Hey just another question here guys. I am running out of spare io and want to close the loop back to the control with my encoders so the machine can home to index and knows where it is when drives are turned off under e stop condition.
I know about the 7i85 with 4 encoder inputs but the rest of that board looks like it's all serial connections. Can I use those for general inputs and outputs or do I need another card like the 7i73(operator interface card) ?
