Just an update guys.
With all of your help, and Rockwell's Jim Svarovsky's help, we were able to use the phasing suggestion earlier and apply it in Contrologix Motion.
There were a few hurdles, but we managed to get it with an average error of 1/32" or less.
It required using 2 additional Virtuyal axi on top of the Virtual Encoder axi, but it works well and accurately.
During the move, I monitor the error and issue a incremental move on the servo while it is following a virtual master axis, to catch it up to the position of the virtual encoder axis. When I am in position I stop. The pahsing commands are so smooth that you do not even see it until it stops. When it stops, it usually overshoots a bit so it backs up. This is the only visual cue that anything is happening outside the norm.
Thanks for all the help.
