Latest DMC-4000 Series Multi-Axis Motion Controllers Offer Servo Update Rates as High as 32 kHz
Press Release Summary:
The DMC-4000 Series Multi-Axis Motion Controllers are available in one through eight-axis formats. The controller is embedded with RISC processor that offers PID compensation with velocity and acceleration feed forward. It accepts encoder inputs up to 22 MHz and processes commands as fast as 40 microseconds. The device interfaces with PC with Ethernet 10/100Base-T or RS232. The unit features point-to-point positioning, position tracking, jogging, linear and circular interpolation, contouring and electronic gearing modes of motion.
Original Press Release:
Galil DMC-40x0 Series Programmable Motion Controller for Servo and Stepper Motors
Galil’s DMC-4000 Series of Ethernet/RS232 Multi-Axis Motion Controllers set the standard for high performance and value
The DMC-40x0 motion controller is Galil's highest performance, stand-alone motion controller. It belongs to Galil's latest generation motion controller family, 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-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. With a powerful RISC processor, the DMC-40x0 controllers provide such advanced features as PID compensation with velocity and acceleration feedforward, program memory with multitasking for simultaneously running eight applications programs, and uncommitted I/O for synchronizing motion with external events. 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-40x0 is simplified with two-letter, intuitive commands and a full set of software tools such as GDK for servo tuning and analysis.
