Chris, that diagram is VERY simplified. Eeng has it about right. The CSMCs alter the output to suit demand. EG. Engine starters. Initial output would be low frequency and as the motor speeds up the frequency gets gradually higher to suit. It can also alter the speed of the hydraulic pumps. So in stable cruise the pumps slow down until a control input is made, the CSMC gets a signal to throttle up the pumps and delivers the required output. Very clever but damn complicated.
