Closed loop stepper motor problem

I try to connect a closed loop stepper motor to Duet2 using an expansion breakout board. Before I used a normal stepper motor with an external driver on Duet.
When I use the jog command (G0) with a button, it works. When I use other commands like homing (G1), it goes wrong. The movements are not coherent and the distance is no longer correct. When I use the button, the distance is ok.
If I set the closed loop operation with a switch, the result is the same.
The strange thing is that the driver does not alarm for missed steps. So the driver does not see the missed steps.
When I block the motor, the driver alarms for missed steps.

Does anyone have experience with this? Or know how to solve this problem?

Sounds like whatever is controlling the driver is either missing steps, too fast or has internal program unwanted delays.
