Are you using the existing amplifiers? If so, do they have a power supply
already?


I do not yet know. I have existing amplifiers, and also three AMC
amplifiers that I bought inexpensively.

I am not sure how I wuold figure out the wiring for existing
amplifiers, but there is a chance that I can do so.

The hope that I have in gutting the existing stuff, is that I can also
switch to single phase and end up with a system that I understand.

On my EMC2 conversion I was able to use the existing amplifiers, servos,
encoders, power supply, I just changed the control, saved some money. Looks
like you have some hopefully good encoders on the way, especially if they
fit where the old encoders were.


I hope so.
