Function extension:
When calling several instances of a machine module (master machine module) in the 'MMT' POU and these instances are connected to identical machine modules (slave machine module) that also have the same address, only one reference to the slave machine module will be created when the ACD channel is created in the master machine module.

Application:
If an application includes identical machine module combinations, e.g. several flying saws with the master machine module 'Slide' and the slave machine module 'Blade', there is only one communication channel (ACD channel) to the slave machine module in the master machine module. I.e., depending on the master machine module instance, communication via the ACD channel will only take place with the connected slave machine module instance. In this way, master machine modules can be reused.
