Can I divide axises into multi-groups under onboard programming mode?

[molezhou]

Now I am using 7358 (8 axises) & I need to divide them into 4 groups. Since I use onboard programming mode, I am not sure whether multi-groups under onboard programming will work well, since DSP processor on motion card will deal with these groups in sequence. Will they affect on each other or is there any conflict? I have searched the key words in CAR database & fortunately there is none direct record about it. But anyway, I want to be convinced. Thanks.

You can work with multiple vector spaces (VS) in an onboard program which should correspond to the term "groups". Please note that you can't share axes between vector spaces. The axes (A)must be assigned exclusivly to one vector space.

Example for a valid configuration:

VS1: A1, A2
VS2: A3, A4

Example for an invalid configuration:

VS1: A1, A2
VS2: A2, A3

In the second case VS2 would "steal" Axis2 from VS1.
