There are three ways you can start the second move in a blend:

Superimpose the two moves by starting the second move as the first
move starts to decelerate

Start the second move after the first profile is complete

Start the second move after the first profile is complete and the added
delay time has elapsed

Refer to the

Move Profiles

section of Chapter 4,

Superimpose Two Moves

Superimposing two moves is the most common use of blending. In this
case, the motion controller tries to maintain continuous motion by
superimposing the two move segments such that the second move segment
starts its profile while the first move is decelerating, as shown in
Figure 9-2.

Figure 9-2. Superimposing Two Moves

The velocity during the superimposition depends on the cruising velocity,
deceleration, and jerk of the first move segment, and the jerk, acceleration,
and cruising velocity of the second move segment.
