Thanks.
Yes, each CIM motor is connected to its own motor controller. The programming of multiple motor controllers is no different than controlling one motor per action in Java. You just have to make sure that every time you set the speed for one motor, you also set the speed for the other motor, in order to ensure that they are always going at the same speed.
