Meanwhile i found a driver that could fit my needs but i'm too late .The Argon Drive made by  Granite Devices can do step/dir and Analog+-10V but sadly is no longer in production.
I guess i will have to wait til next month and see what Leadshine come up with ,assuming the technician i talked to did not bullshit me.

About the Index sensor - Pocket sensor vs drive wheel sensor
This could be a design issue, but if I look at my geneva mechanism I think for indexing ideally you would want to detect the pin on the geneva drive wheel, so the drive wheel is fully locked in the geneva wheel.

If you detect just a pocket pin, the drive motor and drive pin will stop at the disengagement position of the pin, where the lobe takes over.
 

If I detect the drive pin on the drive wheel, it would allow for more error margin as the lobe is fully engaged.
But this would require both the index sensor and homing sensor to be high to complete initial homing.
Otherwise the first index move after homing could be false, depending on the direction.
 

What is the usual way to do this?
If I check the subroutines the M13 homing cycle is not considering the index sensor, only the homing sensor.

Maybe bind Index sensor to the Homing sensor input signal in HAL using AND2 ?
