Trying to set up position control mode

DRO updates to the inputed position about a second after .1 inches is inputted and the motor continues after that. The DRO doesn't update again until another input is entered. 

OK so that may still be an electrical/wiring  issue

(if the DRO does not move but the motors move)



 

Okay, is there a way to verify that it is an electrical/wiring issue?

Might look at the step pulse train with an oscilloscope.

Also is it possible the servo drive is not set to position mode?
 

What should I be looking at with the oscilloscope? I have checked that our signal looks like it is supposed to and when I press the continuous jog, it stops about when I release the continuous jog and the motor keeps spinning.

We went through a back and forth with Yaskawa before this to confirm it is in position mode, because that was our first thought. What I don't really understand is how the 7i95 board knows it is supposed to generate position based step generation when we are sending it velocity commands? 

If the motor keeps turning without step pulses, this is a root of the problem
and there's nothing on the LinuxCNC/7I95 side that can fix this.

It really sounds like the drive is in velocity mode.

Okay, we will try to confirm that it is our servopack.

Does anybody have experience with position control mode on the SGDH-10AE or another Yaskawa sigma II series servopack?
