Chapter 2
Consider the control supplied for the KBD101 Brushless DC Servo driver unit.
This Control provides a complete user graphical instrument panel to allow the motor
unit to be manually operated, as well as a complete set of software functions (often
called methods) to allow all parameters to be set and motor operations to be
automated by a client application. The instrument panel reflects the current operating
state of the driver unit to which it is associated (e.g. such as motor position). Updates
to the panel take place automatically when a user (client) application is making
software calls into the same Control. For example, if a client application instructs the
associated DC motor Control to move a motor, the progress of that move is reflected
automatically by changing position readouts on the graphical interface, without the
need for further programming intervention.
