13 Application example: Flying saw
This chapter describes how to convert the example of a machine structure, the "Flying saw", into the
structures of the ApplicationTemplate.
13.1 Preparation: Modularising the automation system into subfunctions
The application example describes how to convert the "Flying saw" machine application into a
modularised software structure and map it using the ApplicationTemplate.
[13-1] Example: "Flying saw" machine structure

How to proceed:
1. Analyse / divide the overall machine functionality (available machine structure / concept)
into subfunctions.  Identifying subfunctions of the machine structure ( 153)
2. Convert the determined subfunctions into machine modules:
one subfunction = one machine module.
3. Represent the machine modules in the form of a tree structure.
Then the machine structure is mapped in the machine structure tree (MMT) in the
ApplicationTemplate.
Step Action
1.  Preparation: Modularising the automation system into subfunctions ( 152)
• Identifying subfunctions of the machine structure
• Representing subfunctions of the machine structure as machine modules
• Representing machine modules in a tree structure
2.  Mapping the actual machine structure in the »PLC Designer« ( 154)
• Creating and integrating machine modules
• Integrating machine modules in the machine structure tree
3.  Managing module applications of the machine modules ( 158)
4.  Inserting an axis into the module application ( 159)
5.  Assigning the module application to the tasks ( 159)
6.  Setting up communication between master modules and slave modules ( 161)
7.  Application example: Extending the visualization ( 163)
8.  State machine ( 166)
9.  Manual jog of the axes ( 169)
10.  Error handling: Configuring the error handling ( 170)
