Introduction
DMC-3xx1x Motion Controller
The DMC-3xx1x Series is Galil's latest generation single-axis motion controller. It uses a 32-bit RISC
processor to provide higher speed than older models. The DMC-3xx1x is available as a compact card-
level or box-level unit and connects to a stepper or servo motor amplifier of any power range. Or, the
DMC-3xx1x can be purchased with an internal 800-Watt brushless sine drive which minimizes space,
cost and wiring. The motion controller operates stand-alone or can be networked to a PC via Ethernet.
Features include PID compensation with velocity and acceleration feedforward, program memory with
multitasking for concurrent execution of multiple programs, and uncommitted optically isolated inputs
and outputs for synchronizing motion with external events. Modes of motion include point-to-point
positioning, jogging, contouring, PVT, electronic gearing and electronic cam. Like all Galil motion
controllers, these controllers use a simple, English-like command language which makes them very
easy to program. GalilTools software further simplifies system set-up with "one button" servo tuning
and real-time display of position and velocity information.
Commands are sent in ASCII. Additional software is available for automatic-tuning, trajectory
viewing on a PC screen, and program development using many environments such as Visual Basic, C,
C++ etc. Drivers for Windows XP, Vista and 7 (32 & 64 bit) as well as Linux are available.
