SilverDust IGB – Servo Controller/Driver for Microstep Motors with 16 I/O

QuickSilver Controls, Inc., known for its ability to servo microstep motors, releases its most feature rich single axis controller/driver yet.  The SilverDust IGB, part of the SilverLode controller family, is designed to servo QuickSilver’s high torque NEMA 17 and NEMA 23 frame I-Grade motor/encoders and includes breakouts for power, communications and I/O. Closed loop control (servo) of a stepmotor provides all the accuracy of a traditional servomotor but with superior torque for applications up to a few thousand RPM and at a lower cost.

The IGB only uses a single cable for both motor and encoder signals. At 50’, the cable has minimal voltage drop and excellent noise rejection. This combined with the IGB’s new ability to upload encoder and motor information from the motor's on-board, non-volatile memory makes initialization as simple as plugging in the motor and pressing a button.

Other IGB Features:

• 12-48V DC Input Power
• Built-In Voltage Clamp and Power Resistor to dissipate excess power generated during rapid decelerations
• 16 5-24VDC, Isolated, Bi-Directional I/O
• 4 Analog Inputs
• 32K Non-Volatile Memory
• R2-232/485
• 100:1 Inertial Miss-Match
• PVIA™ Servo Loop
• Point To Point Moves
• Profile Moves
• Electronic Gearing/Camming
