Following errors

Yes, sounds like the drives or analog +-10V commands are disabled somehow

Hello, sorry for the delayed response. I am not based at this site and only just got back to the machine.The e stop seems to be working ok because I get the notification on the HMI when I press it in and I get error "external estop is set, could not change state" .There are 2 limit switches that also seem to be ok because i get a small symbol show up on the HMI when I press them

There are 2 breakers in the back which seem ok..there is a fuse which is good.

Photos attached of estop in and estop out, plus the limit switch symbol:   photos.app.goo.gl/tjetB8aMhgUxSHuj6

if anyone could shed some light on what to check next I would be grateful

Please ignore the above.... I found another enclosure with a popped breaker. The thing runs again now.

So I'm now back at the original reported problem of it randomly stopping for X axis following error which I will try and reproduce again tomorrow.

Meanwhile, does anyone have any thoughts on what it may be?

was this ever resolved? one of the youtubers I watch is currently having a similar problem with a different make of mill but with the same "following" error..

You mean RotarySMP ?

Yes its resolved but its a process, not a simple switch. My video shows  best practice for PREEMPT_RT tuning which should resolve following errors.
