My CTRIO won't load second pulse profile.

I have an H0-CTRIO2 installed in a DL05 PLC with two pulse profiles stored in its memory. One profile homes a leadscrew and the second, a trapazoid plus profile then moves the leadscrew to a calculated position. Or rather, its supposed to. I can load and run the homing profile no problem, but then when I go to load the positioning profile I am able to put in all of the parameters and set the process command bit but the CTRIO never returns a command completed bit. Am I missing a step? Thanks in advance.

      Gary, thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I wasn't able to gleen any useful information from the other thread. I think I should elaborate a bit on my situation.

       

      At the moment I am not using any iBoxes because I was not able to get any profiles to run when I was trying to use them. So, I am creating automation for an industrial bandsaw which is able to feed the material into the saw using a shuttle vise. The exact length of material fed is determined by a feed length multiplied by a feed count. In my program, the operator gives the program a "cut length" which the program then calculates the feed parameters from. Once the parameters are determined, the shuttle stop is homed to 0" and then moved to the feed length. In the ladder, the homing routine is loaded and run without a problem, when it finishes, the routine then calls the next routine to move back to the feed position using a different pulse profile. I am unable to get the second profile to give me a success bit. I have checked and all necessary bits (enable output, command complete, etc.) are off prior to loading the second profile and the profile parameters are all getting changed prior to setting the process command bit.

       

      long winded I know but I would truly appreciate any insight into this quandry. Thanks
