I have had good luck with a Motrona SI251. It converts sin/cos to quadrature. It has many settings and works quite well for reading a fanuc spindle motor encoder. I think Motrona has a few different types of converters. https://www.motrona.com/en/products/signal-converters.html On Tue, Jun 14,

I'm working with Pere/Petter Reinholdtsen on converting his Mazak 15/40. It looks like a great machine, capable and compact, but we've run in to a bit of an issue. The machine has servos with resolvers, but the resolvers only connect to the servo amps, not to the controller. The are
