Compact Servo Motor Controller
SilverDust IG8 (QCI-D2-IG8)
November 2006
QuickSilver Controls, Inc. responds to industry's demand for low cost network support with its newest single axis controller/driver. The SilverDust IG8 communication options include RS232, RS485, CANopen® and Ethernet. This multi-channel architecture allows for a network of field devices using CANopen® to work simultaneously with a supervisory network using RS232, RS485 or Ethernet.
The SilverDust IG8, part of the SilverLode controller family, is designed to servo, QuickSilver’s high torque NEMA 17 and NEMA 23 frame I-Grade servo 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 servo motor at a lower cost and with superior torque for applications up to 2000 RPM (depending on model).
The IG8 only uses a single cable for both motor and encoder signals. At 50’, the cable has minimal voltage drop and excellent noise rejection.
