You configure the C/MRI nodes into JMRI, you first select a type, then (within the limitations of that type) you configure the input and output cards, which in turn determines how many Sensors and Turnouts that node has.
For your project, keeping them all on a single (virtual) C/MRI node will simplify the connection to your hardware. Lots of people have individual C/MRI nodes that are much larger than 64 inputs. That¡¯s only two input cards; there¡¯s a layout near hear with 5 input cars (more 115 connected inputs) and 7 outputs on a single node.

I hope the C/MRI IDs make sense. I don't know how many bits can be handled by one node, especially as my interface won't be using the usual C/MRI code or hardware. Right now, I have all 64 C/MRI sensors labelled as being in one node... As there's no hardware, the C/MRI error checking won't work yet.
