This is why I don't like smart servo drives.. lol.. You don't know how well the drive is following the path linuxcnc is commanding..
With steppers - at least they stall.. The fact that the servo drive isn't tripping a following error makes me think they are not setup correctly. It should notice the difference between the step train and the actual position of the servo and know that it isn't keeping up.
