2 robots, simultaneous movement

Robot Controller
1

I will have a system of 2 robots with 1 controller. We have purchased the controller with Multimove Independent. What we would like to do is run the 2 robots, independently, with 2 different RAPID programs (modules/routines or whatever you’d like to call them), at the same time. They are far enough apart and do not need to be in sync, but need to run at the same time. Is this possible with 1 controller?
Robot 1 would have to run Module P1 and Robot 2 would run Module P2, both at the same time. Usually, RAPID code would be written as :

PROC main()
P1;
P2;
ENDPROC

But this will run P2 after P1. We do not want this. How can I run P1 and P2 at the same time? Thanks.

Hi

The 2 robots have different tasks. Each task has his own main routine, where the program will start. They will run independent.

Best regards

My concern is that I need to do a few things via I/O first, which will be in one task. Once certain conditions are met, I need both robots to start their paths at the same time. How would i accomplish this? I think there is some code to do this, but no good examples on it’s use.
