Subject: Will the Kflop and Kanalog work for me?
I am converting an old Bridgeport Boss mill to PC control and servos. I will be using AMC or Copley +/-10V analog servo drives and Sanyo P5 servo motors, they have 2000 line quadrature encoders.

Hi Steve,
 
Yes that should work.  I believe the Sanyo P5's are brushless motors so the encoder signals will probably need to be connected to the servo drives to do the motor commutation and also to Kanalog so KFlop can close the position loop.
 
Another option would be to use KFlop + 2 SnapAmps to drive and commutate 3 or 4 Sanyo P5's directly.
 
Good luck and let us know if you have any questions.

Yes the P5's are brushless motors. I already have 20+ drives that I want to use with these so no snap amps at this time - good to know they will work for me if I needed them.
