Is it possible that you have some binding or tracking issues? The 7I39L has
a current limit of 15A/phase If you exceed ths current, you will suddenly
have a drastic change in your tuning as you will lose the inherent damping
of a voltage mode drive.

This can be mitigated by putting a common mode choke (Big
ferrite bead) over the three motor leads (DO NOT include the ground lead)
1) I wrapped each of 3 power wires for motor around a separate ferrite bead.
2) I connected machine frame to common

no significant noise in encoder signal.

Perhaps gimmicking up a HAL circuit with siggen or freqgen to drive the

The three phase PWM is a fair noise source. Not just capacitively coupled
noise from the three motor wires but inductively coupled noise due to
current spikes from the 28V PWM driving into the motors winding/frame
capacitance. This can be mitigated

to ground the encoder housing as well. The Ethernet ground is not connected
to the chassi of the encoder. I have been using AMT's for years with great

Hello!
The conclusion of my struggle with tuning servo motors is that I shall
change encoders. I based it on Jon's findings, when testing AMT 102
encoders and I also got a feedback from a local guy, who also had used
them on a cnc machine.
Sorry, Peter, I

I am suggesting this test because if there is a noise problem, different
encoders may not help.
Of course, I totally agree, but I just did not see a reason for noise by now.
A possible noise source is the PWM signals. This can

are you using the ttl - differential converter/transmitters that you
can get for the CUI/AMT encoders? (they are $10 US) we had issues with
ttl encoders above about 15ft. (shielded cable) We have used them on our
conversion and they work great (even for non cui/amt encoders)
