Hi All - I was wondering if someone can help point me in the right direction.
I have been using EMC with steppers and homemade driver boards for sometime now and things were working so so (not enogh motor power for CNC milling) I decided to convert to a servo setup and its been tough... I have a Mesa Electronis M5i20 board connected to a 7i30 board (Mesa) "The 7I30 is a 3A, 36V 4 channel H-bridge motor driver for the 4I27, 4I34, 4I65, 5I20 and 7I60 motion controllers." These are connected to DC Brush motors and a 12V 7A power supply. Here's where I need assistance... I have the encoders working but no power to the motors, jogging causes following errors no matter what jog rate I use. I have tried various inputs to the follwing variables but I can't drive the motors: MAX_OUTPUT = 10 DEADBAND = 0.000015 - .002 P = 150 I = 100 D = 0.15 I have a Mesa Diagnostics board connected to the setup and when I jog the X-axis the LED for DAC-00-ouput (pin-15, IO7) comes on for a brief moment and then I get a following error. No matter what I set MAX_OUTPUT to halscope only shows a signal of 1v/div. Thanks in advance. -ali ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
