I have a machine set up using a servo and drive. The encoder is wired to the servo drive and then the encoder simulation on the drive is wired to the camsoft breakout box(ICM2900).

If I go to a DC motor and an external encoder (one that is not an integral part of the dc drive), do I wire the encoder directly to the camsoft breakout box?

Thanks,

Yes. The encoder goes directly to the motion card (via the ICM2900).

Just the answer I wanted.

Thank you very much,
