I don't know exactly your question, but I assume you have a G-5500 controller, and one Elevation and one G-1000, and you would like to control both from the G-5500 control box.
The G-1000 DXA is probably (nearly certainly) a DC motor, while that control box expects and AC motor so outputs AC to the motor.
All is not lost. Assuming the G-1000 has a potentiometer feedback, you could probably get the control box to turn on some relays with AC coils, which in turn would switch on a DC supply with forward or reverse, and you can keep the same feedback. Another option may be to open the control box, and disconnect the AC for azimuth, and try connect to a separate DC supply.
The manuals for the controllers are available on line. If you need me to draw a diagram I can do so. I have used a DC actuator for elevation which is a similar set up to your DC motor for azimuth.

All:
I have an old Yaesu G-500A elevation rotator and a refurbished Yaesu G-1000 DXA azimuth rotator that I'd like to use with a G-5500 controller.
I suspect the controller will work with the G-500A right out of the box, but I don't know about the G-1000 DXA.
Any ideas?
