Hi Gene,
I had similar issues.  The soft start on the Servo Power supply results in the 
STMBL servo drive faulting out when enabled because DC power isn't there yet.

I ended up making a board with a PIC12C509 that is an 8 pin processor.  If I'd 
had an Arduino I'd probably have used that.  I now need a bigger one anyway 
since I want to separate the Spindle Enable from the rest of the Enables. 

But I used external hardware to do the time delays to make sure things started 
up the way I wanted.  You might also use time delay relays.  But they aren't 
cheap.  Ultimately an Arduino ends up being an easy solution.
