NOTE- This was resolved by rotating the power leads on the motor. But the motor is mounted backwards behind the table. Not sure if this a "REV" setting - I get 412 Encoder errors. The table moved in the right directions - the encoders seem stable and move just fine too compared to X and Z. Digging in.


OK... I'm so close guys! All the tests pass. I even have the Haunyang 3hp VFD running from the Pendant! Here's my question: When I did the motor move tests, the X motor would jog fine. + or - spins the motor. It Stayed locked in position until I hit a limit Sw. Same on Z. all good. But the Y motor, when I hit + or - Just runs and runs. Wont stop till I hit the Limit Sw. then if I hit Jog- IT starts running again till I press a limit on Y. Any thought on this?

I've hooked the belts back up. Wanted to see if it might be some residual spin w/ no real torque ??? Would welcome input for my work this weekend when ya'll are not around.

Sorry to be a pain. .

Hi So I hooked up my belts and drives. Very smooth X and Z movements. The Y drive just took off until it hit the Limit. I've checked the Alt-I input screens and found the 2 axis input lights for + and - to insure that when I use the pendant, the Key is not stuck or anything weird. So what would cause that unless I have something configured wrong? Hope you guy's can help me w/ this one before the week ends as I hoped to actually put steel on this Mill Well...My Son did anyway. LOL. SO CLOSE!!!

As a note- I'm also getting a SV_Stall error every time as well..... Did a search on this site. Not really sure what that even means as yet.

TIA,
TGIF

Talked to Support- Noted I probably have the Motor + and - leads reversed. That its goes 1 way (wrong way) expects encoders the other way - Get lost till it hits the stop. Makes sense. Noted to also check the Encoder count direction. Make sure counter-clockwise goes more positive. If backwards, issue a the Drive Reverse setting in config. Kewlness!!! REady to get this thing into gcode and chips soon!
