[3.01RC10+1][DSF 2.1.2] Individual Z motors don't stop together
-
I have a setup with two Z steppers that have individual endstops. They home together, stop individually, then the right Z stepper is addressed as W alone to apply some correction (endstops are not 100% at same height) and then W is hidden again.
Everything works as normal except for one scenario (that never happens while regular using):
If I command Z axis to make a very long move (I think at least 200mm) at a commanded speed that exceeds the configured maximum speed then the right stepper will overshoot.config.g; General preferences G90 ; Send absolute coordinates...

- Home Z
G0 Z200 F1501(top speed set at 1500mm/min)- or when at
Z200:G0 Z0 F1501
then the right stepper will overshoot a few mm.
It works with all speeds up to 1500mm/min correctly and it works with shorter moves correctly.

@wilriker Long shot - is there any binding or friction on one of the Z screws? Maybe the effective torque is dropping more on one motor than the other at higher speeds so the left one is missing some steps that the right one isn't. Try not reducing the motor currents to 50% and see if that makes any difference.

Are you absolutely certain? What happens if you increase the max Z (and W if you like) speeds to 1501 in the M203 command?
Does reducing the Z acceleration in M201 make any difference?
One other test please: before the 200mm long move, please send M584 P4, read off the Z and W coordinates, then send M583 P3 again. Then do the 200mm move. Then repeat the M584 commands to get the new W and Z coordinates. Check that the error has occurred, and report the old and new values here.

@deckingman Hey Ian, it does not appear while homing. And once it moved out of position near Z max it will rehome at 50% current without any problem. This clearly is not mechanical but firmware.

I have never been able to reproduce it with either shorter moves or speeds up to configured
M203value.
I will try increasingM203to 1501 and see if it still happens then.Does reducing the Z acceleration in M201 make any difference?

Will test all of that later and report back.

Yes but if I read it right, you are homing at a slower speed and motor torque drops off at higher speed. That's why I was wondering if there is a bit of "stiction" which the motor is able to overcome at 900mm/min but not at 1500mm/min? Or maybe I'm still not reading what you are saying correctly.......
-
What I forgot to mention: there is a chance with each stepper driver power-cycle for this to occur or not, i.e. when I get it once I will get it every time until the driver is powered down. If it does not happen it won't until driver power down.

Strangely after being able to reproduce it most of the times I just had a hard time getting it to happen again right now.
OK, I tried the following now:
- Reduce
M203 Zto 600mm/min (and W always the same value set) -> I was unable to reproduce it withF601(only a few attempts) - Increase
M203 Zto 1501mm/min -> I was unable to reproduce it withF1502 - After very many tries I was able to reproduce it again with
M203 Z1500andF1501- After homing W as at
0.3and after it moved out of sync at the top it was at0.0 - AFAICT W stays at
0.3after homing until I unhide the axis for the first time. If I unhide, hide, unhide it after homing without any movement it will switch it's position from0.3to0.0 - I saw it only once now that the left motor overshot
- Reducing the acceleration from 100 to 75 made the overshoot worse, reducing to 50 made even "worser"
- increasing the acceleration from 100 to 150 seemed to make it a bit better but still overshooting
- Increasing acceleration further to 175, 200, 250 or 1000 (did not even know my Z axis was capable of that) I was not able to reproduce with or it was so low of an overshoot that it was no longer visible
- After homing W as at
EDIT:
G92 W0inhomez.gseems to cure it. - Reduce
