A module is a root ARINC 653 item that uses a number of partition parts and channels supporting communication between them. For more information see the ARINC SPECIFICATION 653P1-2, December 1, 2005.

A Module models the <Module> element of the ARINC 653 configuration, which appears in the Module XML file.

The structure of the <Module> element is as follows for VxWorks:
