Printing problem duet fw config bad or Siemens drivers bad
-
@createc3d post your config
-
@createc3d it may be that the drivers need slower timings than the default ones provided by the 1XD boards. Please post a link to the datasheet for those drivers, along with your config.g file.

@createc3d I was unable to find the parameters required in the document you linked to. The parameters needed are:
Minimum step pulse width
Minimum step pulse interval
Required setup time from change in direction signal to leading edge of step pulse
Required hold time from trailing edge of step pulse to change in direction signalCurrently you have set all of these to 2.7 microseconds. I suspect that at least one of them needs to be increased.
Please upgrade to firmware 3.4.0 if you are not already using it.

@dc42 I asked Siemens about the data needed and the only thing they can say is this:
They use RS 485 to receive pulses at a máximum frecuency of 1MHz...
They don't tell us anything about "ms" or anything else.
We may increase randomly to see if it works fine?
-
@createc3d in your M569 commands I suggest you try this T parameter:
T2.5:2.5:5:5
If that works, try reducing the last value to zero. It's usually the third value that needs to be increased when there are issues with direction changes.

@dc42 Ok, we'll try next week and let you know, because the machine is in other company and can't go to check today.
Thank you.
-
@dc42 hello, we've been testing and it's a bit better but still it's not good.
We tried with T2.5:2.5:5:5 but it was not better.
Then with T2.5:2.5:5:0 was a little improvement.
Then we tried increasing the third value to 10, 20... up to 100 but no change, same results.
We also tried without the T parameter and values and the results was the same that T2.5:2.5:5:0.
Can we try anything else?
-
@createc3d try T5:5:10:10
-
@jay_s_uk Hello, still is not doing it right
-
@createc3d if you send M569 P41.0 and similarly for the CAN addresses of the other 1XD boards, does it report the correct T values that you used? Some of them will be rounded up to the next multiple of 1.33us.
If you send M98 P"config.g" are there any error messages?

PS have you checked for loose pulleys etc.? That pattern of a straight line segment appearing in what should be a circle is characteristic of a large amount of backlash.

@dc42 Hello, sorry for delay, here with easter week we didn't have the possibility to go to the place where the machine is installed until today.
This is the result of M98 P"config.g"
P40 and P41 are X and Y axis, P42 is not in use at the moment and P43 is Z axis.
And config file is now:

@dc42 we have a person now checking all mechanics in case there's some problem with it also.
-
@createc3d another test you can do is to approach a particular point (say X=100) from one direction (e.g. from X50) and then from the other (e.g. X150) and check whether the print head goes to exactly the same place in both cases.

@dc42 I'm going to tell the people with the machine to do this test, but I think in linear movement the machine has no problem.
About the information before, why is different the step timming in the drivers if we have in config.g the same for all of them?
-
@dc42 this test was fine... but we tried to print two lines, one with 45 degrees and other with 3 degrees... the 45º line was drawn ok, but the 3º line the machine only moves in X axis... the Y was not moving... any ideas?
