Hi everyone,I’m planning to rebuild one of my CNC mills and would like to use a Mesa 7I76E for axis and I/O, together with a Lichuan LC10E20E EtherCAT servo drive for the spindle.Has anyone here set up a similar configuration and can share their experience with this servo drive?One drawback of this setup is that I’ll need a PC with either three Ethernet ports or two plus Wi-Fi. I’d prefer a fully wired connection (to avoid potential noise issues), I’m looking for recommendations.Do you have suggestions for suitable hardware that would work well with this setup?Greetings from Germany

There are some nice N150 industrial PC's now with wifi and 4 NIC's that should do the job. Some also have screw terminal RS485 ports too! Insist on Intel NIC's though!

What do you think about the PeeliCeeli N150 and what would be recommendable RAM and SDD size? 16gb RAM and 512 SDD sounds like plenti to me.

8 gb will be fine. SSD whatever you want but mostly I've used from 64gb to 256 gb
