beside the traditional limit switch for x and z the mpg and step speed control i need another 44 digital input and 27 digital output that means 2 7i84
in the description of the 7i84 i see "The RS-422 interface at 2.5 MBaud is compatible with HostMot2s SSLBP smart serial interface which can support as many as 32 7i84 cards for a total of 1024 inputs and 512 outputs" before you told me the 7i97t suport only one 7i84 but you can use the availabe expantion port and one on the regular port or both on de expantion port ? thats not clear to me
is it a good idea to use a separate plc to controle the lathe and let the 7i97 do the nc of the axe ?

You would need a 7i74 to connect up to 8 SSerial boards, besides the one on the 7i97T.
If you can do some simple electronics, do as PCW suggested and get the chip he mentioned, that is much cheaper since you only need one more. If you end up needing more than one, get the 7i74, saves a lot of time and makes for a cleaner control box as it is very easy to wire in.

Final update on the topic:
a replacement 7i84 just arrived and I connected it in the same way. With the new card all inputs and outputs are working properly. I can see the card in halshow and it just works
