I also have a SG2100 motor and know of the 'lockup' behaviour your'e talking about. Check your cabling - my SG2100 only does that when I switch cables with the power turned on, and while connecting the cable, the voltage would fluctuate up and down a little bit - this seems to confuse the motor and it doesn't respond to anything until you remove power for 30 seconds or a minute. If this happens without you moving any cables around, I'd check your ends - you could have one strand of shield shorting occasionaly to the center conductor or something.
