PWM/Step and Sign/Direction Electrical Specifications
Output Voltage
0 – 5 VDC
Current Output
20 mA Sink/Source
External Servo Control
The DMC-42x0 command voltage ranges between ±10V and is output on the motor command line - MCMn (where
n is A-H). This signal, along with GND, provides the input to the motor amplifiers. The amplifiers must be sized to
drive the motors and load. For best performance, the amplifiers should be configured for a torque (current) mode
of operation with no additional compensation. The gain should be set such that a 10 volt input results in the
maximum required current.
Motor Command Line Electrical Specifications
Output Voltage
±10 VDC
Motor Command Output Impedance
500 Ω
Amplifier Enable
The DMC-42x0 has an amplifier enable signal - AENn (where n is A-H) which changes under the following
conditions:
•
The motor-off command MO is given or the watchdog timer activates.
•
The OE command (Enable Off-On-Error) is set and the position error exceeds the error limit (set by ER).
•
A limit switch is reached (see OE command in the Command Reference for more information).
The default configuration of the amplifier enable signal is 5V active high amp enable (HAEN) sinking. In other
words, the AEN signal will be high when the controller expects the amplifier to be enabled. The polarity and the
amplitude can be changed by configuring the Amplifier Enable Circuit on the ICM-2900 or ICM-1900.
If your amplifier requires a different configuration than the default 5V HAEN sinking it is highly recommended
that the DMC-42x0 is ordered with the desired configuration.
Contact Galil for more information on ordering
different configurations.
Note:
Many amplifiers designate the enable input as ‘inhibit’.
Configuring the Amplifier Enable Circuit
Configuring the Amplifier Enable for ICM-2900/ICM-1900
The ICM-1900 and ICM-2900 modules can be configured to provide an active low signal to enable external
amplifiers. These modules can also be configured for voltage levels other than TTL.
