Communication between a mm4006 controller and LTA-HL actuator

[golum]

I use Labwindows CVI to control 2 LTA-HL actuators (Newport) via a MM4006 Controller. I would like that the first actuator finish its displacement after the second one starts to move. Do you know how to formulate this instruction?

Hello,

Not a nice solution but ...

You can repeatedly ask for an axis motor status ("%dMS\r",AxisNumber) and check if the motor is still in motion (bit 0). You can add an extra check on bits 3 and 4 (0x18) to verify that it has not stopped because of a limit switch.

Succes
