DMC-40x0 Command Reference 

   Parameter Arguments  • 1 

Overview 

Controller Notation 

This command reference is a supplement to the Galil User Manual.  For proper controller operation, consult 
the Users Manual.  This command reference describes commands for Galil Accelera Series Motion 
Controller: DMC-40x0.  Commands are listed in alphabetical order. 

Please note that all commands may not be valid for every controller.  To identify the controllers for which 
the command is applicable, please review the Usage Section of the command description. 

Servo and Stepper Motor Notation: 

Your motion controller has been designed to work with both servo and stepper type motors.  Installation 
and system setup will vary depending upon whether the controller will be used with stepper motors, or 
servo motors.  To make finding the appropriate instructions faster and easier, icons will be next to any 
information that applies exclusively to one type of system.  Otherwise, assume that the instructions apply to 
all types of systems.  The icon legend is shown below. 

 

Attention!: Pertains to servo motor use. 

 

 

Attention!: Pertains to stepper motor use. 

Trippoints 

The controller provides several commands that can be used to make logical decisions, or “trippoints,” based 
on events during a running program.  Such events include:  the completion of a specific motion, waiting for 
a certain position to be reached, or simply waiting for a certain amount of time to elapse. 

 

When a program is executing on the controller, each program line is executed sequentially.  However, 
when a trippoint command is executed, the program halts execution of the next line of code until the status 
of the trippoint is cleared.  Note that the trippoint only halts execution of the thread from which it is 
commanded while all other independent threads are unaffected.  Additionally, if the trippoint is 
commanded from a subroutine, execution of the subroutine, as well as the main thread, is halted. 

 

Since trippoint commands are used as program flow instructions during a running program, they should not 
be implemented directly from the command line of the terminal.  Sending a trippoint command directly 
from the command line might cause an interruption in communications between the host PC and the 
controller until the trippoint is cleared.
