JazzCNC, what process do you use to PID tune the motors?
Do you use the 'auto tune' feature in the plugin config?

In all honesty I've very little experience with IP-A or Analog drives or motors with Resolvers which will make a difference to PID setup.
My motors are Brushed DC with Tacho's and Real Encoders which makes a difference to your setup. My drives PID was set up already for the Velocity/Current and the IP-A Autotune did a good Job with position so little to no tweaking required.
I would think that because your drives where already setup then you'll be in a similar position with Velocity/Current setup in the drive so using the Auto tune in IP-A would get you close. Then it's just a case of playing with IP-A PID settings to get nice stable smooth movement.

Thanks. Considering the mill was working before, the drives should be setup correctly. The 'output' from the drive is as if it was an encoder. The drive takes the resolver input and converts it to encoder type for the controller.
I have a question too around cabling whilst I try and find out what could cause any funny issues.
I am using Cat 5 cable for the encoder and ref signals. So, its shielded, its 8 core + the outer core.
The drawings I have show that the -10 to +10V run in their own shield. Currently I am sharing this common cable for - 10 to + 10 plus the encoder feedback. Is this a problem? I dont mind splitting them but dont want to buy cable I dont need.
Thanks

Yes agreed but you'll still need to tune the Controller for position so use the IP-A Autotune and tweak settings if motors are twitchy etc..
Yes I'd separate them.
Also make sure your Grounding is correct and all Shields going to Star Ground point.!Last edited by JAZZCNC; 22-06-2015 at 01:56 PM.

Neutral is not earth In the UK the earth is bonded to the neutral in most cases but not always.
The ground in your case is a central point where all the screens and ground are connected together in one place (star point) and that point in connected to the general earth connection. This is to try and stop ground loops. ..Clive
