Fixing Smart serial errors. was created by cmorley
I am running a STBML drive using a 7i92/7i76 combo.
When running the motor fast the driv edrops out because of SS errors.

The computer has latency of about 50000.
The cable is about feet long.

Rene has suggested that i should check power and that some daugther boards need another capacitor added.
I am asking for some process of how to track done what the problem is and how to fix it.
This is a test rig at the moment, so is pretty easy to test/change things.
Once I figure it all out, i will be putting a STMBL on big lathe.

Thanks
Chris M

I have 3 Granite Devices Argon drives on a Hurco BMC20 that use something similar to STBML, they also produce huge amounts of interference as soon as enabled, disconnecting the connection to the computer used to program them. Even with all the EMI filters and ferrite cores on the motor wires sometimes it looses connection.
Worth noting is that the Linuxcnc computer is wired to a 7i92 through a cheap 10 meter UTP cable and it never lost connection. This is a testament to the quality of Mesa products.
Ferrite cores on the motor wires at the drive, ferrite core on the comm cable, and a good EMI filter does the job.

I am using a little bit older master branch.

Looks like a bad noise issue. I would first update the 7I92 firmware to make sure it has the UART noise filter feature, if that doesn't help, I would try tommylight's suggestions.

Ok I'll look into updating the 7i92 - I might have already at one point quite awhile ago.
I'll add that if i run the motor under 800 rpm it doesn't trip but over that it does.
Thank you for the ideas I will update when I get a chance.
