It has a PWM input, so EMC2 control would be trivial.

However, it is rather expensive, and duplicates on-board a number of
things that EMC2 would do for free. I have closed-loop PID control on
my milling machine using built-in EMC2 functions and a PWM output from
EMC2 to the motor drive.

You should be able to use something like

(Mainly as a cheap source of pre-assembled parts) with EMC2 PWM and a
very simple interface circuit taking the place of the potentiometer.
