Rutex has a lot of products. I may have missed something.

With Servo-to-Go, the computer reads the encoder position, and sends
a velocity command to the servo amp. With the Rutex drives, the
computer sends step and direction signals to the drive, and gets no
feedback. It assumes the drive has positioned the motor to the correct
place. You can't go between manual and CNC this way, as the computer
doesn't get position feedback from the encoder.

So, the Servo-to-Go is a servo INTERFACE, whereas the Rutex is a
servo driver with step/direction inputs.
