Mechanism and Stand Alone Controller

Just made a gantry mechanism and set up the joints and transition times accordingly. When I go to add in a stand alone controller of two linear motors I run into the problem when I go to jog the gantry to a new position it resets the two joints that I have to the default of +-1000mm.

Where can I go to set the motors to move the distances I had set when building the mechanism?

    The joint limits (conf->MOC->arm) in your virtual controller are compared to your mechanism in the station and ajusted.

    Check both of them and make sure that in your conf. and in yout mechanism modeler the limits are set correct.

    Hi
    You have to change the arm data in configuration group motion (moc.cfg) for the controller
    -upper_joint_bound and 
    -lower_joint_bound
