DMC-40x0 Series-1

Ethernet/RS232 Accelera Series, 1– 8 axes DMC-40x0 Series DMC-4040 4-axis and DMC-4080 8-axis controllers The DMC-40x0 is Galil’s highest performance, standalone motor controller. It belongs to Galil’s latest generation motion controller family: the Accelera Series, which accepts encoder inputs up to 22 MHz, provides servo update rates as high as 32 kHz, and processes commands in as fast as 40 microseconds—10 times faster than prior generation controllers. The DMC-40x0 is a full-featured motion controller packaged with optional multi-axis drives in a compact, metal enclosure. The unit operates stand-alone or interfaces to a PC with Ethernet 10/100Base-T or RS232. The controller includes optically isolated I/O, high-power outputs capable of driving brakes or relays, and analog inputs for interfacing to analog sensors. The DMC-40x0 controller and drive unit accepts power from a single 20–80 VDC source. The DMC-40x0 is available in one through eight axis formats, and each axis is user-configurable for stepper or servo motor operation. Standard programming features include PID compensation with velocity and acceleration feedforward, multitasking for simultaneously running up to eight programs, and I/O processing for synchronizing motion with external events. Modes of motion include point-to-point positioning, position tracking, jogging, linear and circular interpolation, PVT, contouring, electronic gearing and electronic cam (ECAM). Like all Galil controllers, the DMC-40x0 controllers use Galil’s popular, intuitive command language, making them very easy to program. GalilTools servo design software further simplifies system set-up with “one-button” servo tuning and real-time display of position and velocity information.
