Galil has a decades long history of collaboration with projects on the cutting edge of science. Astronomy, Physics, Biology, and Geology are some of the many fields of scientific research that call on the need for deterministic motion control and data collection. The ease of use and support offered by Galil makes it a natural fit for the rapid prototyping and automation that is characteristic of large scale scientific research.
Galil Motion Control is pleased to introduce the newest entry in its latest generation of digital motion controllers, the DMC-500x0 EtherCAT Controller. Incorporating all of the features of our flagship Accelera series controller and designed with compatibility and flexibility in mind, the DMC-500x0 allows integration of remote EtherCAT drives into new and existing applications with just a handful of configuration commands.
Our next two-day product school is Thursday July 17, 2014 through Friday July 18, 2014. If you are new to Galil, sign-up now! The training will be at our headquarters in Rocklin, CA (near Sacramento).
It’s almost midnight on campus and a group of college students are walking back to their dorm rooms after a long night of studying. As they move toward the University’s plaza entrance, they pass through the library’s columns and are surprised by sounds that emanate from overhead, creating a consonant harmony that changes in pitch and timbre. They look towards the plaza and see a large misty c
Galil is focused on providing the best motion control and PLC solutions to customers quickly and cost-effectively. If our standard product offering does not satisfy a customer’s requirements, we will build a special product that does.
EPICS stands for Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System. It is a set of open source, distributed software tools used extensively for scientific instruments such as particle accelerators, telescopes, and other large-scale experimental installations.
Galil is pleased to announce our latest firmware release, revision 1.2, for the DMC-40x0 and DMC-41x3. This release provides an increase in program memory from 2000 x 80 characters to 4000 x 80 characters, and an increase in the total array elements from 16,000 to 24,000.
In systems with absolute encoders and brushless motors that are being driven by a sinusoidal drive such as the D3540/D3640 or DMC-30012, you can take advantage of the absolute position information to commutate the system at power up without using BX or BZ. Instead, you can measure the phase relationship and then run a #AUTO routine using that relationship to automatically commutate the motor
