7i97t Mesaflash Problem

Furthermore, the Mesa disconnects after approximately 5 minutes with these values. The 1A Ff fuse doesn't blow, but the wire deforms. I suspect that due to increased contact resistance, the voltage at the Mesa is no longer sufficient.

Yes, the PWM value (from the PID component) should increase as the position
error increases.

Did you check the 5V power?

Are CR23 and CR27 (Yellow LEDs near the center of the card) both fully illuminated?
(these LEDS indicate the analog +16/-12V power supply operation)
