Hi,

I’ve not worked with DC motors with that driver (only steppers). However you could check the motor type setting. The PV name might be DMC01:A:A_MTRTYPE_CMD.

Also check the drive enable signal (DMC01:A:A_ON_CMD) which should be “On”

If there’s an issue with limits then either .HLS or .LLS will be set to 1.

Cheers,
Matt

We have an IOC shell set up with encoder feedback that the motor is tracking (if we move the motor shaft a bit then it corrects itself to the encoder position), but whenever we try to send the motor to a specified position through the motor record's VAL field we receive the following error:
