Chapter 2 Getting Started DMC-1500
Step 6. Establish Communications with Galil Software
Use the supplied 9-pin RS232 ribbon cable to connect the MAIN DMC-1500 serial port to your
computer or terminal at COMPORT 1. The DMC-1500 main serial port is configured as DATASET.
Your computer or terminal must be configured as a DATATERM for full duplex, no parity, 8 bits
data, one start bit and one stop bit.
Select the baud rate switches for 19.2 KB, 9600 B or 1200 B. The default setting is 19.2 KB.
Your computer needs to be configured as a "dumb" terminal which sends ASCII characters as they are
typed to the DMC-1500. The COMMdisk from Galil provides a terminal emulator program for your
computer. Follow the steps below to install and run the terminal emulator.
Dos Users:
To communicate with the DMC-1500, type TALK2DMC at the prompt. Once you have established
communication, the terminal display should show a colon, :. If you do not receive a colon, press the
carriage return. If a colon prompt is not returned, there is most likely an incorrect setting of the serial
communications port. The user must ensure that the correct communication port and baud rate are
specified when attempting to communicate with the controller. Please note that the serial port on the
controller must be set for handshake mode for proper communication with Galil software. The user
must also insure that the proper serial cable is being used, see appendix for pin-out of serial cable.
Windows Users:
In order for the windows software to communicate with a Galil controller, the controller must be
registered in the Galil Registry. The Galil Registry is simply a list of controllers. Registration consists
of telling the software the model of the controller, the address of the controller, and other information.
To do this, run the program DMCREG16 for Windows 3.x or DMCREG32 for Windows 95 and NT.
The DMCREG window will appear. Select Registry from the menu.
Note: If you are using DMCREG for the first time, no controllers will exist in the Galil Register. This
is normal.
The registry window is equipped with buttons to Add, Change, or Delete a controller. Pressing any
of these buttons will bring up the Set Registry Information window. (It should be noted that if you
wish to change information on any existing controller, it should be selected before clicking
Change ,
even if it is the only controller listed in the Registry.)
Use the Add button to add a new entry to the Registry. You will need to supply the Galil Controller
type. For any address changes to take effect, a model number must be entered. If you are changing an
existing controller, this field will already have an entry. If you are adding a controller, it will not.
Pressing the down arrow to the right of this field will reveal a menu of valid controller types.
You
should choose DMC-1500. The registry information will show a default comm port of 2 and a default
baud rate of 9600 appears. This information should be changed as necessary to reflect the computers
comm port and the baud rate as set by the controller's DIP switches. The registry entry also displays
timeout and delay information. These are advanced parameters which should only be modified by
advanced users (see software documentation for more information).
Once you have set the appropriate Registry information for your controller, exit from the DMCREG
program. You will now be able to run communication software.
If you are using Windows 3.x, run the program DTERM16.EXE and if you are using Windows 95 or
Windows NT, run the program DTERM32.EXE. From the file menu, select Startup. You will now
see the registry information. Select the entry for your controller. Note: If you have only one entry,
you still must select this controller for the software to establish communications. Once the entry has
been selected, click on the
OK button. If the software has successfully established communications
with the controller, the registry entry will be displayed at the top of the screen.
