Any experience or software for Control Techniques FNC4? Wha do I replace it with?

Also Single ended output form an encoder is not ideal and differential is much better.

These Encoders are Incremental and Differential but it would be no big deal to use a line driver to convert single ended to Differential if needed.

The Encoders would have to go to the Drives in any case because the IP-S or IP-M don't have encoder inputs. Only the IP-A takes Encoder feedback.

Chaz the Tacho's are not used if using Step & Dir drives as they run in position mode and only needed for Analog drives for velocity feedback when used in Velocity mode.

Jazz, I believe they are standard DC motors. They are not steppers.

Yes I know I've got all the Details of the machine. They are actually Swiss made Maxon DC Motors. I refered to Step & Dir signals that New Modern DC drives would use not Steppers drives.

Ah OK, that explains it then.
