I set up a small 2 phase stepper motor in my PPmac Brick LV. it passed all the tests in the System Setup tool, except it failed the open loop test because it was moving in the opposite dir:
Selected maximum open loop command: 10%
8/13/2015 :1:57 PM - 192.168.0.200, Module - Set Motor : Open loop test with 2.000000% command output
8/13/2015 :1:57 PM - 192.168.0.200, Module - Set Motor : Measured velocities :
8/13/2015 :1:57 PM - 192.168.0.200, Module - Set Motor : Positive velocity: 8960.000000
8/13/2015 :1:57 PM - 192.168.0.200, Module - Set Motor : Negative velocity: -8960.000000
8/13/2015 :1:57 PM - 192.168.0.200, Module - Set Motor : Open loop test with 4.000000% command output
8/13/2015 :1:57 PM - 192.168.0.200, Module - Set Motor : Measured velocities :
8/13/2015 :1:57 PM - 192.168.0.200, Module - Set Motor : Positive velocity: -14848.000000
8/13/2015 :1:57 PM - 192.168.0.200, Module - Set Motor : Negative velocity: 14848.000000
8/13/2015 :1:57 PM - 192.168.0.200, Module - Set Motor : Step 1 - Position feedback slope: Negative Velocity feedback slope: Negative
8/13/2015 :1:57 PM - 192.168.0.200, Module - Set Motor : Step 2 - Position feedback slope: Positive Velocity feedback slope: Positive
8/13/2015 :1:57 PM - 192.168.0.200, Module - Set Motor : Step 3 - Position feedback slope: Negative Velocity feedback slope: Negative
8/13/2015 :1:57 PM - 192.168.0.200, Module - Set Motor : Step 4 - Position feedback slope: Positive Velocity feedback slope: Positive
8/13/2015 :1:57 PM - 192.168.0.200, Module - Set Motor : Feedback direction didn't match the commanded output direction!
8/13/2015 :1:57 PM - 192.168.0.200, Module - Set Motor : Continuing with the setup with current settings can be dangerous.
8/13/2015 :1:57 PM - 192.168.0.200, Module - Set Motor : Please change the direction of feedback and start the test over again.
The motor moved during these tests and during tuning, I could see it move when I did the sine test and the other position loop tunings.
but when I tried to jog the motor the position watch window showed "encoder counts" passing, (this motor has no encoder) the motor did not move, I tried: #2j+, -, =, etc and #2out10, and -10, but nothing made the motor move.
Motor[2].ServoCtrl =1
and i have my brick set to 2 phase mode.
Thanks
