problem happens once or twice a week. here is the info i have gathered from mechanic.
car shuts down on safeties or run monitor i believe
flt 1700 UMD device dropped. car is always at bottom floor, car vel and dmd vel are always 0 Dpp count is always within 4-5 counts of actual count at bottom
under "D" in fltn window, there is a - sign
one thing i noticed with info he gave is there are many 1698 faults UIM main brake failed to hold car after stop . it does not shut down car, and there were 76 of them on the fltn command. looks like they are always at the bottom floor, and the dpp count is always within 4-5 of actual. he was at job, and saw the car log the 1698 fault and reported it stopped normal and had no signs of a problem, besides the logging of the fault
engineer says they have had many mechanics and have replaced many parts over the last few months, to no avail. being the new company we have no idea what has actually been replaced. any ideas?
not sure about the position encoder either, thanks for the responses, ill get more info when i go out. and i will check what you have advised.
"Synergy" is the MRL product, it uses a Torin PM gearless machine and either an Accord drive or a 10K with the RC2 adapter like your picture. On the Synergy, in addition to the encoder shielding, the brake switch shield should be landed on one end too but the brake coil and motor wiring shield needs to be grounded on both ends to keep the noise in. Also, just because the wires land to the shield terminals doesn't mean they're grounded.
I'll send you something on setting up the logfile.
