General Mach Discussion / Re: loosing steps

Hi,
It is not a stepper driver, its a servo. High Level Feed Back is a signal that is programmed into the servo, usually to signal a servo fault. Has OP programmed the servo?
Correct you can stall them all day long without damage.

The HLFB, as I understand it, is the stepper driver.

What Craig is wanting you to do is to force a fault on the driver by deliberately overloading the axis motor to see if the fault shows up in Mach. I am guessing it will but I can understand your trepidation at deliberately causing your motor to overload. Don't worry about that as the system is designed to protect its self.
