    Servo Motor Control Methods

    Hi,
    I am building a machine other than a 3D printer, like an electric press. The best one for this application is the torque control mode provided by a servo, the controller I use is here: https://www.oyostepper.com/goods-110...oder-IP65.html
    (I need the engine to do something like press then return emergency stop, loop but with counted loops etc. I just want to use duo because of DWC)
    Something to organize:
    DUET 3 MINI 5+, 2pcs 1XD, SBC mode with RPI4


    Using the standard step/direction mode I run it smoothly like a 3D printer and created some macros for alarms etc.
    My first attempt was to use the analog inputs on the servo and use some converters from the Duet (control torque like a fan PWM and then convert it to 0-10V). But after ordering the servo drive I found out that the servo drive has no physical analog inputs. Only internal setpoints or external communication via RS485.
    I found a TTL (Duo supported) to RS485 converter.


    Now I have two questions:


    Is there an easy way to communicate with this servo drive, set up RS485 communication and then use the commands mentioned in the Servo Drive Guide, just send commands in DWC or use macros to use the servo.


    How to use the simple torque mode and parameter settings in the Motion Studio provided by T6 Servo, I tried to find something but there seems to be very little about this in the manual, maybe I would program the servo drive for 1 cycle and then send it a double signal digitally to cause a cycle or partial motion.
