Hi Nicklas,
On my system I designed a number of interface boards.   I started with the 
HP_UHU DC Servo Drivers for the XY axis, a Gecko for the knee and the STMBL for 
the harmonic drive 4th axis.  Turns out one of the DC servos had a problem and 
by the time I discovered that it was way past warranty.  The Gecko self 
destructed due to corrosion on the screw terminals and excess heat.  The 
casting for the harmonic drive isn't done yet so although the STMBL works it's 
not really been used.

I switched over to Bergerda AC servos and couldn't be happier.  Both with 
performance, cost and direct factory support.  But they needed different 
interfaces from the PMDX-126 and MESA 7i92H.  So made new ones as shown in the 
attached photo.  Although the Bergerda AC Servo spindle interface was initially 
done with PWM 0-10V ultimately I switched to Step/Dir.

And had I not done all these drawings I likely would have wired it up and not 
updated any sort of sheets.  This way I had to clean up drawings.  Forced me to 
be more anal.
