Retrofit of Mill

[Eagle]

Hello members,
Could any one help me that I may be able to interface my GETTSYS SCR servo controller to GPIO4D AJAX ?
Pictures of my mill are attached for your kind attention.

Do you have any further info on the servos? I believe one of the pictures has a servo data-plate but it doesn't give much information. Our ALLIN1DC can handle DC servos up to 40in-lb / 4.52 Nm, if those servos fall within those specs, it would eliminate the need to re-use the old drives. The ALLIN1DC setup is slightly more cost effective than the MPU11/GPIO4D and you would have the benefit of having new drives as well.

Liviu's just quoting the numbers; he's being WAY too modest about the product.

What he doesn't say is, the AIODC board makes for a VERY CLEAN, easy-to-route installation!
With only the least bit of work and a few plastic wiring chases, the AIODC layout is the easiest, cleanest retrofit I've ever had the pleasure of doing.

Thanks for your kind attention and suggestion . I am interested in using old servo drives for my motors as they are in healthy condition.
Is it possible to do it with MPU11/GPIO4D ?

The MPU11/GPIO4D setup is designed to interface with third party drives capable of accepting a -10 to +10 volt signal. A differential quadrature encoder signal (+A,-A,+B,-B,+Z,-Z) is also needed by the control for each axis. If your encoders are capable of carrying a differential quadrature signal (+A,-A,+B,-B,+Z,-Z) then you can send a signal directly to the MPU11. It is more common with 3rd party drives to get the encoder signal from the drives instead (often the drive will have the option to "simulate" the signal). In this case it does not matter what type of encoders you have as long as your drive has the option to output a differential quadrature signal.
