will perform a find home cycle. Wait until this completes for both axes and the
Position Valid %I bits turn on. The Position Valid %I bit for Axis 1 is the %I offset 17 bit
(the 18th %I bit), and for Axis 2 is the %I offset 33 bit (the 34th %I bit). The resulting
display is shown in the following figure.

4.
Enable Local Logic by setting the %Q offset 1 bit from the Host Controller. If there
are no errors, you can then execute the motion programs.
5.
Execute Program 1 by toggling %Q offset 2 bit. The motor connected to Axis #1
should then begin to execute Motion Program #1.
6.
Execute Program 2 by toggling %Q offset 3 bit. The motor connected to Axis #2
should begin to execute Motion Program #2.
7.
The motors will execute the statements until they reach the first DWELL, where you
can visually verify that it followed the CAM profile correctly. The display should be
similar to the following figure. Note that the commanded position for Axis#2 equals
2500, while the commanded position for the slave corresponds to the CAM table
and has the value 10,000.
