It looks like I need interpolators.
Does something like Heidenhain EXE 602 work?

I recieved the Mesa boards yesterday (wednesday) and I ordered monday. Very fast!
I have started removing parts of the old control system and labeling cables. I also 3-D printed an holder for the cards EXE boxes are also on the way.
I'v read the manual of the card and I don't really understand what can of signal the board outputs. I will power the field with 24VDC. Is the enable output for each motor +24VDC when high? And can it be used to power a relay. The existing enable circuit goes through a relay, so if I activate the relay I have the motor enabled. I hope to use the existing circuit.

On the 7i77, the 16 output pins will be 24v when on if you power the field with 24v.
The axis enable pins are potential free. You need to feed one of the two ENA pins with a dc voltage, which is available on its mate when turned on on the software. Note the polarity, it is described in the manual.
Ena 0 through 4 is switched on together, cannot be controlled indi idually. ENA5 is meant for the spindle and can be co trolled seperately from the rest

After some struggle with the ethernet on the Mesa 7i94 i finally got it working with the computer
Only to find out that I cant find 7i94 in pncconf. Not really sure what to do now and how to setup.
