A VTS module is a state-logic control program. The concept of modules and how they operate is essential to using VTS. They provide a powerful and flexible means of implementing the desired configuration.
A module can be thought of as a separate task to be done by the system. Separate modules may typically be used to perform such tasks as:
• Drawing graphics;
• Doing I/O Communications;
• Data Logging;
• Alarming; and
• Control Logic.
There are no limits on the types and number of modules that you define in the application. They provide a convenient way to organize the application into logically separate tasks.
