Anatomy of a Smart Machine

Anatomy of a Smart Machine

Discover the modular Anatomy of a Smart Machine
(Industrial-Process Measurement and Control System or
IPMCS). We dissect the physical architecture,
starting with interconnected devices and their
internal, independent resources (which contain a
scheduling function). The software core is the
application model, built as a function
block network. Learn how the central software unit, the
function block (FB), uses event-driven
execution and the Execution Control Chart
(ECC) to achieve robust and precise control.
