Looks like that got me over the hurdle.

I'm using the orginal Hurco amps and power supply. The 7i33 just gives me the +/- 10 volt command. The Hurco amps share the power supply that is controled by a AC Contactor in the power cabinet. The amp cards are on a backplane that share the enable line that is 24 volts dc.So I only need one enable line. It's all or none on enabling axis. I was going to control the AC contactor with a Opto 22 quad relay that I have it also will control the brake and coolant as there AC also. This amps has limit inputs that are serperate from the limit input the EMC2. when the Amps see a limit it set a fault line and stop motion in that direction but will let you go the other direction to get off the limit. Once off the limit it clears the fault.
