velocity control with RAPID


My first time here.

First of all, I am RAPID newbie. I am interested in what can/has be/been done with RAPID.

I know that RAPID enables position-to-position motion. I would like to know if it is possible to mock a velocity controller by programming a loop that makes small position increments. I know that RAPID enables fly-by points and concurrent execution. So I wonder if those commands can be used to generate arbitrary trajectories.

Thanks.

  • @sleonard I have the exact same question... I know this was from a very long time ago, but I am wondering if you every got an answer to this question? 

    Thanks,
    Brian.
