System is ideal for dusty environments
QuickSilver provides servo control of a 17 or 23 frame micro step motor utilizing a single cable for both motor and encoder signals.
Servo control even in dusty environments
QuickSilver provides servo control of a 17 or 23 frame micro step motor utilizing a single cable for both motor and encoder signals.
CANopen can be configured for peer-to-peer, master or slave which allows the controllers to share I/O with other CANopen enabled SilverDust controllers or 3rd party CANopen devices (ie I/O blocks, encoders,.).
The RS-232/RS-485 serial network runs in parallel to CANopen for supervisory control from a host (ie PC, PLC, HMI)...
For a multi-axis system, connect several IGCs, make one the master and let the others receive motion commands over CANopen.
If more I/O or ethernet are needed, upgrade the master to one of our more powerful controllers.
With the IGC it is easy and inexpensive to create a scalable, multi-axis network.
The IGC is designed to servo QuickSilver's NEMA 17 and NEMA 23 frame I-Grade servo motors and includes breakouts for power and communications.
The 7 bi-directional I/O can be broken out using one of our popular basic breakouts (QCI-BO-B, QCI-BO-B1, QCI-BO-B1A) or, if 24V I/O is needed, using the QCI-BO-B52.
At $960 for the IGC controller, cable and 120 oz-in (continuous) motor, the IGC is hard to beat.
Other IGC Features: 12-48V DC Input Power, 100:1 Inertial Miss-Match, Built-In Voltage Clamp/Braking Resistor, PVIA Servo Loop, 7 TTL, Bi-Directional I/O, Point To Point Moves.
For 24V use QCI-BO-B52: 4 Analog Inputs, Profile Moves, 32K Non-Volatile Memory, Electronic Gearing/Camming, R2-232/485,CAN, Multiple Thread Programming, Driver Enable.
