DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
NOTE: This command requires a Combitronic-supported motor. Although this
command does not support Combitronic syntax, it does use Combitronic
communication to pass information between other motors.
The GS (Go Synchronized) command is used to start synchronized motion or update buffered
values such as speed or acceleration. Only motors that have been included in the
synchronized move group will start when this is commanded. Motors are included in the
synchronized move group using the PTS, PTSS, PRTS or PRTSS command issued from a single
master motor.
If a GS command is transmitted and no motion results, refer to the G command for conditions
that may prevent motion (for details, see G on page 456). In addition, the PTS command has
several aspects that must be considered (for details, see PTS(...) on page 660).
While this command uses Combitronic communications, it does not have the typical
Combitronic syntax — that is because this command is intended to be called on the master
within the group of motors. Combitronic communications will automatically be sent to the
network so that participating motors will receive this command.
