The New DMC-52xx0 EtherCAT Master, 32 Axis Now Available
Introducing the DMC-52xx0 EtherCAT master, Galil’s first 32 axis motion controller. This new addition to Galil’s EtherCAT family is a pure EtherCAT controller with the ability to control up to 32 drives and 2 I/O modules. This space efficient package also provides uncommitted I/O for easy integration into any EtherCAT application.
The DMC-52xx0 is offered in 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 axis formats. Coordinated moves can be done within banks of up to 8 axes allowing for minimal changes of Galil’s programming language. The DMC-52xx0 operates in Cyclic Synchronous Position mode (CSP). In this mode, the servo control loop is closed on the EtherCAT drive while the Galil controller sends motion profile commands at a rate of 1 kHz. Galil supports a host of EtherCAT devices for virtually any application. See the list below for more details.
The Parker P Series Now Supported
Galil’s EtherCAT Masters (DMC-52xx0 and DMC-500x0) now provide support for Parker’s P Series EtherCAT drives. The Parker P Series includes 400, 1000, and 3500 Watt drives where motors can also be ordered to provide a complete EtherCAT solution.
Introducing Galil Design Kit Lite
The Galil Design Kit (GDK) is Galil's newest software environment that provides easy communication with Galil hardware. GDK is based on the same feature set as Galil's previous generation software but will be a more robust, more user friendly solution for any application.
Galil's AMP-43520, AMP-43540, and AMP-43740 Now Have 16 bit PWM Resolution
The AMP-43520, AMP-43540, and AMP-43740 have been enhanced to incorporate 16 bit PWM resolution. The AMP-43520 and AMP-43540 are 2 and 4 axis 600 Watt sinusoidal amplifiers with a switching frequency of 33 kHz. While, the AMP-43740 is a 4 axis 1200 Watt sinusoidal amplifier with a switching frequency of 20 kHz. Galil has increased the PWM resolution from 12 bit to 16 bit without decreasing the switching frequency. Galil has added the benefits of increasing the resolution on a PWM amplifier without the usual required trade-offs.
