Allen Bradley motors and drives was created by Popo
Looking for some advice on a build.  This is what I have.  Would this work?
2 - Allen Bradley N-3412-2 motors.
2 - Allen Bradley MPL-A310-MK22AA
3 - Allen Bradley Ultra 3000 drivers
I also have several Allen Bradley Logix 5561, logic 5550, and other hardware

Do I need Allen Bradley software to run the motors?

I have. A lot of experience with CNC routers and computers. I am a novice when it comes to programming but I am willing to learn. 

I am looking to build a 4x4 CNC with a spindle.

Had to dig this out of their website, so they might get p.o. but here it is
literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/gr...2098-in003_-en-p.pdf
Installation manual for the drives, do check the model and type though to be sure.
If that is the correct document, they do have step/dir inputs and use resolvers for feedback, a bit more time with the document would be needed to be sure what exactly is required for use.
One thing to makes things easier, if you know exactly what motor was wired to what drive, it would save a lot of time in tuning the drives to motors, and a lot easier later tuning in LinuxCNC.
