This manual provides information for the wiring, installation, powering-up, and basic communication to the DMC-3xx10, DMC-3xx11 and DMC-3xx12 series motion controllers. The following list of part numbers are examples of configurations of the DMC-3xx1x motion controller that are covered in this manual.
Introduction DMC-3xx1x Motion Controller The DMC-3xx1x Series is Galil’s latest generation single-axis motion controller. It uses a 32-bit RISC processor to provide higher speed than older models. The DMC-3xx1x is available as a compact card- level or box-level unit and connects to a stepper or servo motor amplifier of any power range. Or, the DMC-3xx1x can be purchased with an internal 800-Watt brushless sine drive which minimizes space, cost and wiring.
Chapter 2 Installation Pre-Installation Operating Environment The location for use of the DMC-3xx1x must meet the following requirements. Description Units Specification Ambient Temperature 0 to +40 Altitude feet 10,000 Humidity 20-95% (non-condensing) Mounting Location The DMC-3xx1x motion controller must be mounted on a flat surface using the 4 mounting holes found on the metal base-plate.
3. Verify the controller that has been shipped to you is in fact the controller that you have ordered from Galil or your authorized Galil distributor. To do this, check the labeling on the controller and compare it to the part number that was ordered.
Installation Mounting the Controller The DMC-3xx1x motion controller must be mounted to a flat surface with 4 – #10 pan head screws through each mounting hole found on the controller base as shown in Figure 5. If the controller is mounted on a wall, the controller should be mounted so that the bottom of the controller is horizontal to the floor (as shown in Figure 5).
Wiring the DMC-3xx12 The basic wiring for a DMC-3xx12 is shown in Figure 6. The disconnect switch or circuit breaker for AC power must be installed in a location that meets the following requirements: Placed in close proximity to the equipment, within easy reach of the operator, and must not •...
Communication Connection Connect the serial cable or the Ethernet cable from your PC to the DMC-3xx1x motion controller. The Ethernet cable may be connected through a hub or switch, or directly to the PC. If the controller is connected to a DHCP enabled network, the IP address will automatically be assigned to the controller.
B Channel Hall Sensor HALC C Channel Hall Sensor Communication with Galil Software To communicate with the controller, the GalilTools communications software must first be installed. A free version of GalilTools (GalilTools-Lite) may also be used. These software applications can be found on the software installation CD shipped with the controller, or online at: http://www.galilmc.com/support/software-downloads.php...
