12 axis simultaneous motion control

Can we add two motion control cards in the PC to control 12 axis at the same time. Is this idea possible.

Yes, you can control as many axes as you like and you can synchronize the axes within each board, however there is currently no mechanism for synchronizing axes between the boards. You can get pretty close with software timing (a few ms), which is okay for many applications. As long as you do not need all 12 axes to be *exactly* coordinated this will work fine.
