Bridgeport Manual to CNC conversion...

It sounds like the drive is enabled, but not under closed loop control, so it's creeping until a following error gets triggered.

The drive shouldn't be getting enabled until the servo loop is active, and able to control things.

Hmm, I followed the same wiring style as the other axes, the drives all enable together from one signal.

Is that the loop between the servo and controller?

Maybe check the connections in the servo cable, that was a pre-made one that came with the motor and controller.

Is the +/-10 connected correctly, and the drive configured to use the correct analogue input?
And is the CSMIO configured to use the correct channel?

[Davek0974]

AFIK yes, i'll double-check the setup tomorrow night.

I'm setting up as the C axis or channel 5 on the CSMIO.

I'll try disconnecting the -10/0/10v lines to see if creeps on its own.

Kudos to you - i had the encoder on C axis but analogue on A axis :)

Its running now, needs more tuning as it oscillates when it stops after homing.

Not sure what axis is best, the 2010 screen set seems to be set for XYZA but a good friend advised C axis was more aligned with the Z axis.

At least its alive :)
