Contouring in 4 axes of motion

[ktm1]

Lately I'm also getting these errors after the first:

Error # -70125 occured at LoadVectorSpacePosition on Coordinate 2

Possible reasons:

Motion: -70125 (NIMC_wrongModeError)

The function was not executed because it was attempted at an illegal time.

Error #-70063 occured at Start on Coordinate 2

Possible reasons:

Motion: -70063 (NIMC_bufferConfigurationError)

The buffer has not been configured properly.  Buffer type cannot be changed.  The buffer might exist in ROM, but has not yet been configured since the last power cycle.

You can disregard the most recent post with the two extra errors listed - I found the problem for those. 

I'm still having my original problem, though.

Kate,

The error you are receiving has to do with the timing between the start and hault commands.  The error is an isoltated bug in our older driver versions (occurs less than 5% of the time) and can be ignored.  The error should be fixed in the latest version of our motion driver (NI-Motion 7.2).

If you are using the older version of the driver, please disregard the message.  If you have upgraded to NI-Motion 7.2 and still see the error, please reply and let me know so I can pass your observations along to my R&D team.

Thanks,

I am also having a problem with fourth axis. I have labview 8, NI-motion 7.2 and PCI-7356

My code is similar to Jochen's example, but servos don't move and labview still gives the following error message:

Error # -70145 occured at Start

and

Error # -70145 occured at LoadVectorSpacePosition

-both two times.


Code works ok with one vector space only. Any ideas what could be the problem here?

Tommi,

Your problem might be that you only assigned one axis to the second vector space.  Try "Axis 4", "none," and "none."  (For future reference, Axis 4 must be listed first.  "none," "Axis 4," "none" won't work either.)

Thanks Kate! Now it works perfectly.
