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.
