Hurco Hawk 5M Retrofit w/ existing motors

Well, I got a set of schematics from a very helpful gentleman at Hurco that has allowed me to finish the wiring on the servos and their controllers. Everything on the hardware side is ready for a bench test, I've got everything wired to Encoder 0 on TB3 and Driver 0 on TB5. I just can't make heads nor tails of the pncconf names for the pins. I'm stuck on this step: linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config/pncconf.html#_mesa_i_o_setup

When you start pncconf and get to the "Mesa Card 0" page, select:
"5i25-Internal Data"
and
"7i77x2 With One 7i77"
and then
"Accept Component Changes"

And the pin names should make more sense

Thank you very much for the fast reply. That's what I had done. on i/o connector 3 tab, I have Muxed Enc 0 set to X Encoder but I have no idea what X HALL and X Grey are. It keeps telling me to configure pwm or stepper signals.
Edit: Nevermind It wasn't showing all the pins because I told it I only had one encoder and one drive, it shows up now. I'm on the open loop test now trying to get it to move the servo.

Your picture showed that you have the wrong card and firmware selected (5I20 and SVST4_8)
did you skip the "Accept Component Changes" step?

that link just points to the linuxcnc documentation page that I was working through to get this up and going. I have the 5i25 and 7i77 with the 7i77x2 firmware installed and verified. I can use the cli to toggle the LEDs on the card so I know I am communicating with it. I went back and made sure I clicked Accept Componet Changes which gives me a connector 2, connector 3, 7i77i/o, and 7i77 pwm tab. I selected the encoder and output. Still not getting any movement though, I'm completely lost at this point. I was trying to follow the documentation to avoid asking so many questions but I'm stuck.

Before even connecting the 7I77 I would verify that you can move the motors with a 1.5V battery
(with the drives enabled) If this doesn't work you need to find out why before proceeding
