Now available is Galil's new DMC-21x5 motion controller. The DMC-21x5 supports almost all the same accessories as the DMC-21x3 motion controllers. The main difference between the DMC-21x5 and its predecessor is the ARM processor. This brings communication, command processing and memory capacity up to date. The price remains the same, but the performance is almost 1:1 identical to that of a DMC-40x0 or DMC-4183! And last but not least, the GDK (Galil Design Kit) already supports this series too!
