Controller or amplifier power should never be plugged in HOT. Always power down the power supply
WARNING
before installing or removing power connector(s) to/from controller or amplifier.
For more information regarding connector type and part numbers see Power Connector Part Numbers, pg 141. The
power specifications for the controller are provided in Power Requirements, pg 136 and the power specifications
for each amplifier are found under their specific section in the appendix, see Accessory Components, pg 149.
Any emergency stop or disconnect switches should be installed on the AC input to the DC power supply. Relays
and/or other switches should not be installed on the DC line between the Galil and the Power supply.
The green power light indicator should go on when power is applied.
Step 4. Install the Communications Software
After applying power to the controller, a PC is used for programming. Galil's development software enables
communication between the controller and the host device. The current version of Galil's development software
can be found here: https://galil.com/downloads/software/gdk
Step 5. Establish Communications with Galil Software
NOTE: GDK's Step-By-Step tool provides an interactive and easy to follow guide to setting up a Windows PC for
communication with Galil controllers.
GDK will automatically setup the computer for serial communication. For Ethernet communication, see this video
