Hello.
How to use XM21 to achieve high-speed gantry control? Has anyone done a similar system.
There are five axes, X1(AXIS_1), X2(AXIS_2), Y, Z, G,

One option might be to realize this configuration as a user-defined kinematic, with the kinematic's target X position transerred to both Axis_X1 and Axis_X2.
See IndraWorks online help under 'Extended user-defined transformation' for more information. Functional, but minimally tested, project archive attached. The project mock-up does not include critical features to handle the gantry axes (Axis_X1, Axis_X2) like position monitoring and initialization.

Thank you for your reply.
The customer requires a high work speed and is unsure if XM has mature application cases.
X1 X2 speed 4m/s, distance of 20m.
Y Speed 4m/s,distance of 13m.
Z Speed 3.6m/s,distance of 3m.
G Speed 0.5m/s,distance of 0.3m.

The speed is mainly limited on the hardware (motors, gear boxes, linear axis) not of the controller. In the XM22 the minimal cycle time of motion calculation and fieldbus is :
See e.g the "IndraLogic XLC IndraMotion MLC 14VRS Functional Description" chapter "7.2 Cycle times":
