No, EMC is fully closed-loop for servo systems. You can fool it
with drivers that just send back a position by counting step pulses
(my USC board can do this, too) but the PPMC for analog servos
counts the encoder pulses and reports the count to the CPU. It then
computes a velocity command and sends it to the DAC board to
drive the servo amp.

See http://jelinux.pico-systems.com/PPMC.html for more info.
