Node Wood Lathe

PoE node voor the woodlathe based on a PowerNode White.

Use

When stationaly - led will flash briefly every few seconds. If it flashes faster - it is unhappy about something.

Swipe your card at the bottom. LED wil come on solid (or flash rapidly during check or error).

Operate the machine with the red/green on-off button on the right end / near the legs.

Press orange button once you are done to lock things. Note: the unit will refuse to power off while the machine is running. So first power off the machine with its own red/green button (press green). Then press the button on the node to `lock' it.

Trouble shooting

See PowerNode White for details.

The log file is available on http://woodlathe.local/ or http://192.168.6.144/. One can also telnet to this address. Logs are also sent to MQTT and to Syslog at the firewall. Or connect a serial cable; but be sure to use a Galvanic USB isolator.

Configuration

The unit contains a PoE fed PowerNode White that is on Ethernet (LAN). It has a single relay that simply turns one of the phases (L) on and off. The button is wired to 'menu' and contains a LED. This LED is wired to 'ERR'. One of the feeding wires is strung through the Current coil. All this runs through the connector. The relay is 5Volt.

The software can be found in ACNode its examples (in the Arduino IDE) or on GitHub.
