Econo Servo Motion Controller with Ethernet

Greenville, DE — Servo2Go.com has just added Galil Motion Control’s New Econo Series Motion Controller with Ethernet, the DMC-41×3 Series, to its broad range of high performance cost effective Ethernet based Motion controllers.

The DMC-41×3 is the latest product in Galil’s Econo series which are high performance motion controllers at a lower price. The new product offers many enhancements compared to the prior Econo motor controllers including Ethernet 100Base-T, a USB 2.0 port, higher speed performance, larger program memory, analog inputs, and optically isolated I/O. “Compared to the older DMC-21×3 Econo Ethernet controller, the new DMC-41×3 controller offers many speed improvements and can accept encoder inputs up to 15 MHz and close-the-loop as fast as 62 microseconds,” said Lisa Wade, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Galil. “It also offers twice as much memory for user-programs and arrays.”

The DMC-41×3 operates stand-alone or interfaces to a PC with Ethernet 10/100Base-T or USB. An auxiliary RS232 port is also provided. The product 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 Galil’s multi-axis (500W per axis) servo drives or 60V, 3A microstepping drives. Galil drives install directly onto the DMC-41×3 controller, fitting inside the metal enclosure and saving space, cost and wiring.

Standard I/O of the DMC-41×3 controller includes 16 optically isolated inputs and outputs for the 1-4 axis models and 32 I/O for the 5-8 axis models. Eight analog inputs are provided in addition to optically isolated forward and reverse limits and a home input for each axis.

Other controller features include 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. Modes of motion include point-to-point positioning, position tracking, jogging, linear and circular interpolation, contouring, electronic gearing, ECAM and PVT. The DMC-41×3 is available as a card-level product or packaged in a metal enclosure.

Like all Galil controllers the DMC-41×3 controllers are programmed with Galil’s intuitive, 2-letter command language, making them easy to program. GalilTools software simplifies system set-up with automated servo tuning and real-time display of motion information.
