Event driven motion systems

1. A motion system comprising:

a motion enabled device that performs motion operations based on motion commands;

an event source that generates a predetermined motion message in a first format upon an occurrence of an event corresponding to the predetermined motion message, where the motion message corresponds to a desired motion operation;

a message generator for converting the predetermined motion message from the first format to a second format;

a message receiver for converting the predetermined motion message from the second format to a third format;

a motion services module for mapping the motion message in the third format to at least one motion command corresponding to the desired motion operation; whereby

the motion services module runs the at least one motion command on the motion enabled device such that the motion enabled device performs the desired motion operation.

2. A motion system as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a computer network, where the second format allows the predetermined motion message to be transmitted over the computer network.

3. A motion system as recited in claim 2 , where the second format allows the predetermined motion message to be transmitted instantly over the computer network, network latencies notwithstanding.

4. A motion system as recited in claim 1 , in which the first and third formats are the same.
