The DMC-500x0 motion controller is Galileo's most powerful motion controller with EtherCAT master functionality. The EtherCAT master operates in cyclic synchronous torque mode or in cyclic synchronous position mode. The DMC can also be configured with up to 8 axes. Axes 1 to 4 can either be EtherCAT or local axis control, which optionally use internal controllers for servo motors or stepper motors. Axes 5 to 8 are always EtherCAT axes. With 40 µs command processing, the DMC-500x0 is the fastest of Galil's digital controllers.
The DMC-500x0 is a complete, ready-to-use motion controller with metal housing and optional internal controllers. The unit can be programmed as a stand-alone device via Ethernet 10/100Base-T or RS-232. Optically isolated inputs and outputs, power outputs for brakes or relays, as well as analog inputs for sensors are also included. A power supply of 20-80 VDC is sufficient.
Equipped with a powerful RISC processor, the DMC-500x0 offers functions such as PID control, program memory, multitasking, free inputs and outputs for synchronization with external events. Motion modes include point-to-point positioning, position tracking, continuous motion, linear and circular interpolation, contouring, electronic clutch and ECAM.
Like all Galil controllers, the DMC-500x0 can be programmed intuitively using commands (consisting of 2 letters, e.g. PR Position Relative). The GalilSuite with intelligent editor, tuning, analysis and scope functions serves as the programming interface.
