Whatever size you can put the cable through and do at least 1 or 2 windings.

I have a 7i73 for the control panel. Interesting when it lost communication with the board 7i98. Always the output pins remain at the levels they were before it lost connection with the host.. Is this normal? Or there is a specific setting in Hal .
It's not critical, but I think it's not normal.

You should ask that in the "driver boards" section of the forum as i am not sure PCW monitors this side of the forum, well i am sure he does sometimes, but not sure if always.

Since the 7I73 was designed for control panels and not direct machine control
it does not automatically disable outputs on a fault. I suppose that feature could
be added but it might make more sense to use a 7I84/7I84U in that case.

I can now use more than one tool... I made some parts from 6082 aluminum, but I can't get the chips to break; they always tangle.Does anyone have any experience witch 6082?
