What acceleration , deceleration do you setup? Can send the trapeze photos?

when jog and stop then start the deccleration ,and this movment you not take in acount
what we do ,we limit the jog to 10% speed ,actualy if you create yours m function well ,you not need any jog ,mayby only to find part origion
but all other ,like go home ,go rest.... bater create yours mfunction

You try "develop " solution for something that already have many years very good solution
There several ways cominicate with drivers ,modebus, mechatrolink, ethercat...they all work perfect around the world,but you insist develop your own.....good luck

if you use hobby ( maybe also industrial but not sure) i suggest you to replace all "inst" to"0"
in old lua when you declare inst on top its was ok for all code  ,but then its become only on the main root not inside loops and function
in any case hobby not support more then one thread and always inst its 0 ,try
second advice its put in yours code in susspect line you think can be problem the comand
mc.mcCntlSetLastError(0, "Line *********")
so you can easy run MDI and debug yours function

why you think about speed with rs485?
rs485 its not close to be real time ,its can monitor the device or command the device but always with delay its not way to  interpolate  several axiss
or some thing like that,so speed ....9600 its more then need

i suggest you first connect yours servo by yours laptop with yours servo application( each servo have there application to remote the servo directly)
just to learn yours servo behavior
i tell this because when you will connect, you will see that the range that yours servo work its almost cant be monitor as you ask
for example we use 1000W servo and also we added external brake resistor ,even that you will see that yours servo load will jump from
0%  to 120% immediately while accl  and then another jump while deccl ...its not like you think some everange range working , if you  want follow yours servo load
2 options ,if to stop the machine as craig said by overload estop,if to follow yours motor or learn it better use yours servo software,or build rs485 application but only read the PWM by simple guge i think ...waste of time

I mean play real ,mean put servo on spindle ( lath)

i know nothing about tapping and metal work
but i have question ,because taping its very precise spindle job,and its not regular lath job, i mean spindle not need now rotae one direction long time( can be flow memory)
( i belive you call the rotation spindle)why not use spindle as axiss? interpolation between axiss in mach work perfect

« on: September 20, 2022, 03:10:02 AM »

i also use absolute but not ethercat ,we read the value with rs485 by our application ,and homing we make as "at position"
what you ask i think its the origin like g54 g55... not home

hi
only test on my laptop ,seem no any problem
ill test on machine later
***the segment are not so extreme short
     as i see its about 0.3-0.5 mm its quit normal we use this length a lot without any problem
