Hi,
I have a XYZ table that uses brushed motors that is working nicely, but I want to add another (rotary, stepper motor) axis and I need help setting it up.
I believe I have all the right hardware, which consists of:
- NEMA 23HD450Y-31A6 stepper motor
- Single Axis 4A TB6600 Hybrid Stepper Motor Driver
- Meanwell S-50-12 12v power supply
- Accessory 8D breakout board with Option 2A V-F converter
- 8-axis PMAC-PCI v105B
- PEWin32Pro2 v4.4.0.0 running on Windows XP
At present the terminal says "Communication Established to PMAC-0" but I am unsure what parameters to set and the 500+pg manual looks pretty daunting.
Thanks in advance.
Transfer cfg file PMAC Lite to PMAC PCI

I assumed that I could copy the .cfg file from my 4-axis pmac to my 8 axis one and my channels 1-4 would work the same. This post suggests it should:

Unfortunately it doesn't. As I move the motors by hand I see a correct change in position but when using the jog ribbon I can just feel an occasional small pulse, esp when I hit the Kill All button. Programs don't run at all.
What parameters do you think need changing?
