Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Encoder question

First you should check to see what the current drain is for that encoder.
The G320/340 can only supply 50 ma. Many encoders typically draw 75-125MA.
You can still use them but you would need an external 5V power supply
capable of handling the current for all the servo motors equiped with those
encoders. Then don't forget to add the 470 ohm resistor between the G320
Enc+ and enc - terminals.
But from your post you are asking for a a step/direction brushless. servo
amp. Brushless servo motors wouldn't work with the G320/G340's
