Stepper.etch to control the position Brushless DC motors

Stepper.etch to control the position Brushless DC motors was created by Moreira
Hello,
I'm new to Linux CNC and I would like to control the position of a brushless DC motor + incremental encoder with the Maxon ESCON 50/5.
This driver requires the following signals: PWM and Direction, instead of a step and direction (stepper.etch).
I've read that I can use the pwm.gen (linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config/stepper.html) to generate the PWM signal.
Does anyone know if I can use the stepper.etch configurations to do this?
Also there is a BLDC component. Is this better?

Welcome,
The name is etch-servo and yes you can use it for that, but it looks like the drive does work also with other types of control signals, +-10V, +-4V, and digital inputs , so most probably it can work with step/dir signals.
Here is the link to the pdf
