I would not recommend to buy a Syntec controller if you're planning on a retrofit.
Are you looking for a setup that can control servo motors for the motion of the machine? in that case i would opt for Linuxcnc with a MESA board, enabling analog control of the servo drives. If you are using a step/dir setup, i would opt for edingcnc/uccnc or the in US so popular MACH3 (the latter wouldn't be my personal choice though, but that's just an unbiased opinion, based on what is intuitive for my odd brain)
I have got 2 Chinese manuals for the controller (parameters and settings), which can be helpfull, but it's somewhat of a struggle if you can't read Chinese. The translation of Chinese to English is so-so..
