What is the best way to destroy the Duet2 motor driver?

Veti

check the wiring on the plug with the duet connector

I don’t have enough experience on Duet, but in general, the best way to kill the driver chip is to connect/disconnect the cable with motor power on. A broken cable or bad connector with intermittent connection equals to disconnection.

@phaedrux Thank you for your reply.
I am getting the following error statement for all motors when I do a home-all.
Warning: Motor phase A may be disconnected as reported by driver 2.
Warning: Motor phase B may be disconnected as reported by driver 2.
The extruder drivers (E0, E1) have not been checked.

I have not set up any macros, so
When I run M98P "config.g", I get an error.

M98P "config.g"
Warning: Macro file  "config.g" not found

Maximum voltage of the motor
Nidec [KV4239/KF4242] is not listed in the current datasheet, so I guessed from the latest version of the model number: 2A.

C17HD2020, no datasheet found, probably: ２A

dc42

@kotuo please measure the resistance of each motor phase, also measure the length of the motors. From those figures we can estimate the motor characteristics by comparing them with other similar motors.

Is this ab existing 3D printer than you have upgraded to Duet? If not, where did the motors come from?

Are you using 12V or 24V power?

kotuo

@dc42 Thank you for your reply.
The motor I'm using is an existing motor.
The power supply is 24v.

Nidec : KV4239 A,0.64Ω　B,0.64 Ω

C17HD02 A, 0.63Ω　B,0.63 Ω

Nidec: KF4242 A,11.6Ω　B,11.6Ω

dc42

@kotuo thanks. What is the length of those motors, not counting the shaft?

The Nidec KF4242 motor has a high per-phase resistance. It is either not suitable for use in a 3D printer, or it needs a low current. If connected to a Duet with the current set too high, the Duet might well give "phase may be disconnected" warnings for the driver it is connected to.

BoA

@kotuo I see disconnection reported only for driver 2 - which drives Z axis. Do You have jumpers on the second Z motor connector?

kotuo

@dc42 Thank you for your reply.
Size of the motor

KV4239
Red line 42mm
Blue line 42mm
Green dot (length without shaft) 38mm

C17
Red line 42.4mm
Blue line 42.4mm
Green point (length excluding shaft) 39mm

KF4242
Red line 43mm
Blue line 43mm
Green line (length excluding shaft) 39mm

kotuo

@boa Thanks for your reply.
I have the jumper on the second Z-axis.

You have the space in the wrong place, should be M98 P"config.g"

kotuo

@phaedrux Thank you very much.
It was a short sentence, so typing it by hand was a big mistake.

@kotuo
are you sure that red and green are one phase?
because normally red and blue are one phase

kotuo

@veti Thank you for pointing this out.
I have no choice but to change the order of the cables because the cables I am using are twisted on the motor side and I do not have the terminals on the motor side.

dc42

@kotuo said in What is the best way to destroy the Duet2 motor driver?:

Green point (length excluding shaft) 39mm

Thanks, it's a 39mm Nema 17 motor then.

To get an idea of the characteristics, go to https://www.omc-stepperonline.com/nema-17-stepper-motor/. Set he unipolar/bipolar filter to Unipolar, the Body Length filter to a range that is close to the motor length e.g. 39 to 40mm, and set the Phase Resistance filter to a value that covers the 11.6 ohm resistance that you measured.

The closest one I found was this one https://www.omc-stepperonline.com/nema-17-stepper-motor/nema-17-bipolar-1-8deg-36ncm-51oz-in-0-85a-5-4v-42x42x39mm-4-wires. It has the same length but the phase resistance is 6.3 ohms.

To account for the different in phase resistance, we can assume that for the same motor size, inductance is proportional to phase resistance, rated current is inversely proportional to the square root of phase resistance, and phase voltage is proportional to the square root of phase resistance. This suggests the following approximate values for that motor:

Inductance 18.4mH
Phase voltage at rated current 7.3
Rated phase current 0.63A

EDIT: is that the Z motor? Is there just one Z motor, or are there two? If there are two, how have you connected them to the Duet?

dc42

@kotuo said in What is the best way to destroy the Duet2 motor driver?:

@veti Thank you for pointing this out.
I have no choice but to change the order of the cables because the cables I am using are twisted on the motor side and I do not have the terminals on the motor side.

There are at least two different phase pinouts used on stepper motors with 6-pin JST connectors. This means that if the cable was not supplied with the motor, the colours may well be wrong, as you have discovered.

kotuo

@dc42 Thank you for your reply.
I am using only one Z axis.

dc42

@kotuo what motor current have you set for the Z axis in your M906 command in config.g? You will need to use 600mA or less with that motor. If you set a much higher current, then you can expect to see those "phase may be disconnected" warnings, because the drivers will be unable to provide the requested current to that high resistance motor.

kotuo

@dc42 Thank you for your reply!
I will lower the motor current to 600 with RRF and upload the zip file to Duet.
