Can the stepper motor 'step & direction' output from EMC2 be used to run a servo based system that has step & direction input amplifiers where the servo motor encoder feed back goes into the amp and not EMC2? I believe the Yaskawa Sigma II amps can run in this mode. My thought was to build a simpler system and avoid the additional motion control boards if the Yaskawa amps could connect directly to an isolator/break-out board from the parallel port. Or are these two completely different systems with only the "step & direction" words in common?
