Separate +12V to Kincony, +24V to MOSFETs - Toper - 01-11-2026

Hi,
I have a question about power supply for T128.
I'm using 24 V relays (Finder 40.52) connected to the Digital Outputs.
I am considering two power options:

  1. Two power supplies (this version works fine since 2 days):
    • 12 V for the Kincony board (VCC),
    • 24 V only for the outputs,
    • common ground (GND) for both power supplies.
  2. One 24 V power supply:
    • 24 V connected to VCC and to LO.
My questions:
  • Is it safe to connect the grounds (GND) of the 12 V and 24 V power supplies together?
  • Does the manufacturer recommend using a common ground in this case?
  • From thermal and reliability point of view, is it better to power everything with 24 V, or use 12 V for VCC and 24 V only for outputs?

Thank you in advance for your help.
regards,
Toper

i suggest you use one 12v or 24v power supply is better.
But you can also use two different power supply, just need let two power supply GND connected together.
