Galil: Multi-Axis Motion Controller (DMC-18x6 Series)

Galil's multi-axis motion controllers are designed to provide the ultimate performance and flexibility for your application. The DMC-40x0 Series is Galil’s most advanced multi-axis motion control solution, while the DMC-41x3 Series is designed to provide the best value and performance that meets the needs of most applications. Each model operates stand-alone or is networked to a PC via Ethernet 100Base-T, RS232, or USB. Integrated drives for steppers and servos minimize space, cost, and wiring. Plenty of uncommitted I/O for synchronizing motion with external events.

PCI Multi-Axis Controllers, 1-8 axes

The DMC-18x6 motion controller is part of the family, Galil's highest performance PCI bus motion controller. It belongs to Galil's latest generation motion controller family: the DMC-40x0 Series, which accepts encoder inputs up to 22 MHz, provides servo update rates as high as 32 kHz, and processes commands as fast as 40 microseconds-10 times the speed of prior generation controllers.

The DMC-18x6 is a full-featured, PCI motion controller card. The DMC-18x6 is available in one through eight-axis formats, and each axis is user-configurable for stepper or servo motor operation. With a powerful RISC processor, the DMC-18x6 controllers provide such advanced features as PID compensation with velocity and acceleration feedforward, program memory with multitasking for simultaneously running eight applications programs, optically isolated digital I/O, and uncommitted analog inputs. Modes of motion include point-to-point positioning, position tracking, jogging, linear and circular interpolation, contouring, electronic gearing and ecam.

Like all Galil controllers, programming the DMC-18x6 is simplified with two-letter, intuitive commands and a full set of software tools such as GalilSuite for servo tuning and analysis.
