I have a Galil DMC-1842 control card with a 2900 I/O board, I'm trying to use it with a old WestAmp A6513-10E-304. The amps have built-in compensation and tuning circuits, adjusted using multi-turn potentiometers. When I power up the Servo Amps, they start moving. Here is a screen shot (via my phone lol) that shows the Motor position and reference position, could this be causing the moment? or is it because I have the servo or encoder wired wrong? The servos move pretty slow.

There is a thread that I found that talks about this but the thread is locked and is VERY old.

Wilde Racing-
The Galil controller has built in tuning circuits. Any amplifier that is connected should be in torque/current mode where the +-10V signal is a reference for immediate torque. The controller will take care of profiling and minimizing the error but if the tuning circuits on the amp are active it will most likely cause problems.
I do not quite understand your question. From the picture I can see that the motors are not moving and there is more error but nothing looks amiss.
Your issue may be because the amp is not in torque mode. Can you send me an email with the amplifier data sheet.
