Hello!

I am trying to set the machine up. It has 5i23+7i48 cards, 3 Kinco servo
drives and 3 linear scales, so I am aiming at trying 2 feedback devices for
each joint.
I have following questions:

1) I tried autotuning of these Kinco drives; currently motors are stable
and as it seems fine as much as I can tell at the moment.
Does anybody have experience with Kinco servo drives and their autotuning
feature? Is there anything specific to take into account, anything specific
to adjust?

2) to test feedback loop in servo drive, I would like temporarily not to
use pid modules in LinuxCNC, but it seems that I can't figure out correct
HAL connections.
In HAL file I have:
axis.0.motor-pos-cmd => hm2_5i23.0.pwmgen.00.value
axis.0.motor-pos-fb <= hm2_5i23.0.encoder.00.position
But it seems that there is something wrong - if I try to jog motor, it just
moves until ferror is triggered. Everything is fine, if I drive pwmgen
value from pyvcp widget - motor moves smoothly and encoder velocity seems
correct, it smoothly changes as I adjust pwmgen value.

3) currently my servo tuning experience includes exclusively 7i39 drives,
so now I do not understand, how am I supposed to close position loop in
LinuxCNC, when velocity loop is closed in servo drives (they are running in
velocity mode). Is it correct that I should use only P and I parameters?
If yes, does it mean that with 2 feedback devices I would use only P
parameter in pid controller that receives position feedback from motor and
and I parameter in pid controller that receives position feedback from
linear scales?

Thanks in advance!
