Elements You Need
Before you start, you will need the following system elements:
1. DMC-1000 Motion Controller and included 60-pin ribbon cable. Also
included is a 26-pin ribbon cable for general I/O.
1a. For stepper motor operation, you will need an additional 20-pin ribbon
cable for J4.
2. Servo motors with Optical Encoder (one per axis) or step motors
3. Power
Amplifiers
4. Power Supply for Amplifiers
5. PC (Personal Computer - ISA bus)
6. Communication Disk (COMMdisk) from Galil (Optional - but strongly
recommended for first time users)
WSDK-16 Servo Design Software for Windows 3.1, and 3.11 for
Workgroups
-OR
-
WSDK-32 for Windows 95 or NT
(Optional, but strongly recommended for first time users).
7.
An Interface Module (Optional, but strongly recommended). The Galil
ICM-1100 is an interconnect module with screw type terminals that
directly interfaces to the DMC-1000 controller. Note: An additional
ICM-1100 is required for the DMC-1050 through DMC-1080.
The motors may be servo (brush type or brushless) or steppers. The amplifiers should be suitable for
the motor and may be linear or pulse-width-modulated. An amplifier may have current feedback or
voltage feedback.
For servo motors, the amplifiers should accept an analog signal in the +/-10 Volt range as a command.
The amplifier gain should be set so that a +10V command will generate the maximum required
current. For example, if the motor peak current is 10A, the amplifier gain should be 1 A/V. For
velocity mode amplifiers, a command signal of 10 Volts should run the motor at the maximum
required speed.
For step motors, the amplifiers should accept step and direction signals. For start-up of a step motor
system refer to “Connecting Step Motors” on page 16.
