I am using 2.4.6 with Grantrykins config to drive a gantry machine with 2 motors on the Y axis. I have tuned the machine and it seems to run fine, almost... Using MDI, I can command any position at speed up to about 3300ipm. Or, I can run ngc programs to exercise the gantry all day long. However….
1) If I go into Axis' Manual Control tab (in World Mode), and try to jog via keyboard keys I can only do that if Jog Speed is <588 for X/Z axis, and <488 for Y axis. Anything above those speeds and I get an immediate following error and fault. If I go into Joint Mode (while staying in Manual Control tab) I can jog X/Z at any speed. I can also jog Y (probably at any speed), but in joint mode it would rack badly. 2) If I go into MDI tab (in World Mode) and click anywhere in the History box I can jog X/Z axis at any speed (set by Jog Speed slider), but if I try to jog Y axis only the left motor turns (and gantry racks). Now, I thought I wasn't even supposed to be able to use the jog keys in MDI, but perhaps I am mistaken. In any case, it seems to be in Joint Mode even though I am actually in World Mode. I have watched all of the signals associated with X and Y axes in Halscope but do not see anything telling. I see a small blip for commanded position as if it is trying to get there and a vertical spike for following error just before the fault (in #1 above). This really seems to be a bug in how World/Joint Modes work in Manual vs MDI modes… -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
