Title: Multiple controllers/devices
Post by: joeaverage on January 05, 2017, 06:33:04 AM

Hi All,
is it possible to have more than one motion controller active at once? I had assumed not but in truth don't know.

Looking at the Mach config for both inputs and outputs it looks like you can have different devices active for different I/Os.
Is this correct?

You can only have 1 motion controller that mach4 communicates with, however you can have multiple IO boards.

Hi DTG,
thanks for the reply. Mach4 gets cleverer every time I look.
