very slow to position a servo motor with 8i20 was created by clematites93
Hi all,
Quick reminder I have a 7i43 + 7i52 + 8i20 and a used servo motor, as I stated in my last post I haven't the technical information of the motor.
After several tests I managed to get the following details about it:
With this setup I'm trying to pilot a table, I'm doing small moves of 5mm.
For the very first move after homing the machine and every first move after changing the direction, I'm seeing the following behavior, the machine reach 4.9mm at the specified speed, and then very slowly moves to final position, the resulting error is quite acceptable (3/100) but really the speed is not.
But also for any subsequent move it seems that the machine is able to reach the final position at the specified speed with good precision (2/100).
I don't think that the problem is due to the mechanical backslash, because this exact same table when used with a step motor deliver a good precision (2/100 sur 100mm with a backslash of +/- 1/100).
I tried to change the values of the P, I and D and also the bldc.0.encoderoffset without success.
I'd like to remind that I got from Mesa a custom firmware due to my control chain.
Any clue on how to fix this ?

- 6 poles

I am surprised by the poles -6 / scale 1000 but it is actually the same, in effect, as poles 6 / scale -1000
I wonder if what you are seeing is the system running at reduced current until it sees the first encoder index?
Can you look at (halscope, halmeter) bldc.0.in-type to see if the increase in speed is due to the bldc component switching from homing mode to sinusoidal mode?
I am a bit confused by your two HAL files, there is a lot commented out in one, but then also a lot duplicated. How is your bldc.0.init pin driven?

The two configuration files are the same, the first one is the one that I use.
But there is a lot of comments related to my journey with linuxcnc and servo motors. So I ran grep -vE '^#' | sed '/^$/d' to remove all the comments and empty lines.
Regarding the bldc.0.init, here is the related line in the HAL file:
net after-estop-touch iocontrol.0.user-enable-out => bldc.0.init # demarrage du composant HAL BLDC / start of bldc

Does bldc.0.in-type shoe different values in the slow and normal modes?

Hello Andy,
So I have the following values for bldc.0.in-type:
* before homing 12
* after homing 2
The motor is unknown, I'm supplying 160V but it could be still underpowered.
I'm attaching the screenshot of halscope

So, the slow-move and the fast-move variants are both with the in-type at 2?

Hello,
Yes I checked that the value stays at 2 in both situations.

If it isn't a change in state of the bldc component and the PID parameters are not being changed then I have no ideas left.

I'm starting to wonder if this couldn't be related to wrong PID values ?
I tried one more time to tweak P and I without any improvements.

Not if it is sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
You need to figure out what is different when it is fast to when it is slow. There must be something.
