Product Description

nnnn

The DMC-18x2 Series are PCI bus motion controllers for

nnnn

single and multi-axis applications.The Econo Series is

nnnn

designed for the most cost-sensitive applications.

nnnn

To minimize cost, the following features are not

nnnn

available on the DMC-18x2: five through eight axes

nnnn

of control, optical isolation on inputs, uncommitted

nnnn

analog inputs, dual encoder inputs, and the auxiliary

nnnn

FIFO and DPRAM communication channel.

nnnn

The DMC-18x2 incorporates a 32-bit microcom-

nnnn

puter and provides advanced features such as PID

nnnn

compensation with velocity and acceleration feedfor-

nnnn

ward, memory with multitasking for simultaneously

nnnn

running up to eight programs, and uncommitted

nnnn

I/O for synchronizing motion with external events.

nnnn

Modes of motion include point-to-point positioning,

nnnn

jogging, linear and circular interpolation, contouring,

nnnn

electronic gearing, and electronic cam.

nnnn

Like all Galil controllers,the DMC-18x2 motor

nnnn

controllers use a simple, intuitive command language

nnnn

which makes them very easy to program. GalilTools

nnnn

software further simplifies system set-up with"one-

nnnn

button"servo tuning and real-time display of position

nnnn

and velocity information.

Features

nnnn

■ PCI card in I- through 4-axis versions:

nnnn

DMC- 18x2 where x= 1,2,3,4 axes

nnnn

■ User-configurable for stepper or servo motors on any

nnnn

combination of axes. Optional firmware for piezo-ceramic

nnnn

motors. Configurable for sinusoidal commutation

nnnn

■ Accepts up to 12 MHz encoder frequencies for servos.

nnnn

Outputs up to 3 MHz for stepper motors

nnnn

■ PID compensation with velocity and acceleration feedfor-

nnnn

ward, integration limits, notch filter and low-pass filter

nnnn

■ Modes of'motion include jogging, point-to-pointposition-

nnnn

ing, contouring, linearandcircularinterpolation, electronic

nnnn

gearing and ECAM. Features elliptical scaling, slow-down

nnnn

around corners, infinite segment feed, and feedrate override

nnnn

■ Over 200 English-like commands including conditional

nnnn

statements and event triggers

nnnn

■ Non-volatile memory for programs, variables, and arrays.

nnnn

Multitasking for concurrent execution of up to eight

nnnn

programs

nnnn

■ Home input and forward and reverse limits accepted for

nnnn

every axis

nnnn

■ 8 uncommitted inputs and 8 outputs

nnnn

■ High speed position latch for each axis and output compare

nnnn

■ Expansion for 64 I/O with optional DB-14064 board

nnnn

M WO-pin SCSI connector. ICM-2900 breaks-out 100-pin

nnnn

cable into screw terminals

nnnn

■ AMP-19540 connects to PCI controller with 100-pin cable

nnnn

and provides four amplifiers for 500 W servos

nnnn
