You need to find out what is the signal from the control computer to
the drives. If it is an analog voltage from -10 to +10 Volts to command
a specific velocity, then it is easy to do, with EMC. Most PC CNC
programs only do step and direction pulses, but EMC and a few others
will also do servo systems. You also need to find out what the position
sensing device is, whether it is an encoder or resolver.
