This is almost a religious question, and many may avoid offering their own personal opinion. My vote is for analog. But in truth both can work equally well, and each have advantages and disadvantages. Digital positioning, may be cheaper to implement, if the cost of "smart" servo drives is not in the equation.

It uses some Panasonic MCDHT3520 servo drives. These drives has a pulsed input for position and an analog +- 10v input for velocity mode. The question is what mode is better to use with LCNC and Mesa cards, velocity or position? I will use one of the Ethernet solutions from Mesa with a panel PC. ----------------------------- Regards / Groete Marius D.
