1) This means that I can directly connect the 5i20 outputs to my drive, not needing any other daughter board for motor control (do not need the 7i33TA that is for analog control)?
2) The encoder feedback, mounted on the servo, for closing the loop on EMC2, that passes trough the servo drive, will also be connected directly to the mesa 5i20? Encoder is incremental differential output 5VDC.
There are any other considerations about this set up that I should be aware of before ordering the mesa hardware? I live quite far away from the supplier and ordering something can be quite a trouble.
Thank you.
