Blending 4+ axis using flex motion 6C card and software.

[Himanshu]

I want to blend the motion of 4 axis using flex motion software. Blending three axis is easy using intilize vector space but doing the same for 4+ axis is tough. Kindly tell me the way in which we can blend 4+ axis using vector space.

Currently the Flexmotion driver only supports coordinated moves up to 3 axes. For systems with 4 or more axes, you will need to divide them into 2 different vector moves. If you call the Start VI twice, with one VI right after the other, then there should only be a small delay of a couple ms. Check for blend complete on both moves to keep them in step.

You can also implement this as a set of contour moves and all of the axes should stay together except for the small offset.

KINDLY CHECK THE VI AND GIVE ME SOME SUGGESTIONS AND REASONS WHY IT IS SHOWING ERROR -70125 ILLEGAL TIME ERROR.THIS VI IS MENT FOR 4 AXIS MOVE AND HAS TWO VECTOR SPACES INITIALIZED. kINDLY CHECK THE VI AND TELL ME THE PROBLEM WITH IT.
