Introducing the Accelera Series Motion Controller
The Accelera Series Motion Controller is Galil's highest performance motion controller for speed and processing power. Available in PCI and Stand-Alone versions, the Accellera Series accepts up to 22 MHz encoder frequencies for servos and output pulses for steppers at 6 MHz.

DMC-4000
Stand-Alone 1-Thru-8 Axis
Accellera Series Motion Controller
The DMC-40x0 motion controller is Galil's highest performance, stand-alone motion controller. It belongs to Galil's latest generation motion controller family: the Accelera Series, which accepts encoder inputs up to 22 MHz, provides servo update rates as high as 32 kHz, and processes commands as fast as 40 microseconds-10 times the speed of prior generation controllers.
The DMC-40x0 is a full-featured motion controller packaged with optional multi-axis drives in a compact, metal enclosure. The unit operates stand-alone or interfaces to a PC with Ethernet 10/100Base-T or RS232. The controller includes optically isolated I/O, high-power outputs capable of driving brakes or relays, and analog inputs for interfacing to analog sensors. The DMC-40x0 controller and drive unit accepts power from a single 20-80 VDC source. The DMC-40x0 is available in one through eight-axis formats, and each axis is user-configurable for stepper or servo motor operation.
Like all Galil controllers, programming the DMC-40x0 is simplified with two-letter, intuitive commands and a full set of software tools such as WSDK for servo tuning and analysis, and an ActiveX Tool Kit for Visual Basic users.

DMC-18x6
PCI 1-Thru-8 Axis
Accellera Series Motion Controller
The DMC-18x6 PCI bus controllers belong to Galil's latest generation motion controller family: the Accelera Series. Incorporating a 32-bit Risc-based microcomputer, these new controllers offer high-speed performance and processing power. Speed improvements include acceptance of encoder inputs up to 22 MHz, servo update rates as low as 24 microseconds/axis, and command execution speeds as low as 40 microseconds. While the DMC-18x6 offers performance enhancements compared to prior generation controllers, the programming language and 100-pin SCSI connector are virtually the same, making conversion to the DMC-18x6 quick and easy.
Like all Galil controllers, programming the DMC-18x6 is simplified with two-letter, intuitive commands and a full set of software tools such as WSDK for servo tuning and analysis, and an ActiveX Tool Kit for Visual Basic users.

Low inductance servo amp now available for Galil DMC-21x3 Ethernet motion controllers
Galil has introduced its new AMP-20542 Low Inductance Servo Amplifier for the popular DMC-21x3 series of Ethernet motion controllers. The AMP-20542, like all Galil plug-in boards, attaches directly to the 96-pin connector of the DMC-21x3, eliminating the need for any cabling.
The AMP-20542 contains four transconductance, PWM amplifiers for driving small, low-inductance brush or brushless servomotors. Each amplifier operates at 18-60 VDC at up to 3.3A continuous, 5A peak. Additionally, the drive for each axis is software configurable so that it can operate in a chopper or inverter mode. The AMP-20542 also guards against over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current and short-circuit.
Galil's DMC-21x3 controller series delivers 1-8 axis control of step or servomotors in any combination of axis. It also features 10-BaseT communications with RS232 port. The DMC-21x3 also has the ability to program such modes of motion as point-to-point positioning, jogging, linear and circular interpolation, electronic gearing, ECAM and contouring. All DMC-21x3 controllers can also be purchased with Galil's array of plug-in, multi-axis amplifier boards designed to eliminate any wiring between the controller and drives.
Following are the various options Galil has available for their DMC-21x3 controllers:
- ICM-20100: 4-axis Interconnect with D-type connectors for interface to external drives
- ICM-20105: 4-axis Interconnect with D-type connectors for interface to external drives. Also includes optical isolation for I/O
- ICM-20500: 4-axis Interconnect with screw terminals and optical isolation. Attaches to AMP-205x0
- SDM-20240: Four full/half step drives for stepper motors
- SDM-206x0: Two or four microstep drives for stepper motors
- AMP-20341: Four 20W drives for brush servos
- AMP-204x0: Two or four 200W drives for brush servos
- AMP-205x0: Two or four 500W drives for brushless/brush servos
- AMP-20542: Four 200W drives for low inductance, brushless/ brush servos
- DB-28040: Daughter Board for additional 40 digital I/O plus 8 analog inputs
- DB-28104: Daughter Board for Sine/Cosine encoder signals. Interpolates into high-resolution position data
- Metal enclosure for DMC-21x3: Standard configuration is for DMC-2143 attached to ICM-20105. Other packaging options available upon request.

 Galil has just introduced two new products that will help you connect existing cables from your systems using older Galil controllers to the newer Optima or DMC-21x3 controllers. These products are ideal if you want to use newer Galil controllers and amplifiers without changing your existing cabling.
 Galil provides a multi-axis Controller n’ Drive solution that is much smaller, costs far less, and reduces wiring. Packed with performance and sophisticated features, these controllers offer more flexibility and ease of integration into your existing systems. Best of all, your project gets the full and prompt support of Galil, the leader in motion control.
 Galil's new 4-axis SDM-20640 amplifier board designed for microstepping four stepper motors. Like all Galil DMC-21x3 multi-axis drives, the SDM-20640 attaches directly to the 96-pin DIN connector of the controller without any need for a cable. For 2-axis applications, Galil also offers their new SDM-20620.
Galil's family of interconnect cards mount directly to the DMC-21x3 Ethernet motion controllers eliminating the need for a cable which reduces overall costs for OEMs. Interconnect cards are available for extending I/O and adding multi-axis amplifiers to the DMC-21x3 controller.
Several plug-in, multi-axis amplfier boards are available for the DMC-21x3 controller. These include the SDM-20240 for driving four stepper motors in full/half-step mode, the SDM-20640 for driving four stepper motors in the microstepping mode, the AMP-20341 for driving four brush-type servo motors up to 20 Watts, the AMP-20440 for driving four brush-type servos up to 200 Watts, and the AMP-20540 for driving four brushless or brush servos up to 500 Watts. Each of these four-axis amplifier boards attach directly to the 96-pin connector of the DMC-21x3 eliminating the cabling normally associated with interfacing a multi-axis controller to separate single-axis drives.
If the designer elects to use external amplifiers, the ICM-20100 makes interconnection easy as it provides d-sub connectors for each axis. The ICM-20105 provides optically isolated I/O in addition to d-sub connectors.The ICM-20100 and ICM-20105 are just 4.25" x 3.70" and attach directly to the DMC-21x3 96-pin connector.
The DB-28040 provides 40 additional digital I/O and eight analog inputs and attaches to the 50-pin header of the DMC-21x3 . The DB-28040 is just 2.55" x 3.08" and does not interfere with the SDM, AMP or ICM mounting. |
