Apposing Axis Movement Order Change
XL200

When Apposing Axes have conflicting targets that would cause them to crash into one another, one Axis will move the other out of the way while it fires on its target. In order to be as efficient in producing parts as possible they are both moved "at the same time". It is assumed that they are configured to have the same velocity and acceleration profiles so that one will not run into the other during the move.

However, there can be delays, especially with MODBUS, that can be significant enough that will allow one axis to crash into the other.

This change tests to see which axis is moving away from danger and which axis is moving toward danger. The one that is moving away is started first. Any delays will now make the move even safer.
