12V devices on a 24V powered Duet Ethernet
-
Hi to all
I am new on the forum as I just received my brand new Duet Ethernet yesterday.
I am 3D Printing for more than a year on a custom Mankati Full-scale XT Plus. As of this morning, the printer wasn't stock anymore for months except the motherboard, but it nearly died from overheating due to a low quality PSU chinese (ADC is faulty).
The previous board was delivering 5V, 12V internally from a 24V PSU so :
- fans, LED lightning and capacitive sensor are 12V - I have a board to decouple the NPN NO sensor signal from power, so no problem to use an endstop on +3,3V
- logic in under 5V for all the switches.
- steppers and bed are 24V
- I haven't measured for the temp sensors, but I don't care as I'm upgrading to PT100 with the convenient board.
I have already exchanged my PSU, just before realizing the board was faulty by a 24V 500W TDK-Lambda.
I have bought a small 24V to 12V dc converter to power the 3 pwm (fans) and 2 always on (led and probe) from digikey : https://www.digikey.fr/product-detail/fr/cui-inc/PYB30-Q24-S12-U/102-3263-ND/4477521
Based on the other topics I should connect the +12V of the converter to the V_FAN or the + of each fan and the - of the fans to the ground of each board's pwm and always on connectors.
But where should I connect the ground of the dc convertor ? Directly to my 24V PSU ground ?
Again sorry for the newbie's question.
Your support will be much appreciated !

I did this very thing yesterday to get 12V fans on a 24V-powered Duet Ethernet. You can source 24V and GND from your PSU (or anywhere else that is convenient) to power the regulator, and connect the +12V output of the regulator to the middle pin of V_FAN (removing the jumper that is present of course). There is no need to connect the GND output of the regulator anywhere.
Cheers,

Hi to all
But where should I connect the ground of the dc convertor ? Directly to my 24V PSU ground ?Yes, that is also correct.
A note on the post above by fulg: if your DC-DC converter has ground connections on both the input and output sides, they will be connected together within the converter, so you need only connect the input ground terminal to anything.

Thanks a lot for these valuable inputs.
Indeed my DC - DC converter has ground connection on both input and output. Connecting the input was obvious, the output ground not. -
I finished wiring and testing this morning.
I had an issue yesterday with the DC DC converter as it is an isolated one. No V+12V on V_FAN.
Finally solved it by making a common ground between input and output of the converter.
It is not anymore isolated, but it making is job as a voltage step down device.
Thanks to David for the clue on the common ground.Now I'm in the configuration process of the Duet. I hope my printer will be live again this evening.
