I have a update.. i fixed some wiring and changed the drive connection cables to shielded. And now it will only travel in one direction regardless of direction command. And thats only on X axis drive 1 output. Y Z 4th dont work at all. And appears 5th works in one direction as well i understand this...

Agreeable. But assuming I have done one machine that works perfectly fine.I would think following that would be okay. Once I get the machine back together , I will see what happens

They are set up mostly the same as the recommended way to set up the sigma 5 tech bulletin As I said before I had the same drivre working on another machine they work wonderful over a year

I actually decided to tear everything out that i have done so far. To back track. And then i connected only one drive to acorn to isolate. And still nothing. The drive shows run on display as soon as i command motion and it holds position but no movement im stumped. Either the acorn isent generating...

I have them in the same mode as sigma 5s. Puls sign negative logic

They were already working i also did another machine last year with same drives and its still running fine .... the differential board seems like a reasonable idea. Although just more money!

Well now i cant get any motion now at all theres no faults. The acorn is sending pulses and the yaskawa are indicating run mode but no motion. Nothing has changed.

you were correct it doesent lose Z height with spindle off .... so now what lol

i had feeling it could be noise... i will try thanks
