EtherCAT i/o board for spindle, estop and mpg

I'm assembling a machine on EtherCAT. All the mechanics are ready, checked on stepper motors while the servo motors are still on the way. But the spindle is available and there was a question of connecting it. The speed can be controlled by 0-10 volts or PWM. Plus, I need to connect Estop and MPG. I'm considering the following options:

1. Since I have a computer with two network ports, I can connect RP2040 via Ethernet to one of them. Cheap and angry, but I would like to do everything on one technology.

2. Noname EtherCAT i/o board from Ali Express (but which one?)

3. Beckhoff EK1828 coupler with 4 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs.  www.beckhoff.com/en-en/products/i-o/ethe...-coupler/ek1828.html  But is it possible to issue a computer-generated PWM signal through it and receive feedback from the spindle about the speed?

I would like to do with one device that covers all needs except servos. What are your recommendations, colleagues?

You need el5102 module with two encoder interfaces, one for spindle and one for handwheel AB phase

I think this would be a good I/O module but you would need to create the generic xml which is not hard There may be an xml file here somewhere.

Yes, I can assemble everything I need using Beckhoff modules, but it will be very expensive.

Could you please write the name and model? There is no product at the link.

In case anyone needs it, here is the current link to the product:
aliexpress.ru/item/1005007328938566.html

And also attached the archive with documentation I found:
www.gzyanwei.com/upload/Files/2022/11/21/Ecat-IO_V2.zip

This board has one input for the encoder and two inputs for counters. The first input will definitely be occupied by the spindle. Do you think it is possible to use the counter input for the MPG?

I thought so but not sure how that maps to A+ and B+

The encoder input of this card is in the form of a counter. There is no AB phase input. I have studied it before and gave up. Now I use the rv901 fpga card with six encoder inputs and more than a dozen input and output
