This is all good info, I do know we have a firewall setup on the router, much more than that, I'm not sure, and I don't really mess with that aspect of or system, I'm just responsible for the Linux machines, As for the actual cnc machines, they are internet connected, but the operators do not

I would say that the first critical thing to determine and accomplish is the lowest jitter data transfers as possible via Ethernet. Since you are using one of the STM32 processors I would thing that DMA would be the best method to process the packet data. What stack are you planning to use? On T

I am using LWIP stack. currently I can turn stepper motor from Linuxcnc but I need to finnish of the small details. In the long run I will aim for something that work with one full period of jitter, dead line equal to period. To send stepper position and let micro controller interpolate in betw
