Galil's new DMC-300xx single-axis Ethernet Motion Controller Series is now out of beta release and is available as a standard product with CE certification. The DMC-300xx provides higher performance, better power efficiency, smaller size and a lower price than prior generation, single-axis controllers.

High performance features of the DMC-300xx include: 125 microsecond servo loop update period, 15MHz encoder frequency, non-volatile memory for user programs and multitasking for simultaneously running up to four user programs.

Modes of motion include point-to-point positioning, position tracking, jogging, contouring, electronic gearing, ECAM and PVT. The DMC-300xx includes two 100Base-T Ethernet ports in addition to an internal Ethernet hub that allows multiple units to be daisy-chained without the use of an external hub.

The DMC-30012 model is a controller packaged with an internal 800W sine drive for operating brushless motors at 20-80 VDC, up to 10 amps rms continuous, 15 amps peak.

The DMC-300xx is also available as a controller-only product that can be connected to an external stepper or servo drive of any power range.

The DMC-300xx provides optically isolated inputs and outputs as a standard feature including forward and reverse limit inputs, homing input, 8 uncommitted digital inputs, 4 uncommitted digital outputs, 2 uncommitted analog inputs and 1 uncommitted analog output. The DMC-300xx accepts both main and auxiliary quadrature encoders as standard, with BiSS and SSI formats available as an option.

The DMC-300xx series is both compact and low cost making it ideal for OEM projects.

The DMC-30012-BOX motion controller and 800W brushless sine drive unit measures 3.9" x 5.0" x 1.5" and is $695 U.S. in single quantity and $445 in quantities of 100.

Like all Galil controllers, the DMC-300xx is programmed with Galil's intuitive, 2-letter command language, making it quick and easy to program. Galil's command language has used the same 2-letter format for over 25 years and is similar across both single and multi-axis controller platforms. The GalilTools and new GalilSuite software simplifies system set-up with automated servo tuning and real-time display of motion information in the time domain.

The DMC-300xx is available for immediate shipment. For complete pricing and specifications for the DMC-300xx series, please see: http://www.galil.com/motion-controllers/single-axis/dmc-3x01x or contact a Galil application engineer at (800) 377-6329 or support@galil.com.
