Is it possible to have a MC_PositionProfile that runs continuously again and again without stopping the motor and starting again.
I have a profile that contains about 50 steps that I want to repeat. At the end of each run the motor comes to a stop before the next one starts.
My code checks for Done, then resets the Execute to False before setting Execute to True to run again, and I think this is causing the motor to go to standstill before starting again.
There doesn't seem to be a BufferMode option like with MC_MoveAbsolute.
Is it possible to do this?
Many thanks,

Looks like it's not possible, so I take it using Cams is the way to do this.
Hi niallel,
yes, you are right, Cams would be the preferred mechanism.
Best regards,
