I'm rewriting someone else's mess of a program. So I have most of the hardware here at home/shop. But the fly in the ointment is the GS2 drive I have (not the AB drive in use) Seems the AB stuff likes to do the +/- 10V for speed/direction while the GS2 wants the 0-10V and then a discrete input for direction. Did I read the GS2 manual wrong and it will take -10 through + 10V on the analog input? I could make a small inverter to give a positive voltage and then send a signal to the direction pin. but rather not. The AB hardware is: a SLC 505, 1746-HSRV servo module and its termination panel. I'd like to just go with a couple DL06's for the project, but the hardware is already on site/in use (and the AB software is a lot better to work with on larger programs)

Though not exactly what you want check out Example 3 on page 4-37 of the GS2 manual. If you can shift the -10/+10 signal to a 0/+10 range you may be able to use this example.
