Therefore, 5-24V line drivers will be needed for the Panasonic driver, and the DYN4 will Step/Dir with 5 volts.>
Have you considered using the +/-10V Analog interface to those drives? This would make for a more closed loop system with encoder information feeding back to the Controller (KFLOP) and be somewhat more standard and straightforward. This will involve tuning the servos in KFLOP which may or may not be an advantage for you. This would also permit you to use JP4 for Konnect for the additional 24V IO.
