Hello,
Can we use the gantry function in the Motion App to synchronise multiple hydraulic axes (ex: IAC - 4WRPDH)? Also to rephrase the question, is it planned for ctrlX to have something like the MLC for hydraulic drives?
Thanks.

The 1st hydraulic controller which will be available for the ctrlX-plattform will be the pos/force controller. It will be provided as PLC-lib. The release is planed for end of march 2024, being published in the STORE.
The experience regarding expected performance on ctrlX Core as well as on hydraulic-axis side are restricted right now, since we await the release as well.
You mention the sychronious control of several hydraulic axis. Well, the "Gleichlaufregler'/Sync-Controller" like known from the MLCH controller will not be available by then. I expected there releases afterwards, but the timeline is not predictable so far.
Depending on the application-requirements it may be worth to check if the hydraulic axis could be coupled with the motion-app provided synchronious features.
As soon as the release is published we will start working with it.
