Re: Motors Jumping

Step 1: check your battery voltage.

Re: Motors Jumping

Do you have a vi you could show? You don't have to, but I have found that either 1( battery is low on charge or 2( you code is too large and cluttered and could A( be submitting conflicting values or B( causing a lag. B may not actually happen but we had this problem yesterday and a combination of the two fixed it for us. Good luck!

Re: Motors Jumping

I second Alan's advice regarding battery. I also believe that your (I assume) 40A circuit breakers feeding (I assume) CIM motors are tripping.

These may or may not be related.
