Galil's E-Series controllers use Ethernet technology
to keep the user from becoming burdened with
complex wiring, the result of connecting
every signal to the central controller.
Galil's E-Series
provides several
advantages over
typical single-
axis distributed
controllers.
Minimizes the complex host computer programming typical of distributed
control systems
Enables a single controller to act as the "master" over multiple "slave"
controllers, eliminating separate communication channels between the
host and each controller
Reduces cost and complexity by allowing each controller to control
two motors
Frees the host from motion coordination tasks as each local two-axis
controller provides linear and circular interpolation
Acts as a virtual multi-axis controller, allowing the host to command
up to eight axes at once
Galil's E-Series controllers use Ethernet technology
to keep the user from becoming burdened with
complex wiring, the result of connecting
every signal to the central controller.
Traditional single-axis distributed controllers typically burden the
host PC with the task of coordinating between axes and synchronizing
various control tasks. Now, such problems are eliminated by Galil's
DMC-3425, the first controller in the E-Series. It combines two axes
on a single controller and allows a "master" controller to take on
the task of communicating with the other controllers in the network.
This essentially frees the host computer to handle other applications.
