Has anyone successfully written a program for a CTRIO module? If so would you mind sharing it? It can either be for a DL240 or DL250. I would like the run to position feature or dynamic move. I simply want to push a button and see he servo turn until the encoder reaches the set number and stops the stepper motor. It all works fine in the workbench but I can not get a program to work. When I monitor with the workbence while running the program, the Command never changes to Run to Position, the Position number does not load. The process command goes on and the enable goes on but since the command and postition are not loaded it does not work. The examples in the book are useless. Why have examples if they do not work? Very Frustrated with AD at this point. Would AB be easier to use?

a agnone,
Please e-mail me your project (program) and also your .CWB file (that's the CTRIO configuration that you can save in a file). I will help you get it working.
