I have a camalot glue dispense system that uses a dmc1030 card, the card went bad and i was instructed to try the dmc1040. i know the dmc1040 has an extra axis. when we power the machine on and send it to its home position it moves a little and stops all 3 axis seem to jump a little and then nothing, is there a setting or anything that needs changed I'm not really familiar with these cards

Hello Kevin,

 

Other than the additional axis, there are a few potential differences between the two controllers you mention. Primary among these is the dmc code and parameters that may have been saved to the DMC-1030 that were not transferred to the DMC-1040. If for instance the DMC-1030 used non default PID values, then your motors could be stopping on the DMC-1040 due to excessive servo position error.

 

My first question then would be, do you have a means of procuring any code or parameters that were on the previous controller? The original manufacturer of the system would be the first contact for this.

unfortunately when the card is installed the machine/computer wont even boot up. ill try contacting the original manufacturer. i do have a working dmc1030 in another machine which works when installed on the broken machine.

i set the PID settings to the same as the working DMC1030 card and it does the same thing... it just moves to home position and stops then if i hit home again it moves just a little off of home and stops... does move other than that

does not move other than that
