Open loop operation added to servo
controller
To make putting together open loop systems easier, QCI now sells its stepmotors and cabling for open loop operation
QuickSilver Controls has added open loop operation to its servo controller, the SilverDust For many years QuickSilver has produced servo controllers for microstep motors: now it has optimised the SilverDust to also operate a stepmotor in the traditional open loop configuration
Open loop operation is ideal for slower applications that do not require encoder feedback.
SilverDust provides a powerful controller without the expense of an encoder and sophisticated cable, at a saving of about $100 (list).
