Motor phase disconnected problem?
-
so you swapped the wiring. can you swap the motor to make sure its not the motor?
-
It is 3 different motors that are all giving me the message but I can swap the motors if that would make it easier to diagnose?
-
so far you have only shown the error message about phase A on driver 1.
does it happen with all phases on all drivers?
-
I was also getting the error message on the Z axis motors but that error message is random and hasn't happened again.The Y axis does it everytime.
-
The motors attempt to move when using DWC but they stutter shaking back and forth. I attempted raising the voltages slightly but it made no difference.

Motor current (mA) - X:1500, Y:1500, Z:1500, E:1200:1200, idle factor 30%M906 X1200 Y1200 Z1200 E1200 I30 ; Set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per cent
this does not match
but you have a M501
so please post your overwrite.

Common reasons for this:
- Motors not phased correctly. This is serious as it can cause the drivers to be damaged. So check that the motor phases are connected correctly first.
- Bad crimp connection in the motor wires, so that only one phase is being energised.
- Speed and/or acceleration set too high, bearing in mind the steps/mm (higher steps/mm => lower accelerations and speeds possible).
- Weak PSU, so that the voltage drops below 10V when the motors draw current.
- Blown stepper driver.
- Blown motor.

@veti Here is the override and the current was changed to 1500 to test it is set at 1200 usually.
@dc42 The motors have been working just fine for a while with that original harness and the harness has since been replaced.The printer has a genuine Meanwell 450watt 12v psu and it only fluctuates .02 volts.Here are the current motor settings for what I have set for speed.

M84 S30 ; Set idle timeoutI can check the motor but how would I check for a blown driver and what would cause that to happen all of a sudden?
-
@siblues you can check to see if it's a driver by swapping the motors plugged into a working axis with the not working one. Drivers can get blown when wiring develops intermittent faults in a single phase.

I had some motors on the way so I tried what Tony mentioned and it was a bad motor.
