Galil Motion Control, Inc.
PCI Bus
Motion Controllers
Galil offers both single and multi-axis
controller cards that install directly into
the commonly used PCI bus.The DMC-
18x0 Optima Series are full-featured PCI
bus controllers for one through eight axes,
which include optically isolated digital
inputs and uncommitted analog inputs.
The DMC-18x2 Econo Series are lower-cost
models for one through four axes and do
not include optical isolation, analog inputs
or dual encoder inputs.The DMC-1417 is
a single-axis PCI bus motion controller.
Complete specifications are included
in the following pages.
