M OTI O N C O NTR O LLE R S LEGACY SERIES DMC-1500, 1300, 1000 DESCRIPTION Galil continues to support their Legacy Series of generalpurpose controllers—which is a prior generation of controllers with a widely installed base. However, Galil does recommend their newest generation of controllers, the Optima Series, for most new applications. The Legacy Series of controllers is available in ISA, VME and stand-alone formats in 1- through 8-axis configurations. Standard features such as uncommitted I/O, program memory with multitasking, dual encoder inputs per axis, and control of both stepper...

M OTI O N C O NTR O LLE R S LEGACY SERIES DMC-1500, 1300, 1000 COMMAND LANGUAGE APPLICATIONS PROGRAMMING Galil’s command language is comprised of intuitive, twoletter, English-like ASCII commands designed to make programming as quick and easy as possible. For example, the “BG” command begins motion while the “SP 2000, 4000” command sets the speed of the X-axis as “2000” and the Y-axis as “4000.” Commands are included for system set-up, tuning, prescribing motion, error handling and applications programming. A complete set of commands is described in the following table. Custom commands can...

M OTI O N C O NTR O LLE R S LEGACY SERIES DMC-1500, 1300, 1000 MODES OF MOTION Point-to-Point Motion Any combination of axes may be operated in the Point-toPoint Motion mode to allow the target position (PA or PR), slew speed (SP), acceleration (AC) and deceleration (DC) to be specified independently for each axis. Upon begin (BG), the controller generates a trapezoidal velocity profile where the speed and acceleration can be changed anytime during motion. For applications that require smooth motion without abrupt velocity transitions, a motion smoothing function (IT) is provided. The...

M OTI O N C O NTR O LLE R S LEGACY SERIES DMC-1500, 1300, 1000 Linear Interpolation The linear interpolation mode (LM) allows any arbitrary path on up to 8 axes to be defined as a set of linear segments (LI). The vector speed (VS), vector acceleration (VA), vector deceleration (VD), and vector smoothing (VT) are also defined. Up to 255 LI segments can be given prior to the start of motion and additional segments can be sent during motion allowing paths of unlimited length to be followed. Electronic Gearing The electronic gearing mode makes it easy for Galil controllers to simulate the...

M OTI O N C O NTR O LLE R S LEGACY SERIES DMC-1500, 1300, 1000 OTHER FEATURES Error Handling Dedicated I/O are provided for safety controls: forward and reverse limit inputs for each axis, home inputs for each axis, amplifier enable outputs for each axis, abort input and error output. In addition, the controller provides safety functions in software: upper and lower software travel limits, error limits, and automatic shut-off on excess error. Program interrupts are provided for error and limit conditions. The program interrupts cause the program sequencer to automatically branch to an error...
