I have an XY table with DC servo motors consisting of RSK MSA6703 encoders. The motor is a I'm trying to figure out my options for a COTS control system as opposed to a DIY option.
One option might be to use Gecko G320X drive using comparators to convert the sine wave outputs to quadrature encoding. Does anyone have experience with this? Is this easy/feasible? I've seen a few hints to this regard on some threasd here but was hoping someone with more experience could confirm this before I blow my beer money.
But I didn't post this in Gecko section because I'm also interested in alternatives. Anything else I should consider? It will be either drive from linuxcnc or something like that.
