Tested today, but not very conclusive I'm afraid.

Default master branch.
Jog while running Gcode: Doesn't allow me.
First time running gcode, press stop. While in Auto mode spin the wheel: It crashes see screen dump below.
After restart and retry this several times: It works, it switches to Man and moves in Z.

With loops=10, it always works, at least the say five times I tried so maybe not conclusive.
I can continue with this setting to see if it fails later.
 
I always get this "assert" error when it fails.

Soooo, this new frame makes the old one look like a carvera. Sorta shocking. Hurry up with that jerk limiting.....

 

Thanks, Rodw, looks great! 
I really need a bigger faster 3d printer, my Elegoo Neptune Max gantry type printer doesn't always fit my projects... I'm inspired by an FLSUN S1 that I watched printing one day. It runs delta kinematics, and it runs so fast the print head is just a blur. Pretty much sounds like a clothes washer in fast spin cycle when it's printing.

I'm playing around with dimensions a bit. In my 3d sketch, the linear rails are 2000mm long and will be attached to the steel frame (not shown). The round build plate at the bottom is 750mm diameter. The delta legs carrying the print head will likely be aluminum round tube.

It will be enclosed and heated, build plate will also be heated. The three delta motors will be up on top outside the heated enclosure, driving the carriages up and down via gear belts.

The door will be something like polycarbonate. Two thirds of the sides will be sheet metal heavy enough so it doesn't sound like a tin can, that steel shell will probably be the main frame. One third of the sides will be the clear door spanning most of the distance between two rails.

I do not yet have any mass measurements for calculating speeds with. I will be happy if I can make it go faster than my Elegoo printer. I don't expect to win any races with that FLSUN S1, that thing looked like its delta legs might be carbon fiber.

According to downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ it has been down for everyone a few times lately.

If you use shielded tips so the bare electrode does not connect the material, I would use a second THCAD for material probing.
ONe user here stated it was crazy fast and saved a lot of time...

There you go. I've spent a few hours today updating this to add cutting forces as it was initially built for plasma table design.I don't know what kind of machine you are planning but I have put it beside my drive X (yours is Y, Z ignore.)This is based on the work energy method and assumes a 3 second cut with a 1% trapezoidal profile. eg 1% accel,  (98%) cruising and 1% decell at a cut speed of 5000 m per minute. 150 N cutting forces. Assumes a 45mm dia pinion (40 tooth Mod 1.25 gear) with 5:1 gearbox they don't seem to make a 30mm (20 tooth) pinion for a 14mm dia output shast which is the normal  one found on a planetary gearbox.It draws a trapezoid profile of the test cut.I almost left your power supply at 24 volts as it actually would do the job for those specs. I put a derating to 24v in and it shows no reduction. But it halves the available power to the same as my 2 amp motor @ 48v. So the sheet goes through all of the physical power and torque requirements

We calculate motor Average power and RMS power. I would use Average power with cutting forces. This number must be less than the available power  lists further down

So we can see that your drive under these conditions only needs 2 amps RMS at 22 volts. Further up there is a magic ratio, the System to Rotor Inertia Ratio. It should be 1:1 but not exceed it. In your case, its massively oversized for my project. And so is mine but the price is right.

Finally, we calculate the ambient heat rise. It must not exceed the drive's rating which is usually around 130 deg C when the insulation could melt. SO you can see that is not an issue and that 100deg C is usually safe.

So all in all both motors simply idle and will never be called upon to exceed their available power at which point you could loose straps. SInsummary, they can run 24/7 without the risk of loosing position!

It's down for me as well regularly... in the USA.

QtPlasmaC updates - Master (v2.10):

• refactor button interlocking
• fix laser button state if bounds error during laser dry run

There is some mismatch with the numbering.
The pattern is lcec.<master idx>.<slave idx>.halPinName
master idx is always 0 for you. Slave idx is 0-3 in ethercat-conf.xml
but 3-6 in the hal file. They must agree.
Go through the hal file and compare with ethercat-conf.xml so you
refer to what you intend to.

Oh, wait! There is the name="D1" field used. Then the hal pin is called lcec.0.D1.halPinName.
With that info, rename the lcec variables in the hal file. D1, D2, D3 etc.
Many of us use a descriptive name like X instead of D1 and so on.

I'll add the missing pictures / manuals here since i could only attach 8 to the original post.

Ich habe es heute getestet, denn das Forum war wie so oft nicht erreichbar. Es war auch nicht vom Handy oder Tablet-PC aus erreichbar! 

So i changed that and it still shows the same thing

Try just changing #<_inc> to 28.8 degrees (and see what the preview looks like)
That's 360 / 12.5 though it sounds a bit too large without testing, and I don't know what it will do at 120.
(Sorry, not at a LinuxCNC machine at the moment to test it)

I found some specs for my LC60HS112 motors in the catalog:
model: LC60HS112
step angle 1.8
holding torque 4.0NM
rated current 4.0A
phase resistance 1.56 ohms
phase inductance 3.9 mH
rotor inertia 1200 g.cm2
motor weight 1.807 Kg
shaft dia. 8mm

Here are details on my motors that don't match the above catalog specs to some degree:
motor weight 1.79 Kg
shaft dia. 10mm

I messaged Lichuan to see what they say.
 

The first surprise I see is in the INI file where all the P, I and D parameters are set to zero.

Try increasing P to see if that helps.
(You can do this interactively in Halshow, though that won't save to the INI file)

linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man1/emccalib.1.html will save to the INI and is a menu option in the Axis GUI. I don't know if there is a way to run it from the other GUIs.
