The ASM_MVL system configuration implements the layered Model+View testing architecture for the assembly example as follows:

• The HMI Device provides instances of the IN_BOOL type for user input of actuator values and display of sensor values.
• The MODEL.ASSEMBLY Resource is configured identically to the VIEW.ASSEMBLY Resource of the ASM_VIEWL configuration to provide the View elements for the Model.
• The remaining Resources of the MODEL Device are configured as follows to simulate the behavior of the physical elements of this example:
  • The PRESS_MDL Resource provides an instance of the XBAR_MDLL type to model the press.
  • The TRANSPORT_MDL Resource provides an instance of the DSCYL_MDLL type to model the dual-stroke cylinder, as well as an instance of the LOADL type to model the assembly operation.
  • The CLOCK Resource provides an instance of the E_CYCLE type to provide a simulation clock for the model elements.

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 shown in the table below.
