Automatic Subroutines with Accelera motion controllers
Many new features were added to the Accelera motion controller product line that were not available in prior generation Galil motion controllers.
Changing deceleration value when a limit switch is triggered
For Optima-series motion controllers and older, it is well documentated that the deceleration value (DC) of an axis cannot be changed while the axis is actively profiling. Many machine designs require a low DC value for smoothest possible motion.
How to Correctly Wire Hall Sensors to Servo Amplifiers
The issue of wiring the hall sensors on brushless servo motors often arises here in the Galil Applications Department.
Switching from Encoder feedback to Analog feedback and back
Some applications require driving to a known position based on normal encoder-based feedback, then switching to an analog signal for feedback, and then returning to the encoder-based data. Even as the controller drives the motor based on analog data, the encoder continues to turn, and the increm
Tools For Debugging DMC Motion Controller Code
The following commands can be very useful for debugging DMC code on any of the current generation Galil motion controllers
TC1 - This reports back any errors that have occurred with the program
