You should have no problem with using the 24v in - 5v logic out into the ICM breakout, I have never had a problem using them?

There is a 22 day lead time for the 16t board from newark. Im gonna see about getting it from somewhere else. I will post my progress when it becomes available.

How about eBay? I see about 30 offers right now.

opto22, opto 22 g4pb16t items - Get great deals on Electrical Test Equipment items on eBay.com!

Be careful, several have 24 volt logic optos - you can't use those, but the board is OK

It seems a bit of a waste to use outboard 5v supply for the Opto logic.
The PC power supplies 5v is usually rated fairly high.
On a 16 module board, even if all were populated as logic inputs the current draw should be less than 20ma.

I meant to say there was a 22 day lead time for the G4PB4 so I ordered the 16T....newark had them in stock. My buddy thought the 50 dollar difference was better not to wait 22 more days.

We already have the power supply so why not?

So heres what it is.

I ordered the 16t and will be using G4IDC5 inputs.


Hopefully the board gets here by the weekend with the holiday and all so I can slap it together and give her a whirl.

One more thing to fail..

Very true.

Guys,

Everything has been wired up and ready to go but we have been waiting on these fuses to get here from the UK. I found every wire I was looking for including all the commons. Once these fuses get here I am gonna fire her up and I will post my results. At that point I may need to start a new thread for help with writing code for the turret, coolant, chuck, and tailstock which are going into the g4 optos. Im gonna read the book and see if I can teach myself first.
