dhidas Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hello, I am using direct microstepping on #1 of a GeoBrick LV and wish to use the position compare functionality as a trigger of sorts (in this case step as there is no encoder). I setup #5 as a virtual motor following the instructions for PFM so that I could use the position compare on #5 when it is following #1. The problem I am currently having is that #5 lags significantly behind #1 at higher speeds. I tried setting program acceleration and velocity to high values, the s-curve and accl-times to very small values for #5, and upped the PFM frequency, but I see no change in the amount of following error. Is there any other way to make #5 more synchronized with #1? Thanks for your help, -Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Naddaf Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Can you jog #5 at the desired speed? If not what is the speed you get with #5O50 for example? What settings did you use for motor #5 (including Gate settings)? You should be able to set up a virtual PFM motor to run much faster than an actual motor. The driving clocks are PFM and encoder sampling frequency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
