configuring motion control axes

I am trying to run two axes independently with a PCI-7344 motion controller through a UMI-7764. I am running each axis in velocity mode.
I have tested both axes with the Constant_Velocity_Move[1].vi, one works smoothly and the other is erratic, with the motor speeding up to maximum, then stopping, and overall not following the input velocity. I have been through the Board Configuration file in MAX with a fine tooth comb - the configuration for both axes is identical, as are the PID parameters. It is not the motor hardware; I have checked the analogue output with a dvm and the readings reflect the motor response described above.
 
Any suggestion gratefully received.

How have you got the encoders configured? If you perform the moves in MAX with the ineractive control do you get the same behaviour?

Have you got the motion control card wired correctly?
