PCI Bus Econo Series, 1-4 axes Product Description The DMC-18x2 Series are PCI bus motion controllers for single and multi-axis applications.The Econo Series is designed for the most cost-sensitive applications. To minimize cost, the following features are not available on the DMC-18x2: five through eight axes of control, optical isolation on inputs, uncommitted analog inputs, dual encoder inputs, and the auxiliary FIFO and DPRAM communication channel. puter and provides advanced features such as PID compensation with velocity and acceleration feedfor- ward, memory with multitasking for simultaneously running up to eight programs, and uncommitted I/O for synchronizing motion with external events. Modes of motion include point-to-point positioning, jogging, linear and circular interpolation, contouring, electronic gearing, and electronic cam. Like all Galil controllers,the DMC-18x2 motor controllers use a simple, intuitive command language which makes them very easy to program. GalilTools software further simplifies system set-up with"one- button"servo tuning and real-time display of position ■ PCI card in I- through 4-axis versions: ■ User-configurable for stepper or servo motors on any combination of axes. Optional firmware for piezo-ceramic motors. Configurable for sinusoidal commutation ■ Accepts up to 12 MHz encoder frequencies for servos. Outputs up to 3 MHz for stepper motors ■ PID compensation with velocity and acceleration feedfor- ward, integration limits, notch filter and low-pass filter ■ Modes of'motion include jogging, point-to-pointposition- ing, contouring, linearandcircularinterpolation, electronic gearing and ECAM. Features elliptical scaling, slow-down around corners, infinite segment feed, and feedrate override ■ Over 200 English-like commands including conditional statements and event triggers ■ Non-volatile memory for programs, variables, and arrays. Multitasking for concurrent execution of up to eight ■ Home input and forward and reverse limits accepted for every axis ■ 8 uncommitted inputs and 8 outputs ■ High speed position latch for each axis and output compare ■ Expansion for 64 I/O with optional DB-14064 board M WO-pin SCSI connector. ICM-2900 breaks-out 100-pin cable into screw terminals ■ AMP-19540 connects to PCI controller with 100-pin cable and provides four amplifiers for 500 W servos ■ Communication drivers for Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux ■ Custom hardware and firmware options available www.galilmc.com / Galil Motion Control, Inc. 1
