Files modified: devSoft.h, devSoft.c, devSoftAux.c +4) A problem with issuing a stop command (via either the STOP or SPMG field) +was found with ALL OMS boards and ALL versions of the OMS device drivers. The +root cause of this problem is a statement in the OMS manual that is not +entirely correct; i.e., the AC and VL commands are not completely queued. + +The motor record issues both the target move and the backlash move on the same +command line to the motor controller. Each move (target and backlash) has its' +own acceleration rate. The problem was that when a STOP command was issued +during the target move, the backlash acceleration would go into effect. This +could result in a prolonged deceleration if the backlash acceleration rate +(BACC) is much smaller than the target acceleration rate (ACCL). + +With this release both the devOms and the devOms58 device support issue the +target acceleration rate (ACCL) with the STOP command. + File modified: devOmsCom.c + Modification Log from V3.5 to V4.0 ==================================
