EtherCat with LinuxCNC using 3/3 4.4kw and 1.5kw servo motors all 3 phase was created by hughcustoms

Hi All hope everyone is good.
So I am considering going the LinuxCNC with EtherCat route as opposed to a Inovance EtherCat Controller route.
So the Motors are as Follower
3 x 4.4KW Servo Motors from JSS Motor with a EtherCat Drivers 3phase Units
3 X 1.5KW Servo Motors from JSS Motors with EtherCat Drivers 3phase Units with Brake
Would like to know if it possible to configure LinuxCNC to work with these motors and drivers
I also have 12 Analog Inputs(Endstops proximity endstops)
Also have a 32Inch Touch Monitor

So first and foremost can I go the LinuxCNC route
what is the best recommendations

The controller doesn't care about the size of the motors, and there are many working EtherCAT systems out there running LinuxCNC.

You probably want to be running the master / dev version of LinuxCNC at the moment as there are various new features aimed at EtherCAT in there (for example the ability to run a initialisation step in the drivers as soon as realtime starts).
