Galil Motion Control (Rocklin, CA) released the DMC-40x0 Ethernet/RS232 controller family as part of the Accelera line, coming in 1- to 8-axis formats. Accepting encoder input frequencies up to 22 MHz and providing servo update rates up to 32 kHz, the line can complete program instructions in 40 microseconds. The device operates in a standalone configuration or can be interfaced with a PC via the Ethernet 10/100Base-T or RS232 ports. Memory is up to 510 symbolic variables, 16,000 array elements in 30 arrays, and application program space up to 2,000 lines × 80 characters. Mode of motion capability includes: point-to-point positioning, position tracking, jogging, linear and circular interpolation, contouring, electronic gearing, and ECAM. Other features include isolated I/O, eight uncommitted analog inputs and outputs, and PID compensation.
