Can multitasking improve performance?

 In many systems there are motion and logic rotines. I'm more concerned about multiple short distance moves at high speed
(5mm @ 200mm/s) causing CPU oerload and Corner Path Failure. Is it fruitfull keeping them separated tasks to relief some CPU load?

Thanks

    hi leo

    mulitasking will not help corner path failure or speed things up, if you can it is best to remove targets that are close together and use z0 where you can. multitask is good where you have to run other things (eg. a conveyor indexing) in the background or in parallel and also when you don't want a seqence to stop executing upon an e-stop.

     

    hope this helps

    Thanks fou your reply, robot_at_apex.

     Removing close points is not alowed in thins case, because each point is an inspection target that must be checked. Any way, thanks for you explanation on multitasking.
