Piloting a NUM drive

Good morning,
I have a small application that you could help me with perhaps: I have a NUM motor to be driven with an analog drive and a position display to drive the motor and table.
2.3 Nm, 0.7 kW, 3000 rpm.

Num no longer makes analog drives. I have 1Vpp feedback from a Heidenhain encoder, I need a drive control/readout display and the drive itself.

Is any datasheet available for that motor? The name doesn't make bells ring here.

Here it is.

If you expect any help from this forum for your industrial problem, you need to supply all possible documentation for all the devices. This is not a design service. What have you determined your Arduino needs to do for your project and do you think you can do it with a little advice?

By the way the motor is actually an industrial servo.

Yes, it's old and the documentation is not much. For me it was a big achievement having found that picture.
My goal is to position the motor to clear positions. So I need to read the encoder data, write an angle between 0 and 360 in a HMI panel (i'm open to suggestions) and see the motor moving. Of course I will need to tune the servo, but this is the next step.
Here's the encoder data.

Then that will be your first goal. You do not seem to understand that you are going to be the lead in this project.

Can you suggest me a device to convert to the signal

Can you be a bit more specific and descriptive?

I would say:

  • NUM Motor (2.3 Nm, 0.7 kW, 3000 rpm) – already available.
  • Heidenhain Encoder (1Vpp signal) – already available.

#Motor Drive: I've read something about Copley Controls, but not sure about this
#Controller: Maybe a Teensy 4.1, which has native DAC support
#Position Display: OLED or TFT screen but it Requires an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) to interpret the analog signals (no idea about the ADC suitable)
