Power PMAC PID tuning problem

Hi,

I’m using Power PMAC and I encountered a problem those days——when I open the tuning tool panel of IDE，a error massage will occur in the “Motor status”area which is in the bottom of tuning tool panel and the “do a move”option is grey，in another words，it will take no action if I click “do a move”option.

Is there anything wrong with my setup of motors or ACC24-2A card? Why the error massage is“hardware”?I marked the problem in the file attach to this text.

Best Regards.

This indicates you are on one of the hardware limits - the word limit appears to be missing in your version. What version of the IDE are you running?

 

The motor status window will indicate which one you are on as will the status bits:

Motor[x].MinusLimit

Motor[x].PlusLimit

The missing characters are due to the Windows font size you currently have.

Thank you so much！

According to your instructions，I have solved this problem by setting Motor[x].MinusLimit=0.

The version of the IDE we are running is 1.5.0.21.It does miss characters in some areas，at the same time，some textboxs that for user's inputs is covered by the characters in the panel.I try adjusting Windows font size，fortunately，problems above still exist.

by setting Motor[x].pLimitS=0 not Motor[x].MinusLimit=0 I mentioned

you don't have any motors listed on the left. If you set say I100=1 it may list a motor and then enable the step button???

Thanks,but actually it was because the status bit of Hardware PlusLimit had been set that disabled the motor move.

The picture I attached was just to describe my problems,however,I enabled the motor when I tuned its PID.what's more,we are now using PowerPMAC and it recommends to adop Motor[1].ServoCtr=1 instead I100=1 to activate Motor[1],ha-ha
