paneldue 7i cable ribbon lengths

[rajilpahuja]

hi, need help with what ribbon cable lengths will be ok to use on the e3d tool changer, i mean the 10 pin one, read 400mm is max out, but for the tool hcnager i reckon i need 600 or 700mm so can that long a cable be used ?, also is it ok to use a pt100 board with a longer ribbon cable ? and for the normal cables i read somewhere u cant use the sd card slot if u use them on the panel due, however do the other functions work ? wasn't mentioned, any clarity on that,

if you're reffering to using only the 4-pin serial/power wire then yes, everything but the sd card slot on the PanelDue will work.

Yes, if you use a 4-way cable. The PanelDue cable on one of my machines a nearly 2m long. The SD card socket on the PanelDue won't be available.

also is it ok to use a pt100 board with a longer ribbon cable ?

No. But a long 4-way PanelDue cable doesn't affect the PT100.

@dc42 And what about the 10 pin cable ? how long can it be ? and does using it also effect the pt100 daughter board ?

The maximum recommended length is 300mm. Longer than that may affect the PT100 daughter board because it is on the same SPI bus.
