Hi,

I'm assuming that you want to measure speed and direction on the 30 
servos. This would require 60 inputs (A & B), If you do an new FPGA 
load you could read 8 servos with the base 7300. 16 if you don't use 
the VGA output.

I would therefore look at using a FPGA PC/104 card or interface a 
number of encoder ICs to the PC/104 bus. A further option would be to 
sample the quadrature channels at high speed with a chip select for 
each encoder. if you could read the inputs fast enough you could get 
simultaneous sampling over a larger number of channels, but this 
would need a FPGA expert to work out.

Regards,

PJE
