Runtime Software Controls the Machine Essentially, the libraries are divided into three abstraction layers:
Machines and systems are controlled by runtime software that • The solution layer primarily contains complete, easy-to-use soft-

• The system layer provides experts with complete system access.
Unlike engineering software, runtime software operates continu-
ously — it is a part of the machine and ensures correct operation.
The upper layers are separated by compatibility levels. Essentially,
