  1. I have also been considering similar problems. I would like to know if it is possible to avoid contention in position-capture applications by using the serial and ethernet ports simultaneously: 1) "Slow control" (position commands and status) over the serial port, and 2) "Position-capture data transfer" over the ethernet port It is my understanding that the serial and ethernet ports are independently serviced by the PMAC, so contention may be avoided in this fashion. Is this sensible? -- dc
  2. I think my tuning is ok. Step and ramp tuning results for one of the problematic axes are here I've tried adjusting velocity and acceleration, neither of which was successful. But, I will look into the adaptive control scheme you suggested (gain scheduling). I've also swapped drives between fully functional and problematic axes, and the problem follows the stage, not the drive. At this point, I'm fairly convinced it is a mechanical problem...
  3. I have an piezo motor application that is displaying problematic behavior under closed-loop control for some (not all) axes. The system is a Geobrick LV (NSLS-II) outputting step/direction to six MiCos PMC-100, which drive nanopositioner stages (stick-slip piezo). Feedback is via a MicroE incremental linear encoders ( 0.005 um resolution). I myopically tuned all 6 axes of this system for small moves (0.25-5 um), as that is how it is used in practice. On further investigation, 3 of the 6 axes trip on fatal following error for longer moves, but only in one direction (Ixx11 = 32000) . The other direction is fine. The problematic axes trip on this error a fraction of a second after a commanded move (J+/J-, etc), regardless of Ixx22 setting (jog speed). Gravity is not an issue here as one of two of the vertical stages works fine in closed-loop. Is there any way to tune for this type of behavior? I'm kinda at a loss here... Thanks.
  4. Does the Geobrick LV support having its network address assigned via DHCP or BOOTP? Or is it static assignment only via the "Configure Ethernet 100 BaseT" utility? There is a "Reg DHCP" button in this utility that, to me, hints DHCP config is possible, but I don't know the procedure. -- dc
