<Controller Name="Arcas 5EG-0">
  <Template Name="PositionControlTemplate" TemplateType="ProcessingBlock">
    <Updatable Name="Updatable">
      <FilePath>C:\your\path\to\PositionControlSimple-windows-x86_64.bin</FilePath>
    </Updatable>
  </Template>

  <Template Name="PositionControlTemplate2" TemplateType="ProcessingBlock">
    <Updatable Name="Updatable">
      <Content>AAAAAAoDHvcmBQAAAA==</Content>
    </Updatable>
  </Template>
</Controller>

Note

A Template is instantiated (and scoped) within a controller. If a Template with the provided name already exists in the controller where it is defined, then either:

  • if it has the exact same attributes (specifying attributes when Template already exists is optional), then updatable content can be changed.

  • otherwise, initialization fails.
