Hi Marius, When you hit Estop do the drives power down completely? If so, you might as well stick with step/dir without encoder feedback. With step/dir the only thing encoder feedback will do for you is let you track the machine's movement when it is in estop. If the drives power down you

Hi I have been requested to convert a router that has Yaskawa Servo Packs (SGD7S with analog and step/dir and encoders) already installed. The installation makes use of the STEP/DIR signals currently but with no encoder feedback. I intend to use the Mesa 7I95 to replace the Chinese
