We don't make much use of the OMS system - we tend to use serial line
motor controllers (but they are starting to come with ethernet addresses
as well). Typically we separate setting the next demand and the move
command into separate instructions. If we set demands on multiple axes
before a move instruction the axes move synchronously under hardware
control.  Otherwise the moves are (of course) asynchronous.

Just a thought.
