Thanks for getting back to me.
Good advice there!
OK, so, relays, check, 24v check, now going for two inputs (home+limit, makes sense!), one additional for now with the probe and both in respective series.
Still a little lost on the PP PCI card..
Is the one I posted earlier suitable?
(If so, I'll get it in straight away!)
Thanks in advance!

Honestly Can't say has never used one but I do know using PP PCI cards can be a bit of a lottery with Mach due to the way some work. If it just emulates a PP port but uses USB bus instead of the proper serial BUS which I think some do then believe they are the ones that can give trouble.? But again in all honesty I don't know enough to comment confidently.
Suggest you go to Mach forum and check out some posts has it's been discussed a few times on there I think.?
If your only running a small machine or Lathe then checkout the Pokeys 56U or E has this will solve you several problems in one go.?
It's a 25Khz motion controller with either USB(56U) or Ethernet(56E) connection and gives 55 X Digital inputs 7 X analog 6X PWM outputs upto 26 Encoder pairs along with loads of other options plus it's MODBUS TCP so can be expanded to hundreds of inputs etc.
These are great for building Custom control panels and make using buttons to control MAch features easy. The encoder options also make it very easy to add a MPG for hand control movement or building a hand held Pendent.
Check it out here. PoKeys56E
