    My configuration uses n°2 sabertooth 2x32 cards, each of which is powered by one psu servers and a parallel connected battery.
    Then 2 sabertooth cards, 2 psu servers, 2 batteries.
    Is it possible to mount a safety switch that disconnects power to both circuits or does two separate switches be required?
    Thanks

    Buy another and you remove the switch you need and put it to the other, come 1 NC and 1 NO, leave both equal and stop the two PSU.
    Another thing is the batteries, these will not stop, and the motion will continue to work, you can use a few but they will never stop because its current will keep them primed
