New Motion Controller Series with Ethernet

The motion controller is available in one through eight axis formats, and each axis is user-configurable for stepper or servo-motor operation. The controller can be connected with external drives of any power range or with the company's multi-axis (500W per axis) servo drives or 60V, 3A micro-stepping drives; the drives install directly onto the DMC-41x3 controller.  "Compared to the older DMC-21x3 Econo Ethernet controller, the new DMC-41x3 offers many speed improvements and can accept a encoder inputs up to 15 MHz and close-the-loop as fast as 62 microseconds," Lisa Wade, vice president, sales and marketing, Galil Motion Control, Inc.  Standard I/O for the controller includes 16 optically, isolated inputs and outputs for the 1-4 axis models and 32 I/O for the 5-8 axis models. Other controller features are PID compensation with velocity and acceleration feedforward, memory for user programs, multitasking for simultaneously running up to eight programs and I/O processing for synchronizing motion with external events. The controllers are programmed with the company's 2-letter command language. Galil Motion Control, Inc.www.galilmc.com
