Brother TC-211

It is a full functioning machine with a brother conversational control. As soon as I get some of the manual scanned I will post it here. Only 480 more pages to go

Since this is a low hp machine. 1.5 hp spindle. Is it possible to run the whole machine on a static phase Converter in the three to five hp range? Also any advice on how to start on tHis project cards etc would be helpful

Quite possibly. Have you checked that the input transformer isn't configurable for your mains voltage?
(What is your mains voltage?)

We can't really advise until we know what the control signals are from controller to drives. (and the other way too)

Machine is finally off the truck

The power is 230 3 phase.

I am looking in the manual for how the controller talks to the servos. I will get back with the info asap

I'm not sure if this is the needed info for the controller/servo. if not let me know, and a clue as to what I am looking for

It seams that your drives accept +-10V analog signals.
If the drives are in working conditions the retrofit will not be expensive or too much hard (well it will be easier)
I would recommend a 5i25 + 7i77 for the control of the servo motors. Probably a 7i74 and a 7i84 will be needed after if a lot of IO is needed (if you want to maintain the control with physical buttons, that I personally like).
