Elements You Need

Before you start, you will need the following system elements:
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.

J9 INCOM,LSCOM jumper set. These jumpers are
used when connecting limit, home, and abort
switches and the digital inputs, IN1 - IN8.

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.
