Chinise mesa clone vs Original vs Ethercat

Dear,

Yes, I tested with X and Y axis controlled by c-mesa 7i92 ver 2.0 and Z axis on Ethercat port, and works fine, I run a program and looks fine but i do no cut any piece of metal yet because this is a test setup and the Z ethercat servo was a external rtelligent ethercat closed loop step motor and my original z servo is way bigger and it is step and direction controled

And after as a test I disconnect the 2 Ethernet ports, and then I use only one Ethernet port and I made the proper setup for ethercat mac address for the same port as the mesa port , and I use a Ethernet switch from wago (industrial Ethernet switch) and I connect only one PC Ethernet port (the original one onboard port from ralteck), and the ethercat drive and c-mesa card to the same switch and was working fine, I did not spend to much time testing, because I need the machine back to work again,

I mean:  1 pc port, 1 Ethernet switch, 1 Ethercat drive (Z axis), 1 c-mesa card 7i92 with X, Y axis connected. runnig in a loop

And I am really surprised that I test some mixed configuration and the CNC machine with probe basic GUI, and was working fine without prompt me a issue,

Nice. Which model Wago ethernet switch did you use? I was under the impression most ethernet switches don't run ethercat.

I use this one wago 852-111, I used on ethercat, as daisy chain device as ethercat topology concept (I mean on input one output), I do not test a star or other network topology, I use this to split the same PC NIC with, mesa card and internet connection, it is working fine all together, but I do not test like intensive mode for several hours.
