Sounds really good! Got my first Ethercat servo board to run with good accuracy this weekend and got my first circuit board there I am really happy with design a few hours ago. Layout of circuit boards should be good for electrical and manufaturing reasons, they should also have enough clearance/creapage to fulfill safety standards if needed and circuits with reinforced safety certificates have been used, at least if they ordered with correct part number, no module, standard discretet transistors, it is standard circuit boards with some marginal to the minimum clerance and trace with tough thicker than standard copper might be needed. It should also be possible to fit in a box with power connectors on the sides, logic connectors and LEDs according to Ethercat standard on the top, this design should hopefully be suitable then mounted in a cabinet though cooling fin on the back might complicate it in case a large one is needed.
