Abstract:
1. A system in communication with a host system and for allowing communication among processing nodes in a system, comprising: a communication node executing a host communication object; an electro-mechanical component; a work management object, host communication object, and a motion object; a component node controlling the electro-mechanical component and executing the motion object; a controller node executing the work management object, wherein the controller node manages system commands, wherein the host communication object receives a command from the host system to instruct the motion object executing in the component node to control the electro-mechanical component of the system to perform an operation, wherein the host communication object generates a message, including the command to instruct the motion object, to send to the work management object, wherein each of the communication, controller and component nodes includes a processor capable of multitasking multiple program objects and a communication interface to transmit and receive data between the nodes; source program logic implemented in the communication, controller and component nodes, wherein the node executing the source logic comprises a source node, wherein the source program logic causes the source node processor to perform:
