Step 3. Install The Communications Software; Step 4. Install The Dmc-1600 In The Pc; Step 5. Establish Communication Using Galil Software - Galil Motion Control DMC-1600 Series User Manual

Step 3. Install the Communications Software

After applying power to the computer, you should install the Galil software that enables
communication between the controller and PC.
Using Dos:
Using the Galil Software CD-ROM, go to the directory DMCDOS. Type "INSTALL" at the DOS
prompt and follow the directions.
Using Windows SE, 98, NT, ME, XP or 2000 (32 bit versions):
The Galil Software CD-ROM will automatically begin the installation procedure when the CD-
ROM is installed. After installing the Galil CD-ROM software on your computer, you can easily
install other software components as desired. To install the basic communications software, run
the Galil Software CD-ROM and choose "DMCWIN32 – Windows Utilities and Programming
Libraries, WIN95, 98, NT". This will install the Galil Terminal that can be used for
communication.

Step 4. Install the DMC-1600 in the PC

The DMC-1600 is installed directly into the Compact PCI bus. The procedure is outlined below.

Step 5. Establish Communication using Galil Software

DMC-1600 DOS Users
All that is required for installation of the DMC-1600 in DOS is the DMCTERM software. Within
DMCTERM, the DMC-1600 should be selected from the card options, and the DOS drivers will
automatically register the card with a correct address and IRQ.
DMC-1600
1. Make sure the host computer is in the power-off condition.
2. Remove unit cover.
3. Remove the metal plate covering the expansion bus slot where the DMC-1600 will be
inserted.
4. Insert DMC-1600 card in the expansion bus and secure with screw.
5. Attach 100-pin cable to your controller card. If you are using a Galil ICM-1900 or
AMP-19X0, this cable connects into the J2 connection on the interconnect module. If
you are not using a Galil interconnect module, you will need to appropriately
terminate the cable to your system components, see the appendix for cable pin outs.
The auxiliary encoder connections are accessed through the 36-pin connector, J5.
Note: The part number for the 100-pin connector is #2-178238-9 from AMP.
6. Turn power on to computer.
7. The operating system should recognize the DMC-1600 as a new device.
8. The Plug and Play feature will automatically configure the controller for your
computers available resources. The installation will also automatically add this
information to the Galil Registry.
