motor phase A may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 0 1 2

  • fredvm

    Hi!

    I keep on getting this warning during calibration & print:

    Warning: motor phase A may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 0 1 2

    I have been printing for a long time without any issues and this came out of nowhere.
    I notice my prints have been shifting too. After reading up on the forum I'm thinking that my stepper driver is faulty.

    M122 returns:

    Can anyone please help me out or confirm the problem?

    Thank you!

    check for bad crimps on the stepper cables using a multimeter.

    Have you changed the motor driver stealthChop settings recently? What M569 commands do you have in config.g?

  • Veti

    it does not look like a duet maestro. so no stealthchop.

    Thank you for your swift response!

    this is what i got:

    ; Axis and motor configuration
    M569 P0 S1 ; Drive 0 goes forwards
    M569 P1 S1 ; Drive 1 goes forwards
    M569 P2 S1 ; Drive 2 goes forwards
    M569 P3 S1 ; Drive 3 goes forwards
    M569 P4 S0 ; Drive 4 goes forwards

    I didn't change any drivers. Didn't do anything really. I've printed 50+ hours in this configuration and it popped up out of nowhere seemingly. I did do an update after the problem first started occuring.

    Yes, it's not a Duet Meastro. It's a Duet 2 Wifi ( sorry forgot to mention that ).

    I'll check for the crimping on the connectors.

    It's odd that you are getting that error on 3 separate drivers. Is it always phase A? What is the motor specification?

    I'm running some test calibrations and it's not only phase A

    Do the warnings appear only when you run the motors at high speeds? What are your axis steps/mm?

    No, i don't think so. I'm running at an avereage speed of 45 mm/s.

    Your M350 is missing a value for Z and your M92 is missing a value for E

    wow, thanks for noticing that!
    I'll add the right values and see what happens.

    Your M350 is missing a value for Z and your M92 is missing a value for E

    Just for the sake of completeness: default value for M350 is 16x interpolated (all axes) and default for M92 Ennn is 420 (X, Y=80 and Z=4000).

    not 400?

    Here's the responsible part of Configuration.h

    constexpr float DefaultXYDriveStepsPerUnit = 80.0;		// steps/mm
constexpr float DefaultZDriveStepsPerUnit = 4000.0;
constexpr float DefaultEDriveStepsPerUnit = 420.0;

    i would say that might be an oversight. 400 is way more common than 4000. I dont even know how you would get that.

    M5 threaded rod with a lead of 0.8mm. I think this was the default in Mendel printers - and Adrian Bowyer the original author of RRF is also the creator of that printer. I guess that setting stuck since. 😄

    @wilriker Having used a printer with 0.8mm M5 threaded rod I can say that it actually worked quite well. So long as the rods were straight and the threads of the rod and nuts held out. Proper lubrication was a must. Those things would get hot during a long Z axis move.
