    Allright - air supply sorted, unclamp/clamp toggle at initiation of axis alignment is successful. It was all there, Just needed to add an air coupling in the air block up by the terminals for the axis.

    I am now only (well, hopefully...) missing the parameteres for the axis.
    However, as my motor is kind of a Frankenstein one, this could be an adventure.

    The motor has no label on it, due to corrosion during a hard life with little or no maintenance but i've figured it has got to be a

    It was originally equipped with an encoder, but I've changed this with a resolver

    When the motor starts to align, it spins a couple of rounds until I get the messages

    Exceeded configured servo fail limit.
    Verify axis gains and drive connections.
    Reduce the speed of the axis move.

    #2
    Exceeded configured error limit (10).
    Verify axis gains and drive connections.
    Reduce the speed of the axis move.


    Where should I go from here?

    Re: Rotary axis I/O

    Done some more fiddling;

    Display shows 1.3 degrees per motor revolution, so the resolver seem to work. The ratio might be off, though.

    Some acquired motor spec;

    Kb = 42.0 V/KRPM
    Max speed = 3000 rpm
    Freq = 220Hz
    Stall cont = 4.73 amps(rms)
    Stall peak = 20.4 amps(rms)
    Volts = 230 RATED(rms) L/L

    These numbers must be converted to suit somewhere in the tabs Servo Axis Data, Servo Gearing, Axes Axis Data and/or Axis Rates.
    I really don't want to put in any erratic parameters that eventually will cause damage to the drive, so please give me a shout if there are some obvious errors in the attached setup pictures.

    Re: Rotary axis I/O

    Right... progress! I managed to set the axis modulus correct.

    My Troyke DL-12-D is 120:1 ratio, and adding the pulley ratio I end up with 1 rpm on servo shaft equals 2.01deg on the table/display.

    Also I've managed to synchronize resolver / motor windings by following BDS4 service manual;
    - shorting the two upper jumper pins by connector C1
    - jump enable to get the rotor to stall in position
    - twist resolver stator until FOLDBACK-lamp is <steady
    - secure stator
    - the end

    I've set the Drive Sensitivity to 23.8V/rpm - calculated from motor info. Other than that I'm just increasing and decreasing the other parameters with no luck so far.
    The motor judders and I get the same alarm as earlier.
