| Name | Description | Return type |
| MLMotionInit | Initializes the motion library. Must be called before any other Motion Library function. Returns TRUE if the function succeeded. BasePeriod is the duration of one motion cycle in microseconds. | BOOL |
| MLMotionRstErr | Re-initializes the motion engine after a motion error. Motion errors are for example communication errors of the motion bus. Returns TRUE if the function succeeded. | BOOL |
| MLMotionStart | Starts the motion engine, motion bus driver, and initializes EtherCATEtherCAT is an open, high-performance Ethernet-based fieldbus system. The development goal of EtherCAT was to apply Ethernet to automation applications which require short data update times (also called cycle times) with low communication jitter (for synchronization purposes) and low hardware costs network to operational mode. Applicable to PLCopenA vendor -and product- independent worldwide association active in Industrial Control and aiming at standardizing PLC file formats based on XML and PipesNetwork motion engines. Returns TRUE if the function succeeded. | BOOL |
| MLMotionStatus | Returns the status of the motion engine 0: Not initialized 1: Running 2: Stopped 3: Error | None |
| MLMotionStop | Stops the motion bus driver, motion engine, and EtherCAT network operation, resulting in the EtherCAT network transitioning to the Init state. Returns TRUE if the function succeeded. | BOOL |
| MLMotionSysTime | Prints the system time to the log | BOOL |
| MLMotionCycleTime | Returns the Motion Base Cycle time in seconds. |
