Step 4. Connect 20-80VDC Power to the Controller
If the controller was ordered with Galil Amplifiers or Drivers, then power to the controller will be supplied through
those power connectors. Otherwise the power will come through the connector on the side of the controller. See
DMC-40x0 Power Connections.
WARNING: Dangerous voltages, current, temperatures and energy levels exist in this product and
the associated amplifiers and servo motor(s). Extreme caution should be exercised in the
application of this equipment. Only qualified individuals should attempt to install, set up and operate
this equipment. Never open the controller box when DC power is applied to it.
The green power light indicator should go on when power is applied.
Step 5. Establish Communications with Galil Software
Communicating through an Ethernet connection
The DMC-40x0 motion controller is equipped with DHCP. If the controller is connected to a DHCP enabled
network, an IP address will automatically be assigned to the controller. See Ethernet Configuration in Chapter 4 for
more information.
Using GalilTools Software for Windows
Registering controllers in the Windows registry is no longer required when using the GalilTools software package.
A simple connection dialog box appears when the software is opened that shows all available controllers.
Any available controllers with assigned IP addresses can be found under the ‘Available’ tab in the Connections
Dialog Box. If the controller is not connected to a DHCP enabled network, or the DH command is set to 0, and the
controller has not been assigned an IP address, the controller can be found under the ‘No IP Address’ tab.
For more information on establishing communication to the controller via the GalilTools software, see the
GalilTools user manual.

Using DMC-SmartTerminal or WSDK Software for Windows
NOTE: For new applications, Galil recommends using the GalilTools software package.
The controller must be registered in the Windows registry for the host computer to communicate with it. The
registry may be accessed via Galil software, such as WSDK or GALIL Smart Terminal.
A dedicated network card with a static IP address is recommended. To set your NIC card to a static IP, go to the
Control Panel
 Network Connections  Local Area Connection  Properties  TCP/IP and choose “use the
following IP address”. If a “Dynamic” IP address is used, make sure there is a DHCP Server on your network or
you will encounter an error.
