DMC-18x2
PCI Econo Motion Controllers, 1-4 axes
Product Description
The DMC-18x2 Econo Series are PCI bus motion controllers designed for the most cost-sensitive applications. The DMC-18x2 controllers accommodate 1- through 4-axis formats and allow control of step or servo motors on any combination of axes. Any mode of motion can be programmed including linear and circular interpolation, contouring, electronic gearing and ecam. To minimize cost, the following features are not available on the DMC-18x2: five through eight axes of control, optical isolation on inputs, uncommitted analog inputs, dual encoder inputs, and the auxiliary FIFO and DPRAM communication channel. If you need these features, select the DMC-18x6 Accelera PCI controller.
Like all Galil controllers, programming the DMC-18x2 is simplified with two-letter, intuitive commands and a full set of software tools such as GalilTools for servo tuning and analysis.

Product Features
- PCI card in 1 through 4 axis versions: DMC-18x2 where x=1,2,3,4 axes
- User-configurable for stepper or servo motors on any combination of axes
- Accepts up to 12 MHz encoder frequencies for servos and outputs pulses up to 3 MHz for steppers
- PID compensation with velocity and acceleration feedforward, integration limits, notch filter and low-pass filter. Sample times to 62.5 microseconds per axis
- Modes of motion include jogging, point-to-point positioning, contouring, linear and circular interpolation, electronic gearing and ECAM. Ellipse scaling, slow-down around corners, infinite segment feed and feedrate override
- Multitasking for concurrent execution of up to eight application programs
