I have gantry oxy fuel torch with 2 X axis motors master and slave. Cam Soft Pro, Hewlitt Packard Desk top with XP and the 4 axis card with out additional encoder inputs, not the hot rod good one. After jogging the machine off of the work table, turning off the jog, at no exact time the machine will start to drift, some times slow some times about 1/2 of rapid. The Cam soft screen acts like a locked up computer with no response from mouse clicks or pushing the function keys on key board. feed hold on control will not stop it either. the DRO screen shows movement. you can push against the machine and stop its movement, so the motors are not being commanded to move, about half the time this stops the drifting, sometimes you have to physically stop the machine 3 times to make it stay. after it finally stops the little block pops up asking " Shut Down Control" If you click NO, the drives reenable and the machine starts to work properly again.
How is a good way to test if the Galil card is bad or the HP computer has lost its mind?
