Using more than one stepper motor with one cRIO

[nehap]

Hello,

I am using two stepper motors for my project. I have one stepper motor, Stepper motor drive P70530, Stepper motor C series module NI9512.

I am planning the other motor which is intended to be controlled by the same cRIO.

How can I do the setup for two motors? Do I need two SMDs? Do I need two modules NI9512? Pl help.

This link might help.  I have not read it in detail so it might not answer:

If your current requirements are not too high, an alternative is to build your own or by a board that has a TMC controller and control that from a DIO module
