Yes of course software is free.

No, it's not obvious really, it's not uncommon for high-end Servo manufacturers to charge for specialist tuning software if not using their own controllers just like it's not uncommon for PLC providers to charge for programming software.

I'm not yet to the point of tuning but having read the manual multiple times I don't expect many issues. You start with the auto-tuning and fine-tune from there.

I'd be interested in hearing how you get on with tuning. What controller and which method of control +/-10v or Step/Dir .?

IMO rotary absolute encoders are not worth the hassle.

What hassle.? Far less wiring and setting up far as I can tell, esp if using Bus type.! . . . I've not used any yet but soon will be doing so I'll let you know.
