Re: Gecko Faults

Jon,
I am using gecko 320's and a 36v 25 amp power supply. I am using
Mach 2, when I jog the machine they fault, but I can go to mdi
screen and type g01 x1 f2 and they will run that way, but they also
fault out from time to time doing that. They are you 15 lb-in servos
which would be 240 oz-in. Or atleast thats what I figured it to be,
which might be my problem.
