PCI Bus Accelera Series, 1-8 axes Product Description The DMC-18x6 PCI bus motor controllers belong to Galil's latest generation motion controller family: the Accelera Series. Incorporating a 32-bit RISC-based microcomputer, these controllers offer high-speed performance and processing power. Speed improve- ments include acceptance of encoder inputs up to 22 MHz, servo update rates as low as 31 microsec- onds/axis, and command execution times as low as 40 microseconds. While the DMC-18x6 offers DMC-1886 performance enhancements compared to prior and DMC-1846 generation PCI controllers, the programming lan- same, making conversion able in one through eight- axis formats, and each axis is per or servo motor opera- tion.The controller includes optically isolated inputs including a forward limit, reverse limit and home input for each axis, in addition to uncommitted analog and digital I/O. Up to two encoders are accepted for each servo axis. Standard programming features include PID compensation with velocity and acceleration feedfor- ward, multitasking for simultaneously running up to eight programs, and I/O processing commands for synchronizing motion with external events. Modes of motion include point-to-point positioning, position tracking, jogging, linear and circular interpolation, contouring, PVT, electronic gearing and ECAM. Like all Galil controllers,the DMC-18x6 controllers use Gain's popular, intuitive command language which makes them very easy to program.The new GalilTools soft- ware further simplifies system set-up with"one-but- ton" servo tuning and real-time display of position and velocity information. ■ PCI card in 1 through 8 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 22 MHz encoder frequencies for servos. ■ PID compensation with velocity and acceleration feedfor- ward, integration limits, notch filter and low-pass filter ■ Modes of motion include jogging, point-to-point position- ing, contouring, PVT, linear and circular interpolation, electronic gearing and electronic cam. Features elliptical scaling, slow-down around corners, infinite segment feed ■ 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 ■ Optically isolated home input and forward and reverse end-of-travel limits accepted for every axis. ■ 1- through 4-axis: 8 isolated inputs and 8 outputs 5- through 8-axis: 16 isolated inputs, 16 outputs, ■ High speed position latch for each axis and output compare ■ 8 uncommitted analog inputs ■ Dual encoder inputs for each servo axis ■ Expansion for 64 I/O with optional DB-14064 board ■ 100-pin SCSI connectors for each set of 4 axes. ICM-2900 or ICM-1900 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
