Product Description
The DMC-12x0, 13x8, 16x0, and DMC-17x0 are Optima
motion controllers designed for multi-axis applications.
The controllers differ only in their communication inter-
face:DMC-12x0 is for PC/104; DMC-13x8 for VME; DMC-
16x0 for cPCI and DMC-17xx for ISA bus.For single axis
applications, Galil's Econo DMC-1410 (ISA), DMC-1411
(PC/104), DMC-1412 (RS232), or DMC-1417 (PCI) con-
trollers should be considered.
The controllers incorporate a 32-bit microcomputer
and provide such advanced features as PID compensa-
tion with velocity and acceleration feedforward,
programmable notch, program memory with multitask-
ing for simultaneously running up to eight applications
programs, and uncommitted I/O for synchronizing
motion with external events.They handle various modes
of motion including point-to-point positioning, jogging,
linear and circular interpolation, contouring, electronic
gearing and ECAM.Additionally, the controllers are user-
configurable for stepper or servo motor control on any
combination of axes.
Like all Galil controllers, the controllers use a simple,
English-like command language which makes them very
easy to program.Galil's WSDK servo design software fur-
ther simplifies system set-up with "one-button"servo
tuning and real-time display of position and velocity
information.Communication drivers are available for
DOS, Linux and all current Windows operating systems.

User-configurable for stepper or servo motors on any com-
bination of axes. Optional firmware for piezo-ceramic
motors. Sinusoidal commutation for brushless servo motors
12 MHz encoder frequencies for servos, 3 MHz for steppers
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, linear and circular interpolation, electronic
gearing and ECAM. Features ellipse scaling, slow-down
around corners, infinite segment feed and feedrate override
Over 200 English-like commands including conditional
statements and event triggers
Non-volatile memory for programs, variables and arrays.
Concurrent execution of up to eight application programs
Isolated home and forward and reverse limits accepted for
every axis. Isolation not available on the DMC-12x0
8 isolated uncommitted inputs and 8 outputs for 1- through
4-axes models, 24 in/16 out for 5- through 8-axis models.
Optical isolation not available on the DMC-12x0
High speed position latch for each axis and output compare
8 uncommitted analog inputs
Dual encoder inputs for each axis
DMC-13x8, DMC-16x0, and DMC-17x8 include 64 config-
urable I/O. Additional 64 I/O may be added on DMC-12x0
and DMC-17x0 using the DB-12064 or DB-14064 daughter
board
