Motion Blocks

When you select Synchronize with next Home Axis, the block
immediately following the Home Axis block must be another Home Axis
block. Otherwise, GML Commander does not permit you to connect the
two blocks. In the example above, Synchronize with next Home Axis
should be selected in the first three Home Axis blocks—but not in the last
block—to home all four axes simultaneously.

Move Axis

The Move Axis block moves a servo axis to a specified absolute position,
or by a specified incremental distance, at a specified speed using a
specified acceleration and deceleration. In addition to these absolute and
incremental moves, the Move Axis block can also generate many other
special types of moves.

The Move Axis block resides on the Main Palette.

The figure below shows the general form of a trapezoidal move starting
with the axis at standstill.
