Moving traverse from point to point repeatedly

Moving traverse from point to point repeatedly

2 suggestions:

1. Move to positions
BASE(0)
REPEAT
  MOVEABS(position1)
  MOVEABS(position2)
UNTIL event=TRUE

2. Move to sensor position1 and position 2 are set to be beyond the sensor postion
BASE(0)
REPEAT
  MOVEABS(position1)
  WAIT UNTIL IN(1)=ON
  CANCEL
  WAIT IDLE
  MOVEABS(position2)
  WAIT UNTIL IN(2)=ON
  CANCEL
  WAIT IDLE
UNTIL event=TRUE
