Servomotor controller joins the network
Single-axis programmable controller is specially designed to servo third-party stepper motors creating a closed-loop stepper system.
QuickSilver has added a CAN option to its smallest (52 x 63mm footprint) most cost effective servomotor controller The CANbus can be configured for peer-to-peer, master or slave which allows the controllers to share I/O and registers with other CANopen enabled SilverDust controllers or third-party CANopen devices (such as I/O blocks, encoders, PLCs etc)

Addon expands servo controller I/O
Breakout provides access to power, communications and I/O lines on SilverDust servomotor controllers.
For a multiple-axis system, designers can connect several MG-Cs, make one the master and let the others receive motion commands over CAN.
This single-axis programmable controller is specially designed to servo third-party stepper motors creating a closed-loop stepper system.
It also includes serial communications (RS232, RS485) and seven I/O lines.
The RS232/RS485 serial network runs independently in parallel to CAN for supervisory control from a host (such as a PC, PLC or HMI).
The seven bidirectional I/O lines, 12-48V input power and communications signals are accessed through the DB15HD port and can be separated using one of QuickSilver's popular breakouts (QCI-BO-B, QCI-BO-B1, QCI-BO-B1A).
For 24V I/O operations, QuickSilver recommends the QCI-BO-B52 breakout.
