Heater fault only after homing

@plasticfactory said in Heater fault only after homing:

..................What information should I provide here to be more helpful? I'd like to point out that this is very sudden and after many hours of use.

If you are absolutely sure that it can't possibly be a wiring issue, then posting your homing files would be a start. Also, your configuration files and a "copy and paste" of the exact error message - or a screen shot. If, as you say this has suddenly started, then details of anything you have changed recently - hardware, firmware or any changes to any of files on the sd card. Finally, an M122 taken immediately after you get the error message might be useful.

plasticfactory

@deckingman I am reasonably certain it could not be a wiring issue, my post above should help give a better idea of what I'm dealing with specifically.

Included in this post is the M122 and home all file. I have not changed anything since using the machine yesterday, and it was working correctly before leaving work then.

Regarding the error, if I simply home the machine there is no error thrown -- the sensors all show "off" and read 2000*. If I make a heater active, and then home the machine I get the error attached at bottom.

@plasticfactory

A reading of 2000 suggests a wiring or configuration error.

And it's possible that when a heater is off the temp sensor is not being accessed and the wiring issue is not detected.

Frederick

plasticfactory

@fcwilt I agree with that as an initial assessment, but given the actual behavior/history it doesn't seem possible that it's a config/wiring error.

As I said above, the heater can turn on, and function with accurate temperature readings. It only gives me this error at very specific and repeatable points.

I'm completely open to being told that I have the wrong take here, but it doesn't make sense to be misconfigured (I haven't changed anything in the previously functioning config) or a wiring error (I've used the machine without changing any wiring/hardware), or even a short (see post #3).

fcwilt

@plasticfactory

Well a reading of 2000 is what you get when there is no temp sensor connected - so I would still suspect a wiring failure if the config used to work and has not changed.

It is not unusual, given that the wiring is flexed during printing, for wiring to fail over time.

Frederick

deckingman

@plasticfactory It might be a hardware fault. Are you able to temporarily connect a standard ntc thermistor?. That would tell you if it's the daughter board or something else.

T3P3Tony

@plasticfactory if the failure is repeatable then it would help to step through the homeall.g and see which line caused the sensors to go from reading correctly to showing 2000. Enter the lines of the macro one at a time until you get the fault.

dc42

@plasticfactory it sounds to me that running the Z motor causes the sensors to report an error. Do the PT100 wires run close to the Z stepper motor wires? Have you checked the crimp connections in the Z motor wiring?

plasticfactory

@dc42 They do not. It's a very large format machine and the Z steppers/wires are about 4' away from the PT100 sensors, though the wires themselves of course get close as things get closer to the Duet board. The bed can also be manipulated (and is during certain parts of the homeall) without the error. It's only those specific points above that it reports the error. All that said, I will check the crimp connections.

@T3P3Tony That makes sense, I'll give it a try.

@deckingman Not easily -- I'm about to try swapping daughter boards as it is the easiest thing that has been suggested so far.

plasticfactory

@dc42 @T3P3Tony I've narrowed it down to what appears to be homing Y, other than starting a new Gcode file. I edited post 3, but:

When homing one by one, Y throws the error as soon as its complete. When running the homeall macro line by line, line 13 (home Y) throws the error. When starting a gcode file, the error is thrown immediately.

plasticfactory

@dc42 @T3P3Tony Any other advice here? I replaced the Y inductive sensors and PT100 boards with no luck.

I'm at swapping the Duet 2 board but was hoping to get a little more advice before going that route.

T3P3Tony

@plasticfactory so if homing Y throws the error which line in the home Y macro causes the error with the sensor?

alankilian

@plasticfactory

Can you disable the Y-axis stepper and push the axis until it homes and see if that causes the error?
Can you press/trigger the Y-axis homing switch and see if that causes the error?

plasticfactory

@t3p3tony said in Heater fault only after homing:
I will do the same for Home Y tomorrow as I did for Home All.

Have you encountered this issue before?

plasticfactory

@alankilian said in Heater fault only after homing:
Good idea, I will try it. What makes it confusing is that it doesn't happen when the Y axis end points trigger. When I home all, it does not trigger the error until the entire process is complete. However, it errors if entered line by line, right at homing Y.

T3P3Tony

@plasticfactory when you say right at homing Y. What is the command you send exactly?

ozgunkilicafsar

@plasticfactory Did you by any chance get any revelation to this issue?

I use a Duet mini 5+ and have been suffering the exact error for the past 2 days and still haven't gotten anywhere. As soon as my extruder stepper drives, both heaters shoot to 2000 for a split second, duet throws fault for both of them, and a second later the 2000 drops back to the assigned heater temp however the "fault" doesn't disappear - hence I can't control the heaters anymore.

I am 100% certain that there is no wire interference between the extruder stepper and the heaters, although I suspect the core issue is that my extruder stepper motor and the cartridge heaters are sitting in the same stainless steel assembly so they are mechanically in contact. I shielded my heaters with kapton tape for electrical insulation (heaters are stainless steel) but still I get the same error.

The only time everything works without an error is when I dismantle the extruder stepper from the assembly, while still connected to duet and then I get no error.
