dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Tuning dspMC with Axis Works.
« on: December 23, 2008, 10:14:51 AM »
Im running a 2 axis plasma with dual servos and the dspMC motion controller.
I've tuned the servo drives and im trying to get motion via the motion controller but they dont give much information on setting up your drives with the axis works in the install manual.
When I arm the PID, the motor moves 3000 steps and stops and it seams to be regardless of what i have setup to jog in the axis works. I put in the suggested PID values with no luck. Anyone had any experience with this controller, how did you set up your PID values?
And how is the "execute command" function supposed to work. It seams like this button does nothing. I'll press "arm PID" once and nothing happens, and if i press it again, i get movement. Then the third time the light beside "arm PID" go green and nothing happens. It seems like the "execute command" button has no function.
