I'm trying to setup stall detection for a Sanyo Denki 103H7823-5740 stepper motor (seems to be discontinued, so we will probably have to use something else in production).
Probably irrelevant, but in my setup, i have a PLC controlling the step/dir signal of a polulu driver carrier with all connections connected by soldering 0.75mm2 wire to all terminals, and connecting to everything via WAGO 221.
This setup works as normal without stall detection, but I don't quite understand how to enable the Stall detection.
I have tried following the datasheet as best i can. I Start the driver in torque count mode, and when I get a stable speed, I remove the connection to ground, so that the only connection to STL_MODE is the 1nF capacitor on the polulu stepper carrier. nothing is forcing TRQ_CNT/STL_TH or STL_REP to any value, i am only measuring with Analog inputs on the PLC and/or a multimeter. Still, not only is STL_REP not being pulled down after measuring, it is not even pulled up in the first place.
I also do not see any measurable voltage from the TRQ_CNT/STL_TH pin when in torque count mode, even when i pull STL_REP down to 0V.
I tried enabling stall detection mode with around 0,5v and 1v on the TRQ_CNT/ STL_TH pin, but it didn't do anything even when the stepper was completely stalled.
