Page 2--E-Series Ethernet controllers
Galil's DMC-3425 is the first controller introduced as part of the E-Series.
Available for immediate shipment, the two-axis controller sells for $695.00 in single
quantity and lowers to $445.00 in quantities of 100.
"By linking multiple DMC-3425 controllers on the Ethernet, the result is a highly
versatile and powerful form of distributed control," adds Lisa Wade, VP-Sales and
Marketing. "For example, a major advantage of the DMC-3425 over traditional single-
axis distributed controllers is that the host computer is not burdened with the daunting
task of coordinating between axes and synchronizing various control tasks. All those
multiple communications links between the host and each controller are eliminated with
the E-Series solution."
Each DMC-3425 precisely controls two servomotors and provides ECAM,
gearing and both linear and circular interpolation for coordinated motion along the two
local axes. Other standard features include non-volatile program memory, variables and
arrays, multitasking, and PID filtering with notch and feed forward parameters. I/O
features include three uncommitted digital inputs and outputs, two uncommitted analog
inputs, I/O expansion to 64 points, forward and reverse limits and a home input. Each
DMC-3425 controls two servo motors with encoder frequencies up to 12MHz or one
servo and one stepper motor up to 3 MHz. The controller is a compact 3.75" x 5.0", and
connections are made with a single 37-pin D type connector.
