SafetyMargin1 = CUP * MAS 
else   
SafetyMargin1 = CUP * MAS * .02   
2.  For all other moves in the blending sequence between first and last: 
SafetyMargin2 = CUP * MAS * .02 * number of blending moves between 
1st and last 
3.  If a Command Tolerance value of 100% is used for the last in the sequence 
then: 
SafetyMargin3 = CUP * MAS 
else   
SafetyMargin3 = CUP * MAS * .02   
4.  Final SafetyMargin = SafetyMargin1 + SafetyMargin2 + SafetyMargin3 
Once a sequence is programmed and verified, it will repeat.

Merge 
The Merge operand determines whether or not to turn the motion of all specified 
axes into a pure coordinated move. The Merge options include: 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 results in superimposed motion on the affected axes. 
Also, any coordinated motion instructions involving the same specified 
coordinate system runs to completion based on its termination type. 
•  Coordinated Motion 
Any currently executing coordinated motion instructions involving the 
same specified coordinate system are terminated. The active motion is 
blended into the current move at the speed defined in the merge speed 
parameter. Any pending coordinated motion instructions are cancelled. 
Any currently executing system single axis motion instructions involving 
any axes defined in the specified coordinate system will not be affected by
