Thanks for the response. Read the document, updated the .ini file and then strange things began to happen.
I am testing with one axis on the machine. In the 'Axis' GUI I select the machine axis and click on home. The axis commences to move, it then sits there with the motor whisltling and after some time the motor moves and then stops. I conclude that during the whistling phase the signals to the motor driver are directing the motor to work at a speed beyond it's capability. This appears to be borne out by observing the display on the Axis GUI. When homing the 'Vel' (velocity) display indicates 6000. When performing a continuous jog it displays 290. The maximum velocity configured for the axis is 50 mm per second, maximum acceleration is 20 mm per second. The 'home search velocity' is set to 50 mm per second. I can find no explanation for what units the 'Vel' display utilises. Any ideas what the 290 and 6000 represent???? Any suggestions on how to control the 'home search velocity'???
