AN-314 MOVELINK_MODIFY Motion command

MOVELINK_MODIFY is a new axis parameter that allows MOVELINK motion commands to be modified whilst they are running.

A typical example of using MOVELINK_MODIFY is for stopping product relative to a registration mark when using MOVELINK commands which link motion to a conveyor.

In the example the originally planned MOVELINK is shown using the green (speed) and yellow (position) traces. In this example the MOVELINK was cut short to terminate the move early by a programmable amount.
