A Control object manages a motion controller device. The device is typically a single board residing in a PC or an embedded system. A control object can read and write device memory through one of a variety of methods: I/O port, memory mapped or device driver. For the case where the application and the motion controller device exist on two physically separate platforms connected by a LAN or serial line, the application creates a client control object which communicates via remote procedure calls with a server. Unlike the methods of all other objects in the MPI, Control object methods are not thread-safe. Are you using TCP/IP and Sockets? If yes, click here.
