Re: Quadrature Error
>Have you done the tests for encoder feedback working? Just tried that and I can’t even turn the ballscrew without it giving the quadrature error. If I take the OAK PS earth off then I can test and the position is spot on. I think the answer lies here. If with the motor drives disabled you have enco...

Re: Quadrature Error
So, an important thing to understand is that earth from the mains is primarily for electrical safety and noise noise. It can help as a return path for noise introduced by the mains supply itself. You have done the right thing star pointing the earths. But, remember eliminating noise is about reducin...

Re: CONFIRM ENCODER COMMUNICATION
No need to start a new thread, unless there is an unrelated issue to discuss. I would definitely like to see your wiring arrangement. The signals to/from the Oak are differential, so very hard to introduce noise into, however, not impossible if you have very bad common mode noise due to high current...

Re: CONFIRM ENCODER COMMUNICATION
Could you post a video of the noise. I spent a year and a half and several hundred emails working with DMM to try resolve almost every possible issue under the sun. If you are not using their motors then good luck getting them to work. If you are running them in precision mode (A/B) mode then take c...

Re: Strange noise on acceleration curve during motor tuning
Also, starting with slower acceleration times (like 0.5s) would make tuning easier. Then works towards faster acceleration.

Re: Strange noise on acceleration curve during motor tuning
Usually high frequency control oscillation is caused by too much proportional gain or not enough derivative gain. Usually a good PID tuning method is to start will really low Kp and 0 Kd and 0 Ki, low enough Kp that response is sluggish. Then start increasing Kp bit ny bit until you start seeing sig...

Re: CONFIRM ENCODER COMMUNICATION
Just for future reference, here is why the DMM LINE_NUM is 4095: The manual says: "Pulse output per revolution = LINE_NUM * 4" But actually for higher output frequencies, the equation is: unnamed (1).png So 4095, gives Encoder Line Number = 8192 A (or B) pulses per revolution, which is 327...

Re: CONFIRM ENCODER COMMUNICATION
First, test the DMM servos stand alone. For example with their self tuning software. If they are able to control themselves properly, then that confirms the drives are working and the encoders to the drives are working correctly. You may need to force your safety relay on during this test to prevent...

Oak acceleration S curve adjjustment
Can the acceleration S curve shape be adjusted on the Oak? Like on motor drives where you can adjust the acceleration/deceleration ramp in times and the constant acceleration time. It seems to me that these are fixed to 15% of the total acceleration time (as set in the PID config menu). Below is an ...
