Are you convinced that those drivers are accepting Step and dir signals ?
I saw some posts that those needs 0-10v input…

Hi,

Maybe you can change the parameters of the drives to accept pulses instead of an analog signal.
I know that it is definitely possible for Omron Accurax G5 and Yaskawa Sigma II drives but i don’t know you Fanuc drives.
Check the manual for details!
