They are rotary encoders on the servos with 2000 lines per revolution. The leadscrew has 5 mm pitch. So I have an input scale of 1600 set.
Output scale is 208.333 for max rpm 2500 rpm.
Gain on the encoders is 250 rpm / V
Machine units are mm

Acceleration of the drives is 100 times higher than on linuxcnc. Filter of the drives is at 20 ms.

I pull sections off ini and Hal tomorrow.
I think there is a small error I am just to blind to see

A 20 ms filter time constant on analog in is _way_ too long

Thanks, I made a mistake here it 20 unite, so 2 ms
Smallest I can go is 0.2 ms
Should I go as small as possible?

Yes, I would use the minimum filtering as the more delay, the lower the stable P term will be.

Other things:

1. The maximum velocity for a joint must be lower than the velocity at 10V
(say 80 to 90 % of the velocity at 10V) This is because there must be "headroom"
for the PID to operate when moving at full machine speeds.

2. The FF1 term should be close to 1.0 _if_ the output scale is the velocity at 10V

I Adjusted accordingly, but still the vibration.
So I bypassed the PID system:

net motor.00.bypass    joint.0.motor-pos-cmd => hm2_7i97.0.pwmgen.00.value

I know now I don't have any real control, but I still have the oscillating issue. So I guess it is my wiring and the oscillation might be 50 Hz...
There are no power cables running parallel to the analog cables, but they are unshielded twisted pair for 500mm.
was no issue on the other machines.
 

1. sounds reasonable usually I go down in the end anyway or never use the max speed.

2. thanks I need to reread the tutorial

Make a new config, set P at 0, enable the drives from LinuxCNC.
Do the motors still vibrate?
Do the motors move slowly in one direction?

Yes they do vibrate still.
Drift I could compensate in the drives. but there is almost none.

Sounds like maybe a grounding/input connection issue.

Drift compensation is not terribly important as the drives should
never be enabled when the feedback loop is not closed.
(and a small offset causes minimal error)

Do the motors have Tacho Geber ?
Is it wired to the drives?
-
If yes, then most probably grounding/shielding/wiring as PCW mentioned.

No Tacho (analog) signal from the motor to the drives, they use 2000 line encoders.
And when I use internal signals from the drives they run smoothly. Even with a potentiometer test setup from a 9v battery using another connection, No oscillation.
What I didn’t check was disconnecting the analog wire from the mesa board and have just the open wire or use the battery and the cables running to the mesa board.
