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.

      The DMC-500x0 is offered in 1 through 8 axis formats. Axes 1 - 4 can be configured as either local or EtherCAT drives while axes 5 – 8 can be configured for additional EtherCAT drives. Unique to the motion control industry is this ability to mix and match local and EtherCAT drives on the same controller. The DMC-500x0 also features 8 uncommitted opto-isolated inputs, 8 uncommitted opto-isolated high power outputs, 8 uncommitted analog inputs, and 32 user configurable extended I/O.

      The DMC-52xx0 is a pure EtherCAT controller capable of controlling up to 32 drives and 2 I/O modules in a small, space efficient package. It's offered in 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 axis formats and features 8 uncommitted opto-isolated inputs and 8 uncommitted opto-isolated high power outputs. It also includes 8 uncommitted analog inputs and 8 uncommitted analog outputs.

      The RIO-574x0 is available if additional I/O is needed. It provides 16 uncommitted opto-isolated inputs and 16 uncommitted opto-isolated high power outputs, 8 uncommitted analog inputs, and 8 uncommitted analog outputs.
