Re: Recommendations for PC to run p.m. 940 conversion
OK, so I went into the configuration wizard and I'm pretty sure I set. What needed to be set to 5.08? And then basically when I look on the screen and it shows that I move one inch, the machine moves more than one inch. Also. The speed. Is a whole hell of a lot faster now. And I think it's moving so fast that. It's the reason it keeps throwing a fault if I move it nice and slow in any. Motion. Or mediocre speed it's OK, but as soon as I go to the high speed jog. It falls out. In each axis. I believe because it's going too fast. Anyhow, here is my current report. Onward and upward. Hopefully I can get some. Help with this one.

You have set Fast Jog and Max Rate to 400 in/min.
That is pretty fast
Reduce to 250 or less, what makes you feel confident.

Re: Recommendations for PC to run p.m. 940 conversion
Does the rest seem correct?? any ideas why I’m getting this drive fault??

Re: Recommendations for PC to run p.m. 940 conversion
Trying to move faster than the servos can do results in drive fault

Re: Recommendations for PC to run p.m. 940 conversion
OK I’ll have to sit down and play around with some of the configurations, I work for myself and as winter approaches I’ll get more and more time to work on the machine

Re: Recommendations for PC to run p.m. 940 conversion
Do my other settings seem correct because like I said on the screen showing machine movement of 1 inch it moves a lot more than 1 inch on the actual machine???

Re: Recommendations for PC to run p.m. 940 conversion
Are the motors mounted with a belt drive an a gear ratio?
Looks on one pic like a big pulley on the motor and a small on the machine...
Are the drivers set to 6400 pulse like Acorn?
