I have a lot of mechanical work on the machine. Cutting and welding on the housing to get it smaller. maybe i will post pictures later if you are interested.
The plan for the drives at the moment is to use the SIEMENS Drivers if i can manage them to run... i think at least the Step Dir Config via SMC30 should be possible. But i would love to use ethterCAT like in this example.

So i hesitate to buy a used few hundred euro PCB for something i have no glue of
