Ok so.. sorry for all the questions. I have a Pmdx 134 motherboard can i use this with only one 203v driver in it to start and add others later? So i would use two outputs on the Pmdx 126 for 320 legacy drivers and then use the mother board Pmdx 134 for one 203v driver. Sound messed up? thank you!

Thank you for the help on the relay! So now my question is can i Mix two 320 drivers pushing servo's (X axis, Y Axis) and one 203 driver pushing a 960 oz Stepper (Z Axis)? I believe from what i have read that the answer is yes.

Please let me know if this looks i am heading the right direction here.

Also i assume Mach 3 ports and pins line up with the Numbers on the PDMX 126?

So i just purchased the PMDX 126, the PMDX 107, PDMX ContractorMD20-120, and two PMDX-HRD26 Ribbon cables. I currently have a ESS from Warp 9. Anything else i should look into before i start my retrofit of my running gecko 320 driven 3 motor machine? Drivers are good, Servo's check out, I have a licenced copy of Mach 3 and a good PC to run it off of. Maybe some someone has a Diagram laying around of what they did? Cheers!

I have a old Dyna CNC machine i use for routing wood. It currently uses gecko 320's, 3 of them to run 3 servo's with a torch height controller in line using two parallel ports. I would like to remove the THC and move to a Ethernet control instead of a parallel port. So what board would be best here? i was thinking PMDX 126 with a 107 on it? If this is a good route what voltage do i need to supply the board with? Thank you for any help in this!
