance of the function block type ASM_CTL, contained in the CONTROL.ASSY_CTL Resource.
• The TRANSPORT_ACTUATORS and PRESS_ACTUATORS Resources provide a display of actuator output values from the controller.
• Finally, the PRESS_ACTUATORS Resource provides a RUN/STOP switch for starting and stopping the assembly sequence.

This System configuration uses the Local Multicast design pattern for the communication of data and events among Resources. The FBDK uses the Tagged Data design pattern to ensure consistency of the communicated events and data, as in the ASM_MVL system configuration.
