The Electric Drives and Controls Div. of Bosch Rexroth (Hoffman Estates, IL) now supports the PackML state model via a software module.

States are clearly labeled and operate in the same manner regardless of the machine type, showing the status of the machine when it is stopped, running, or waiting for material, for example. This allows servo-controlled machines to operate with the same clear user interface as mechanical machines.
