DMC-1600/DMC-1000 Comparison
BENEFIT DMC-1600
DMC-1000
Higher Speed communication Frees host
Two communication channels-MAIN &
Secondary FIFO
Only one channel- FIFO
Easy to install – self-configuring
Plug and Play
No Plug and Play
Programs don’t have to be downloaded from
PC but can be stored on controller
Non-Volatile Program Storage
No storage for programs
Can capture and save array data
Variable storage
No storage for variables
