Abstract: A system for allowing an application program to communicate with any one of a group of supported hardware devices comprising a software system operating on at least one workstation and a network communications protocol. The software system includes a control command generating module for generating control commands based on component functions of an application program, component code associated with the component functions, and the driver code associated with software drivers associated with the hardware devices. The network communication protocol allows the control commands to be communicated from the control command generating module to at least one of the supported hardware devices over the network.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating communication between an application program and underlying motion control hardware in a hardware independent manner. A communication map maps a generic grid of mapping information cells to the actual information cells implemented by the particular hardware. Each actual information cell may be located in different areas and may transfer different values on each hardware platform. The communication map allows common functions to be used across a plurality of supported hardware device implementations.
