Quicksilver extends controller/driver range

A Quicksilver Controls product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jan 20, 2009

Quicksilver Controls has added CANopen DSP 402 (CiA DSP 402 v3.0) to its line of controller/drivers for NEMA 11, 17 and 23 frame brushless servo motors.

CiA 402 can be used on any Silverdust programmable servo motor controller that supports CANopen by downloading a special file.

CiA 402 refers to CAN in Automation (CiA) CANopen Drives and Motion Control Profile 402.

This profile defines such functions as startup and homing techniques, as well as motion profiles.

A host controller, for example a PLC, supporting CiA 402 could command multiple CiA 402 motor controllers from multiple vendors.

CiA 402 runs on top of CANopen (CiA DSP 302 v4.0), which may be configured for peer-to-peer, master or slave.

This 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 and PLCs.
