Multi-Axis Motion Controller

Feb. 3, 2021
Galil Motion Control's new DMC-21x5 controller introduces a state-of-the-art ARM-based processor that improves its communication, command processing, and memory capabilities while staying at the same series price as its series predecessor, DMC-21x3.

The DMC-21x5 is the latest addition to the Econo family and is an upgrade path from the long running DMC-21x3 series, as the DMC-21x5 uses nearly all of the same peripherals as the DMC-21x3 controller. The main difference between the DMC-21x5 and its predecessor is a state-of-the-art ARM-based processor that places its communication, command processing, and memory capabilities on par with Galil’s line of current generation motion controllers, while still remaining at the Econo series price of the DMC-21x3. The DMC-21x5 is available in one through eight axis formats, where each axis is user-configurable for stepper or servo motor operation. Standard programming features include PID compensation with velocity and acceleration feed forward, multi-tasking for simultaneously running up to eight programs, and I/O processing for synchronizing motion with external events.
