A fundamental tenet of this architectural framework is to situate complexity in a minimal and proximate manner relative to the equipment. This can be readily grasped by traversing the hierarchy from the lowest to the highest level. The Base Methods (BM), which are defined in terms of specific variables, are entirely defined at the level of the equipment (Executor) and can be called through the dedicated Application Programming Interface (API). In this context, a BM is defined as a series of standardized operations that are controlled locally by the equipment control software.
