Glad to hear it was an easy fix for you.

The DAC offset is the setting that should fix your drift issue. Hood is more experienced with analogue, and I believe he will be of greater help as to why it doesn't solve your issue completely.

Forgot to say. You can measure the output signal from the encoder, if you see it's a good 5V then a line driver may not be necessary.

You can try connecting the signals directly, but usually encoders output weak signals so a line drive would be preferable:

I didn't read all your posts from yesterday, so don't know how you arrived at the conclusion that it is the encoder outputs from the drives that are not functioning, but connecting the encoders directly to the CSMIO should work I think. You will need to use a line driver and supply 5V to the encoders.

Try reset to factory defaults first.

You can save the settings from the working drive to the PC and load them to the other drives.

Did you follow the Delta manual exactly? Did you set parameter P1-01 correctly? I believe it is something with the settings or the wiring of the servo drive.

Can you see the voltage going out of the CSMIO on the diagnostic page?

Please provide a link to the drive you're using.
