Strange EMC Problems

[pyrojon]

I'm brand new to EMC so I'm sure that I'm missing something simple, maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm having two strange problems, both of them related to the Z axis.


1. The Z-Axis doesn't work while in the stepconfig wizard. When I hit the Test Axis button and go to the screen where I can jog the axis, or set a test area and let it run, I can't get the Z axis to move. (It used to work, but at some point it just stopped.) The Z axis does work in manual and automatic modes when in Axis, just not in the configurator.

2. G00 operations don't seem to adhere to the set jog speed even if I set the speed with an F operation on the same line. When I complete an operation and I want to raise the tool above the stock and move to a new location the Z axis is trying to raise too fast and the motor (Red Stepper from Probotix) is stalling, and many times the machine attempts to then job in the XY plane, through the stock. My jog speed is set to 14in/min and EMC2 is trying to jog the axis at over 150in/min.

If I switch to using a G1 operation with an F operation to define the speed I have no trouble.

Do I have something screwed up in the configuration somewhere?
Any ideas?

Thanks
Jon

G0 moves at "Max_Velocity", it does not use a feedrate command. Try setting your acceleration lower.
