I want to run ethercat and a mesa

Hey guys, I'm building a new mill, and would like to run on ethercat servos. I'm wondering if there's any issue running a 5I25 or similar as an input for MPG/buttons/switches and other basic IO things, while using ethercat for the motors. 

I'm new to ethercat,  but did build a linuxcnc+5i25+steppers mill and lathe about 10y ago. They are still going strong. I'm currently going through trying to relearn all the linuxcnc stuff.

Don't know about this specific combo, but I have run 7i96 and ethercat on two separate network interfaces without issues.
My guess is it will work just fine.
