Mach4 General Discussion / Re: ESS and MACH 4 two servos on one output not possible ESS reset velocity C

« on: April 06, 2022, 10:54:25 PM »

mach is not close loop ,if you connect 2 or 3 or 4 motors on one output for mach its mean nothing
so i don't think (if i understand yours description well) its mach problem
i use exactly same as you method( not as slave motor ,but put 2 on one output)in many many machines and work
most of time hade problems as  parameter on 2 servo not same
i suggest you take out the motors and try run without any load this gantry

Craig I think you missing some numbers
I checked it about year ago different then pokeys was about 1500$ not 600
I talk about 5-6 motors. 24inputs 64 output
I don't remember all details but you must buy the rtx license....it was big money

Do you mean magazine like this?

Only reason I understand you it's less wiring because all rest I have also with pokeys ( 80 output,no limit input)
I asked about Ethercat because I use absolute encoder and as first option I thought Ethercat ,but I use onther way
By the way here sample of much more complex solution with step/dir

About OB please explain me what you mean, because I use servo magazine,I use rotary axiss... what exactly your need

do you have close loop steper? if not ,you have not any way to avoid it because no any way to get alarm when driver cant close the loop
so my first suggest is move to servo( now servo not so high price) if you so strict with the price move to steeper close loop
