Need Help!- Can you use two BOB if you want more Input pins?

[Mr.Chips]

Can you use two BOB if you want more Input pins? Naturally with different addresses.

I’m thinking it could by configuring as below.

Port 1 Pin 11 12 13
Port 2 Pin 11 12 13

The Port 1 BOB would be connected to the drivers, and some Input pins.
And Port 2 BOB would not have any drivers designated, but would have Input pins available.

What problems might I run into with this that my pea brain can’t see?

Thanks

check out the cnc4pc c10 BOB. This has jumpers to make the BOB act as inputs mostly thruout the whole bob.... If I remember right.

If you have a controller (eg Mach, Turbocnc) etc that recognizes more than one port at a time, then yes you can do it. They have been designed exactly for this type of situation.
