[Emc-users] MESA questions
Hello, Some questions regarding MESA cards: 1. Please confirm the configuration 7i43+7i48 for 6 channel analog servo. Is there full firmware support? 2. The friend's machine has 7 servos (including 3 spindles) in step/dir mode, and RS422 is preferred for higher input frequency. Which RS422 daughter cards for 5i20 (or other FPGA) are supported with hardware? Also, is there any possible config with 7 steppers and 7 RS422 quadrature encoders?

Yes, but you do need to use LinuxCNC 2.5 to support the 7I48 a 5I25/7I77 might be a better solution if you need additional 12/24V I/O 2.

Its a little awkward with 7 but for example: The 7I52S has 6 RS-422 step/dir outputs and 6 RS-422/TTL encoder inputs so 2 of these would give 12 of each. This would require a 5I23 as this is too much logic for a 5I20. This requires LinuxCNC 2.5 as well 2 7I47s would also do, giving 8 encoder inputs (RS-422 only) and 12 RS-422 step/dir outputs.

If you use the driver torque or velocity inputs, the encoders are wired just to LinuxCNC We need to connect encoders for index purpose solely. Generally it's an awkward config, I understand.
