ControlLogix Multiple Motion Groups

For the first time today I tried to create a second motion group in a ControlLogix PLC, but the "New Motion Group" option is grayed out. Is it possible to create multiple motion groups?

I'm using a L72S running firmware version 28.

Thanks!

You can only have one motion group per controller.

Create a motion group

All axes must be added to the Motion Group in your project. If you do not
group the axes, they remain ungrouped and unavailable for use. You can only
have one Motion Group per Logix controller

I believe I heard that the new L8x processors can have more than one coarse update rate. I don't know if that means more than one motion group?

You can do multiple update rates on the L7's as well.

I had one drive that wasn't fully commissioned yet and was keeping the rest of the group from starting up, so I was hoping to move it to a different group to avoid that problem.
