stopping a contour move using velocity override function in softmotion

[altofame]

Hello

I am using NI softmotion, and what I am trying to do is to stop a contour move on the run and further execute a straight line move on a single axis.

I tried to do this using the "stop move" module in immediate stop mode.

BUT the thing is after stopping the movement, and trying to execute a straight line movement, an error will be found in which I believe is a bug or something.

here's the detail of the error:

 code -77028

The buffer handle specified for the contouring move is invalid.

I discussed this matter with NI Thailand, and they told me that it is because I used the stop module to stop the contour movement, if however, I let the contour move finish, and then execute the straight line movement, there will be no error. In this case they are certainly correct.

The solution given:

Use write function to override the velocity to 0 instead of the stop function.

Problem: I tried to do as they explained, but its been a no joy, in my case the write function doesn't seem to work, and the contour move just keep on running.

I have attached the VI, can anyone take a look a see if I did something wrong?

cheers

Hi Altofame,

This is expected because when you stop a move you destroy the reference. Does the clear faults function do what you need?

Thank you for your reply.

I tried using clear fault after immediate stop, and it doesnt seem to work.

I've attached the updated VI that I used.
