The idea to power it from 24V stuck, I am going to do it that way. Will get rid of a 5V power supply in the cabinet.
The voltage reader can fit in a connector, that would be possible, but not the EtherCAT components. They need say 100x60 mm as it is today.
Two-sided and dense packing, no still not inside a connector.
I will try that idea to put the EtherCAT function on the plasma cutter. It doesn't make sense for me since it is a matter of 0.5 meter, but why not?
Could be a question of how long the ethernet cable can safely be versus how long the I2C cable can be.
That power injector/ejector is here on Monday.
I have a Herocut 55i, it is all very small scale, hobby and prototypes for my enjoyment.
I get voltage, arc-ok and can control torch-on. Power level, air pressure isn't, well require more work than I want to spend right now.
Must also say I am very happy with QtPlasmaC, works really nice.
