Like Jim I use mainly ±10vdc analogue control and use a controller that closes the loop rather than just handing positioning over to the drives alone, there are a few advantages, the likes of electronic gearing of axis allowing the for accurate synchronized threading or any other method where axis synchronization is reqd.
This helps in placing the controller on par with the higher end Industrial versions
