MESA 7i96S STEP DIR I/O compatibility was created by cncproject2024
Hi, I am building a CNC adhesive dispenser. Two closed loop stepper motors will be used to control the X-axis, one will be used to control the Y-axis and one to control the Z-axis. Here are the 4 motors:
P Series Nema 17 Closed Loop Stepper Motor 72Ncm(101.96oz.in) with Encoder 1000PPR(4000CPR) - 17E1K-07|STEPPERONLINE (omc-stepperonline.com)
And here are the 4 drivers:
Closed Loop Stepper Driver V4.1 0-8.0A 24-48VDC for Nema 17, 23, 24 Stepper Motor - CL57T-V41|STEPPERONLINE (omc-stepperonline.com)
I was wondering if these motors and drivers will be compatible to interface with MESA 7i96s:
eusurplus.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=159
and LinuxCNC. And additionally if this is the most suitable MESA card choice for my build (note that I might also need to connect up an additional motor and driver). I am working on doing this for my company (budget isn’t an issue) but I am very hesitant to buy anything without being certain that it is the right choice. And yes I have read the description that the 7i96s can control up to 5 stepper motors, I just wanted some extra clarification from someone with more experience on the topic as I am only a couple weeks deep into learning about CNC.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All drives that take step/dir or pulse/dir signals work with Mesa 7i96S and other Mesa boards, be it wingle ended or differential inputs as Mesa can do both.
And you can add a Mesa 7i85S to 7i96S and have 4 more stepper outputs, adda 7i84 and get 32 inputs and 16 outputs.
If you do add 7i85S, get also the required cable.
7i84 can be wired with a normal LAN cable cut in half.
