When setting up an RIO as extended I/O of a controller it is recommended to setup a modbus connection between the controller and the RIO.

This post is also applicable for creating a robust Modbus connection to a standard Modbus slave device.

It is sometimes desirable to be able to automatically control the Enabled/Disabled state of a PC's Network Interface Cards (NIC).

There have been many methods developed over the years for tuning the loop constants of a servo motor control axis, ranging from various auto-tuning methods to step-by-step manual tuning.

Galil Motor Controller Aids Development of Multilayer Laue Lens Designed For Directing Synchrotron Light.

Visible light. Whether it's generated by the sun or an incandescent bulb, it's what helps us see the many colors of the rainbow that paint our everyday surroundings.

Ironically, it's the light that can't be seen by the naked eye that can reveal a whole lot more and even perform amazing feats. Like X-rays that help doctors pinpoint their diagnoses, or infrared light which lets you remotely surf 500 television channels from the comfort of your couch.

A question that comes up when running an Ethernet network with multiple devices is whether it is possible to only allow a specific IP address to connect to the Galil controller or possibly allow a specific range of IP addresses to connect but not the entire network.  The answer is to use the SM c
