The ApplicationTemplate PackML...
• ...helps to implement the mechatronic structure of an automation system (which has been
previously implemented as tree topology) in a modular manner according to the PackML
standard.
• ...enables the integration of predefined machine modules with prepared applications/
technology modules (for instance the functionality for cross-cutting).
• ...simplifies and speeds up the creation of PLC programs in the long term by re-use of a
standardised project structure in the form of a modularised folder structure.
What are the advantages of the ApplicationTemplate PackML?
The ApplicationTemplate PackML facilitates programming with the »PLC Designer« ...
• ...by the defined folder structure which "cleans up" and which can be extended individually.
• ...renders the navigation for extending or creating machine programming easier.
• The ApplicationTemplate PackML contains ready-made, re-usable machine modules and
module applications which minimise the risk of compilation errors in order to thus reduce time
and costs.
