Example- Communicating with OPTO-22 SNAP-B3000-ENET
This is a section of commonly found in the controller user manuals.
Using socket TCP/IP or UDP communication with Galil controllers
For most applications, the standard GalilTools communication libray or API (Application Programming Interface) provides the best method of communicating from either a Windows or Linux computer to a Galil controller. The GalilTools communication library provides calls such as "Command()" and "Pr
Introducing GalilSuite Software
Galil has recently released GalilSuite Software, a new version of GalilTools, providing a more powerful and flexible tool for configuring, analyzing and tuning Galil motion control systems. GalilSuite includes enhanced servo tuning capabilities with multiple tuning methods and allows the various analysis tools such as the scope, tuner and terminal tools to be executed individually. The new software also allows multiple connections to be made from GalilSuite to multiple controllers. The GalilSuite software package provides five tools for working with Galil controllers:
DMC-300xx Single-Axis Controller and 800W Sine Drive is now in Standard Release
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.
Key Benefits of Galil High Performance Controller & Drive Products
A common shortcut with single axis controller/drive combinations is to use a single control loop (and processor) to handle both the Position Control Loop (ie: PID loop) and the Amplifier Current loop. Galil separates these two loops onto different hardware and therefore optimizes each of them for the highest system performance. For instance, on the DMC-30012 and -D3540 sinusoidal amplifiers, the current loop is closed at a 33kHz sample rate that gives a fast response and tight control of the current going to the motor. It allows a high closed loop frequency response of 3-4kHz. This frees the controller processor for closing the position loop as well as running programs and processing commands. This two-loop architecture allows Galil to be extremely responsive and highly accurate on many different types of servo systems.
