These are not "steps", they are the usual trapezoidal ramp-up, coast, 
ramp-down of a manual jog.
A program that did :
G01 X1 F25
X0
(repeat)
would accomplish the same thing, of course.  I usually just do it manually.

Actually, this suits me better than a real step.  You get 4 distinct 
regions (stationary, accelerating, running at constant velocity, and 
decelerating).
Each has little differences in behavior (like the accel and decel have 
friction and mass working in opposite directions on them) and you want 
all 4 regions to have minimal following error.

Excellent.  And very well hidden.  Every week I seem to accidentaly find a
great article on the emc web site.

How do you generate your step pulses?  When I was tunning, I would keep the
machine on and do an MDI move.  This doesn't work too well when the tuning
is so bad it faults when you enable the machine.

I have a very well-hidden article on tuning.  it is aimed at my PWM 
servo system, but much of the info is applicable generally to any EMC2 
servo configuration.

What about this page?
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?PWM_Servo_Amplifiers

here is my mill i retro fitted from a Mitsubishi M0 control to EMC
http://www.linuxcnc.org/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,20/func,view/catid,30/id,559/lang,en/

the next retrofit is two Hardinge Superslants twin turret lathes.
we are very pleased with our EMC fitted on our Leadwell has brought a 
old 1985 machine upto a pretty high standard to todays machines
using its original hardware(servos etc) making is very affordable.

if you looking for feedback on people that have retro fitted big iron 
let us know will happy to add my two cents worth.

Re: [Emc-users] Servo tuning--plot request

2009-08-08 Thread Rob Jansen
Dale,

if the article is to show EMC capabilities in order to promote the 
retrofitting of EMC I am interested.

I have a business relation with two of the same milling centers with 
very old Fanuc controllers.
One is broken (PC problem) and repair will cost more than an EMC 
retrofit. Also the old Fanuc does not accept any parameters of math and 
a max. of about 2000 lines of code.So I am trying to convince him to 
retrofit to EMC to greatly enhance his possibilities.

Regards,

Rob

[Emc-users] Servo tuning--plot request

2009-08-08 Thread Dale Grover
I'm writing up a little article on EMC and would like to include a 
graphic image of EMC being used to tune a servo.  Does anyone have a 
plot (before and after tuning) showing a step response for a servo?

Also, would be happy to get feedback on the article so far.  Email me 
if interested.

Thanks.
