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.
The New DMC-52xx0 EtherCAT Master
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, and 16 axis formats (32 axis coming soon). 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.
