Using This Manual
This user manual provides information for proper operation of the DMC-1500 controller. A separate
supplemental manual, the Command Reference, contains a description of the commands available for
use with this controller.
Your DMC-1500 motion controller has been designed to work with both servo and stepper type
motors. In addition, the DMC-1500 has a daughter board for controllers with more than 4 axes.
Installation and system setup will vary depending upon whether the controller will be used with
stepper motors, or servo motors, and whether the controller has more than 4 axes of control. 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.
1580
Attention: Pertains to controllers with more than 4 axes.
Please note that many examples are written for the DMC-1540 four-axis controller or the DMC-1580
eight axes controller. Users of the DMC-1530 3-axis controller, DMC-1520 2-axis controller or
DMC-1510 1-axis controller should note that the DMC-1530 uses the axes denoted as XYZ, the
DMC-1520 uses the axes denoted as XY, and the DMC-1510 uses the X-axis only.
Examples for the DMC-1580 denote the axes as A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. Users of the DMC-1550 5-axis
controller, DMC-1560 6-axis controller or DMC-1570, 7-axis controller should note that the DMC-
1550 denotes the axes as A,B,C,D,E, the DMC-1560 denotes the axes as A,B,C,D,E,F and the DMC-
1570 denotes the axes as A,B,C,D,E,F,G. The axes A,B,C,D may be used interchangeably with
X,Y,Z,W.
This manual was written for the DMC-1500 firmware revision 2.0 and later. For controllers with
firmware previous to revision 2.0, please consult the original manual for your hardware. The later
revision firmware was previously specified as DMC-1500-18.
