•  If a Command Tolerance value of 100% is used for the last in the sequence 
then: 
SafetyMargin3 = CUP * MAS 
else 
SafetyMargin3 = CUP * MAS * .02 
•  Final SafetyMargin = SafetyMargin1 + SafetyMargin2 + SafetyMargin3 
Once a sequence is programmed and verified, it will repeat.

Merge 
The merge defines whether or not to turn the motion of all specified axes into a 
pure coordinated move. The options are: Merge Disabled, Coordinated Motion, 
or All Motion. 
•  Merge Disabled - Any currently executing single axis motion instructions 
involving any axes defined in the specified coordinate system are not 
affected by the activation of this instruction, and result in superimposed 
motion on the affected axes. An error is flagged if a second instruction is 
initiated in the same coordinate system or in another coordinate system 
containing any axes in common with the coordinate system that is active. 
•  Coordinated Motion - Any currently executing coordinated motion 
instructions involving the same specified coordinate system are terminated, 
and the active motion is blended into the current move at the speed defined 
in the merge speed parameter. Any pending coordinated motion 
instructions in the specified coordinate system are canceled. Any currently 
executing system single axis motion instructions involving any axes defined 
in the specified coordinate system are not affected by the activation of this 
instruction, and result in superimposed motion on the affected axes. 
•  All Motion - Any currently executing single axis motion instructions 
involving any axes defined in the specified coordinate system and any 
currently executing coordinated motion instructions are terminated. The 
prior motion is merged into the current move at the speed defined in Merge 
Speed parameter. Any pending coordinated move instructions are canceled.
