GraniteCore a.k.a. GC is the motor control core developed for [[Argon (servo drive)]].

==Argon architecture==
== GraniteCore variants ==
+
Due to underlying hardware differences, the GraniteCore has several variants that also have certain differences in functionality and parameterization.

GraniteCore major variant numbers such as G2.x together very similar from user perspective, however some differences exists and these are identified in parameter descriptions in [[Granity user guide]].
+
 
+
Note that GraniteCore variant is fixed to underlying hardware type, it is ''not'' same as firmware version and variant will not change in firmware upgrades.

===Benefits of the architecture===
+
*I/O side CPU has [[Argon open source firmware|open source firmware]] allowing end users to implement additional drivers for feedback devices and/or create stand-alone servo drive applications without external [[Controller]].
+
*Isolation between the processors is more cost efficient and flexible than isolation individual I/O signals directly to high voltage side (a typical solution in the market)
