Galil Introduces Latest Single Axis Motion Controller

The DMC-3x01x Motion Controller Series is Galil's latest generation single-axis motion controller. It uses a 32-bit RISC processor to provide higher speed than older models.  Like all Galil controllers, programming the DMC-3x01x is simplified with two-letter, intuitive commands and a full set of software tools for servo tuning and analysis. 

The Motion Controller is available as a compact card-level or box-level unit. It connects to a stepper or servomotor amplifier of any power range. It can be purchased with an internal 800-Watt brushless sine drive or microstepping drive minimizing space, cost, and wiring. Modes of motion include point to point positioning, position tracking, jogging, contouring, electronic gearing and ecam.

Features include:

Two daisy-chainable Ethernet 100 Base-T ports. One 115kbaud RS232 port

Ethernet supports multiple masters and slaves. TCP/IP, UDP and Modbus TCP master protocol for communication with I/O devices

Encoder feedback up to 15 MHz. Quadrature standard. SSI and BiSS encoder option (SER). Sinusoidal Encoder option (DMC-31xxx). Main and auxiliary encoder inputs

Non-volatile memory for programs, variables, and arrays.

Concurrent execution of four programs.

Optically isolated forward and reverse limit inputs and homing inputs

8 uncommitted, isolated inputs and 4 isolated outputs

High speed position latch and output compare

2 uncommitted 12bit 0-5V analog inputs (16bit ±10V inputs on DMC-31xxx) and 1 uncommitted analog output

Standard power input is +/-12V and 5V. Controller available with optional DC-DC converter with 9-48VDC single supply input. (Option for 20-80 VDC).
