Module Setting Overview

In the WMX3 architecture, the component paired with the platform is the module.

Module provides much of the functionality for motion functions.

For modules, there is essentially no need for static external files.

This is because the style of motion programming is such that the motion parameter settings are done dynamically in programming.

Normally, when the engine is shut down, all parameter settings are discarded and default parameter settings are loaded the next time the engine is started.

But if it is necessary to save the operating parameters to an external file, the axis parameters set in programming can be output to an xml file.

• Exporting and importing to and from xml files is supported by the API. This allows easy restoration of operating parameters. For details, please refer to Tutorial 3-9: Saving and loading parameters from file.

• Export and import to/from xml files are also supported by motion utilities. Those utilities have a general UI for users to manipulate and can also try many API executions. Please refer to the Module Setting by Utility for more information.
