Servo Driver Plasma Retrofit was created by kn612
I am looking for some guidance on switching my plasma table from hypertherm controls with servo motors/drivers to linuxcnc. I have retrofitted my other plasma table that uses steppers to qtplasmac/mesa hardware, however the servo wiring is beyond me. The current hypertherm controls cuts fine, however the microedge has been spontaneously rebooting and unreliable.I have a thcad 5 and thcad 10 already on hand, after reading around, I believe a mesa 7i97t is what I need? Either way I am unsure of the wiring that needs done. I apologize for my incompetence and am willing to learn. I really like the qtplasmac interface over hypertherms softwareI attached pictures of the hardware. Would it be possible to leave the pcb that the servo drivers connect to on the back panel and replace the microedge controller with some mesa hardware and the needed power supplies and linux computer?

Look like analog servos so a 7I97T is probably a good choice.
As far as wiring goes, do you have a schematic of the interface PCB?
