I am looking for a suggestion for the best MESA card to be used with an ethernet connection 4axes Teknic servo / stepper taking a step/direction input of 5 to 24V Ideally this would be in a format that I could mount in a simple enclosure. 3digital inputs per axis, so 12inputs 1 additional digital output. I will be using a fresh build of linuxcnc on a 64bit Ubuntu platform. Thanks very much, Alan _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
As Andy suggested, a 7I96S is close but shy of one input. If the three inputs per axis include limits, you could save inputs by sharing limit inputs between axis, In addition you can share a limit and home on the same axis. With maximum sharing you could get away with only 5 inputs (4 home switches and a combined limit input) Peter Wallace Mesa Electronics _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
