Z motor issues (burning!)
-
Hi, Having some issues with the printer. It's been running pretty good for the last 2+ years (on Duet 2 wifi) and last knight I had the Z axis pins at the board heat up and burn out.
It's been plugged in to Drive 2 With Option A
Can I reverse ZA/ZB plug and pins (maybe without doing further damage?)
Or can E1 be reconfigured to be a Z drive? (I only have one extruder)Oh, I replaced the stepper motor, and a new motor worked for about a few minutes while homing the printer, then just stopped working. New stepper did spin and work, but now it just locks up when a z travel is requested.
Here's the burnt pin (if the pic works?)
-
Remove the plug and examine the pins and the solder joints under the board; if they look ok you can just re-crimp* the terminals and use a new shell/plug.
If the pins or solder joints are also worse for wear you're better off reconfiguring to use the E1 driver after having re-crimped* the terminals and replaced the shell.
(And check the whole wiring for the z axis so see if the wiring or motor has shorted)
*) With new terminals, do not re-use the old.
-
Thanks, I have a second motor for testing.
I examined the pins on the board, they all look good (Still solid solder joints - no discoloration)
I can't seem to get the motor to spin (It just locks up now)I'm trying to reconfigure E1 (Drive 4) to use as the Z axis.
I have added this:
; Custom Configuration
M584 X0 Y1 Z4 E3 ; Set Z motor to drive 4When testing (homing the machine)
X and Y still function correctly.
When its Z axis's turn, the motor just locks up doesn't spin.I did a continuity test on both steppers, and they both test correctly.
-
Post your full config.g and results of M122 and M98 P"config.g" please.
Are you using the same wiring on the new driver?

I don't see anything else in your config that would lead to Z axis problems. Only odd thing I notice is the steps per mm for the Z axis: M92 Z4,816.665. That's oddly specific. How is it arrived at? What is your z axis like? What are the stats on the motors? Is 1200ma the right current for the motor?
-
Thanks for helping.
As for the Z axis steps, I have a belted gear reduction and that is what the math (and testing) worked out to be. (The Z height is very accurate)
My (now fried) stepper was: 17HM19-2004S Rated at 2.0A.
at 1200ma, the stepper produced enough power and stayed cool. (could the lower current do damage?)
I'm now using my older 1.8 stepper to get it going again. (It also worked well at 1200ma)At this point I can only assume its the board. (disclaimer - it is a cloned board but worked great up to this point)
The 0.9 stepper is toast, the replacement 1.8 stepper is good, but only locks up (and wont turn)When using driver #4, do I have to disable driver 2? How? Jumper pins on one/both Z motor outputs?
(Currently have jumpers on ZB, but not ZA - Z stepper plugged into Drive 4)Thanks, That fixed the error. It was an extra line break

don't have to but could be handy to supress any errors see
R-1parameter https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M569_Set_motor_driver_direction_enable_polarity_and_step_pulse_timingAlso the jumpers on the Zb are just there because Za and Zb are in series for dual Z motors. When using just the one motor the jumpers are essentially bypassing Zb in order to get the current to Za. Doesn't affect the other drivers.
-
So weird.
Okay, I have disconnected all my belts for safety sake.
For more testing, I've switched the steppers around (Z to X)
Z motor moves (from the X driver(0) and X doesn't (on Driver 2 or 4 with appropriate config changes) so steppers are good, but the commands doesn't seem to follow on either driver 2 or 4 (just locks up)At this point, I know the motors are good, but for whatever reason driver 2 and driver 4 just wont drive the Z axis anymore (just locks up)
So I'm going to conclude its a bad board as I am lost on how to test further.
I've ordered another clone. At the least this board could (and will) get used for a Sable table (only need XY)
Hopefully the new board will put the printer back in operation. But it'll be down for a month till the board arrives
Thanks again.
-
Please share your current config.g
It doesn't make sense that the X motor will work on the X drive when configured as X, but not when configured as Z.

Here is the current config. (Note the very last line?)

Add
M569 P2 R-1to disable driver2 and keep it from sending any error messages.Now with your Z axis connected to driver 4 (E1) it should be able to be driven if the motor is working.
If you still have problems driving it in this configuration, capture another M122 after trying to move it and post it.

OMG I am such an idiot!
See the comma in that 4,816.666?!?! I guess its recognized a 4 NOT 4,816.666!
So the motor WAS turning, but so slowly I couldn't tell. ( thought it was just locked up)
I thought I would wait for the homing timeout on Z, but it never happened, so upon closer look I was able to tell what was happening...Sorry... I'll go hang my head in shame now!
Thanks!

That's a touch one to spot. Glad you figured it out.
Sending M92 might have been informative.
