`ABSTRACT
`
`R. Schacht
`
`is
`in which an application
`A system for motion control
`from the actual motion control
`developed that is independent
`the system. The system com-
`hardware used to implement
`prises a software system that employs
`an application pro-
`gramming interface comprising component
`functions and a
`service provider
`interface
`comprising
`driver
`functions. A
`system programmer writes
`an application
`that calls
`the
`component
`functions. Code associated with the component
`functions
`relates these functions
`to the driver
`functions. A
`hardware designer writes driver code that
`implements
`the
`driver
`functions on a given motion control hardware prod-
`uct. The driver
`functions
`are separated
`into core
`and
`extended driver
`functions. All software drivers implement
`the core driver functions, while the software drivers need not
`contain code for implementing
`the extended driver
`func-
`tions.
`If
`the software
`driver does not contain
`code
`to
`implement an extended driver function,
`the functionality of
`the extended driver
`function is obtained through a combi-
`nation of core driver functions. The system programmer may
`also select one or more streams
`that allow the control
`commands
`to be communicated
`to, and response data to be
`communicated
`from, motion control hardware.
