Establishing Communication with a Galil Controller

Establishing Communication with a Galil Controller

Galil recently added a 2-minute video to its new library of technical "how-to" videos. The latest video details how to establish communication with Galil controllers using GalilTools software. The system components used in the video are Galil's DMC-40x0 Accelera motion controller connected to a PC running GalilTools software with TCP/IP connection through an Ethernet Switch.

The video demonstrates each step in establishing communication including

• Connecting cables from the Ethernet switch to the controller and the PC;
• Verifying network settings on a PC and choosing a static IP address for the controller;
• Executing GalilTools software, entering the static IP address and establishing communication with the controller. An example of sending Galil commands and downloading an application program is also presented.

Galil's library of informative videos present solutions to common motion and I/O problems. Perfect for busy engineers, these technical tutorials are two minutes each. The tutorials can be accessed at no charge 24/7 at:
