Greetings; I can do 48.7 IPM all day, either direction, but one cliock faster on the jog speed, to 51 IPM and I have a following error in about 3/8" of movement, independant of the direction. Next step up on the slider is about 53.x IPM, gives a following error in about 3/16" of motion.
The step timings are: dir preset 6000 Step_len 3000 Step_space 3000 dir hold, 6000 Worst case, 18 u-s to do a dir reverse and one step then revert the dir. 12 u-s for dir_setup+dir_hold, and 6 more for the step=18. Grabbing a copy of kcalc, enter 18 as .000018, do a 1/x to get the max freq=55,555.5555555555556 or a but over 55 kilohertz. Drive claims it can do 200 kilohertz. driver is set for /8 microsrepping. Screw is a 16x5mm. So how fast can it go when the pulses are at 200 KHz? FWIW, this tripping of the following error was taking place at the exact same speed ( give or take a couple percent ) with the previous driver & motor which was set for a /64, and the same step timeings and this one is set /8, so no way can I convince myself the problem is the maximum step rate the 5i25's stepgen can do, or that the driver can eat and be happy. I have fiddled with the ini files maxvels, and maxaccels, without a measureable effect. So where is the next place to look for my following error, which FWIW, is at 48.7 IPM nothing but noise with the exponent never dropping below +-EE-06 but mostly in the +-EE-12 range? Thanks all.
