Tool Board Heater Tuning Leading To Faults

@fcwilt Me too, but I've been digging
When I'm faced with something like this I resort to a process of elimination, thus my suggestion to configure just one heater to see if it changes anything.

@fcwilt I've commented out all heaters except H2, autotuning now.
"M308 S2 P"21.temp0" Y"pt1000" A"Ex1"
M950 H2 C"21.out0" T2 ; Heater for extruder out tool 1
M307 H2 R2.050 C309.100:130.600 D6.20 S1.00 V24.3 B0
M570 H2 P10 T25 S0.1" -

At some point did you verify that each tool board is actually at the address you are using?

@fcwilt Yes, toolboards are at the addresses assigned
-
Can you send M98 P"config.g" to check for any syntax errors?
I'd also suggest generating a basic config using the online tool and trying with that.
Perhaps a photo of the hotend itself my give us some clues.

I've got a test setup on my workbench but it only has one tool board connected and it works fine.
Perhaps there is some as yet undiscovered firmware problem that only manifests with multiple tool boards.

boom, fault at 70c
It's most commonly faulting at 70c, which is when my hotend cooling fan is enabled

@kevinmar said in Tool Board Heater Tuning Leading To Faults:
M501 ; Load config-override.g
Does that M307 line match what gets loaded by config-override?
-
@phaedrux always
-
And if you execute M98 P"config.g" does it show any errors?
If you delete config-override.g completely and remove the M307 line entirely from config.g, reboot the board and tune from scratch and save with M500 does it produce the same M307 line?

Drat.
Does the fault occur when the temp is rising? peaked? dropping?
Did you leave all the tool boards connected?
-
@fcwilt All boards connected, happens ALWAYS when heating up. Never reaches peak or anything

But it seems to be happening when the cooling fan kicks in?
Have you changed the temp of the cooling fan to see if the fault tracks that temp?
How about adding a M570 for that heater and increase the default P parameter value (5) to something like 30.
Frederick
-
@fcwilt Yeah, lowered the fan temp to 50, still faulted at about 78C.
M750 is at P10, will raise to 30

I'm interested to see which parameters affect when the fault occurs.
It seems we don't know exactly what condition is occurring that is triggering the fault.
Does a M122 report anything related to the fault?

I'd still like to see a photo of the hotend in case there is something obvious.

Perhaps you know the answer to this question.
He posted a screen shot showing 3 heaters displaying a fault.
Does a single heater faulting cause all heaters to display a fault or did all three heaters have to fault at the same time?
Frederick

@phaedrux Ask and you shall receive
-
@fcwilt It's a printer with 4 tools, just so happened that the 4th tool continued heating to ~120C before faulting (different M307 parameters). All 4 tools have the issue
