CL86T Stepper Motor Driver with
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Troubleshooting the CL860 stepper motor driver from STEPPERONLINE. The motors current draw seems pretty low and there's no holding torque. This video was made to share with
STEPPERONLINE to get feedback as to what could be the issues and how to resolve those issues.
Note: I incorrectly mentioned its a NEMA 32 stepper motor, the rotor is in fact a NEMA 34 (34hs31-6004d-e1000) from STEPPERONLINE.
I have not seen a lot of people use this driver, i got one and have been having issues. I have not been able to move the motor at all. With or without enable the motor does not want to move. When connect the enable the motor does make a glitch sound but there is not holding torque and it does not move. When i disconnect enable, there is holding torque but no steps. I have tried connecting DIR- and PULL- together to ground and supplied signal using an ESP32 3.3v, and also with an Arduino 5v (For both using the stepper library through IO pins). No response from the motor. Even tried connecting DIR+ and PULL+ to 5v (Arduino) or 3.3v(esp32) and PULL + and DIR+ to two IO pins respectively. Motor does not move. I can confirm there is voltage on the DIR and PULL pins. Can you show your wiring diagram and the code your running?
I have not looked at this in a very long time. If you are still having issues let me know and I will dig this out again and see if I can get it back to this point. I believe I put it aside due to the level of uncooperativeness of this product. It was just not made with simplicity in mind.
@@KasLewis Hey Thanks for replying. I was able to figure it out. There was some wiring issues with my ESP 32 and I was able to get that sorted.
I'm happy to hear you're able to figure, it'd be great to see how far you can get this working as I was able to get it to working to a certain extent but beyond that I just kept having problems think there was slipping issues and missing steps. I don't believe it's too bad of a product I think either they're missing some explanation on how all I need to fix up the firmware to make it more user friendly.
Did you get this sorted out? I am looking at the CL86Y and the CL86T drivers for a project and not sure which way to go. Given the issue you are seeing on your end I am leary going the CL86T route if it can't hold the torque when the step is locked.
By disconnecting the enable pin the issue was resolved. I would assume from this there the code on the Arduino has a timing issue. I am assuming the delay between set enable and the time to start stepping is either not long enough or non-existent. If you would like I can post a second video showing that is does now work.
@@KasLewis I'm more interested in the difference between the CL86Y vs the CL86T and if I should spend the extra for the T series
@@codearachnid I have not used the Y series. What I have used with the T has been somewhat limited. If there's anything you'd be interested in having tested, I wouldn't mind doing something for you.
@@KasLewis I really appreciate it! I reached out to stepperonline the other day for the differences and they sent me a table to refer to www.omc-stepperonline.com/index.php?route=extension/module/iblogs&path=2&post_id=9 and maybe I'm missing something but there is no data to compare and the actual product pages don't seem to have much variation between the two models for actual data to determine their capabilities. So I was hoping you in the real world had some insight as to why you chose T over Y.
@@codearachnid From looking at that link, it appears the difference is reliability. The parts are supposed to be from top brands and the manufacturing is supposed to be tier 1.
I would love to get a version Y open it up alongside the T I have and look for differences. I wonder if there would be anything noticeable between the two in terms of component selection and the manufacturing process.
I have looked further into the product pages (not too deep) and there are other differences.
Y - USB
T - RS232
Y - 8.5A
T - 8.2A
Y - 20~80VAC / 30-110VDC (AC/DC input)
T - 30 ~ 80VDC (DC Input only)
I'm sure there are other differences as well, but these are the ones I found after a brief comparison. I hope this is helpful.
Why is the damn description translated?
I'm not sure what you mean
Hello, How can contact you mate
Cheers
What are you looking for??
@@KasLewis I have the same driver and I will like to know if you can help me to wiring, if you have any diagram
Thank you very much
@@johnbullfloats7502 Can you elaborate please. I beliv ethere are two power connections, input control and output to the servo motor.
@@KasLewis I'm struggling where I wiring the signal from the driver to the controller.
@@johnbullfloats7502 Did you ever get this resolved?
