QuickSilver Makes Joystick Control Easy  QuickSilver Controls, Inc., line of controller/drivers for servo control of NEMA 17, 23 and 34 frame stepmotors accommodates a simple analog joystick input to control position, velocity or torque. Joysticks are useful for augmenting complex motion control systems for such things as computerized microscopes and vision systems. On the fly, the controller can switch from joystick control to automated control. An example would be using the joystick to pan around a product, pressing the button at several “interesting” points. The controller would be able to memorize these points and move back to them latter for a more detailed inspection.

QuickSilver Adds CAN to the SilverDust  QuickSilver Controls, Inc., adds CAN bus to its SilverDust™ IGB servo motion controller/driver for servo control of NEMA 17 and 23 frame stepmotors. The CANopen compatible interface is fully isolated and supports up to 64 devices on the 1MB bus. The addition of CANopen enhances the motion controller’s unique ability to servo microstep motors by allowing one servo to modify the motion of another servo. CANopen may be used to interface to other CANopen products (Master or Slave) or as a “local” bus for peer-to-peer register sharing for such things as encoder position, velocity, torque and I/O. The motion controller’s serial port (RS232 or RS485) is still available for interface to a host such as a PLC, HMI or PC.

Haydon Switch & Instrument Offers Its New DCS4020 Bipolar Chopper Drive  Haydon Switch & Instrument, Inc. (HSI), a leader in stepper motor based linear actuators, is pleased to introduce the new DCS4020 bipolar chopper drive, an extension of Haydon’s drive family of products. Haydon’s drive products are specially designed and built to deliver optimum performance, throughout a greater speed range. The new DCS4020 bipolar chopper drive has been designed for easy set up and use. It is ideal for development projects, just connect a single power supply and a motor and the drive is ready to run. Motor current is set using an on-board potentiometer. No external current setting resistors are required. This feature-packed drive provides all basic motor controls including full or half stepping of bipolar steppers, directional control, and output enable control. An oscillator circuit is standard on the drive with an on board speed control potentiometer. In addition, external input/output signals allow complete remote control of all drive functions. All electrical connectors have removable plugs incorporating screw type terminals.
