Hi Justen:
The LED's may not light, if noise triggers an estop, then it can be very fast. Check the History button to see if its indicating an Estop or External Estop. If so, then there is a setting called "Debounce" in the config/logic. Set it to 2000 to see if it helps.
Thanks,
Art

Thanks for the reply Art,
When the program E Stops there are no limit led lit at all if I
hit reset the program will run again. I have run the ocx driver test
a number of times but I must not be the sharpest knife in the drawer
as i dont get the idea of it at all. When I run the test it runs
fine and reports that the test is finished Is there a pictorial
example somewhere of what a good waveform looks like so i can
compare? The frequency remains fairly constant throughout the test ie
23 600 +or -.
Sorry to be a pain in the %$#@ you must have answered thousands of
questions like this before.
Thankyou very much, Justen
Hi Junsten:
When it Estops, do you get a limit switch error? As to the speed,
make sure
you run the drivertest.exe program and see that its got a good
waveform.
Thanks,
