That's a good idea. You should write down what you want to do and send it to one of the emc mailing lists. There are lots of experienced people there who might have valuable things to comment and suggest.
what kind of hardware is needed in the servodrive end to be able to receive and transmit on ethernet (I'm guessing UDP packets?)
would it requre one network card per motion axis, or could many axes share one network port ? (100/1000 MBit hub in-between ?)
