Using This Manual

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.

DMC-30010: 1-axis controller no power supply, no amplifier.
DMC-30011: 1-axis controller with 48VDC power supply, no amplifier.
DMC-30012: 1-axis controller with 60VDC power supply and sine amplifier

This manual covers the basic installation of the controller and amplifier modules. For full operational
information including specific I/O installation, detailed programming examples and additional internal
driver information, see the DMC-3xx1x User Manual.

WARNING: Machinery in motion can be dangerous! It is the responsibility of the user to
design effective error handling and safety protection as part of the machinery. Galil shall
not be liable or responsible for any incidental or consequential damages.

If the DMC-3xx1x motion controller and included amplifiers or stepper drivers are not used
in a manner specified by Galil Motion Control, the protection provided by the controller,
amplifiers and drivers may be impaired.

Chapter 1 Overview

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 card­level 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. The motion controller operates stand-alone or can be networked to a PC via Ethernet.

Features include PID compensation with velocity and acceleration feedforward, program memory with
multitasking for concurrent execution of multiple programs, and uncommitted optically isolated inputs
and outputs for synchronizing motion with external events. Modes of motion include point-to-point
positioning, jogging, contouring, PVT, electronic gearing and electronic cam. Like all Galil motion
controllers, these controllers use a simple, English-like command language which makes them very
easy to program. GalilTools software further simplifies system set-up with “one button” servo tuning
and real-time display of position and velocity information.

Commands are sent in ASCII. Additional software is available for automatic-tuning, trajectory
viewing on a PC screen, and program development using many environments such as Visual Basic, C,
C++ etc. Drivers for Windows XP, Vista and 7 (32 & 64 bit) as well as Linux are available.

DMC-3xx10

The DMC-3xx10 is a single-axis controller with no power supply and no amplifier.

DMC-3xx11

The DMC-3xx11 is a single-axis controller with a 48VDC power supply and no amplifier.

DMC-3xx12

The DMC-3xx12 is a single-axis controller with a 60VDC power supply and and a single axis
sinusoidal amplifier. The DMC-3xx12 is capable of 10 Amps of continuous current and 15 Amps of
peak current.

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 C 0 to +40

Altitude feet 10,000

Humidity RH 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. The grating found on the side of the metal must not be obstructed in
order provide proper air flow for adequate heat dissipation. The dimensions and the mounting hole
locations are found in Appendices A3.

Additional Mounting Consideration when using the DMC-3xx12

When operating a DMC-3xx12, special mounting considerations must be made if the total continuous
current output for the controller is greater than 5A. In this case, the controller base must be mounted to
an addition heat sink.

When the application requires that the DMC-30012 be mounted to a heat sink, the heat sink must be
sized such that the base of the DMC-30012 be kept at a temperature of 65O C or below. This works out
to a thermal resistance of 2O C/W at full continuous power. Full continuous power is defined as a
100% duty cycle at 10Amps continuous current with a 60VDC bus.

Elements Needed for Installation

1. Isolated DC power supply

a. Ratings found in Appendix A1

2. Power Supply Cable

3. PC or laptop with Ethernet and/or RS-232 ports

4. GalilTools, or GalilTools-Lite software package

5. Ethernet Cable

a. Recommended shielded Cat 5 STP cable. Straight-through or Cross-over.

6. RS-232 straight-through serial cable

a. 9 pin D-sub female

7. Molex pin Crimp Tool

8. Additional cables may be required for connection to motors, external amplifiers, digital or
analog I/O, and other devices. See the full DMC-3xx1x User Manual for further information.

9. Disconnect switch or circuit breaker for AC power to DC Power Supply

Unpacking the Controller

Caution: The DMC-3xx1x motion controller and included internal amplifier include electrostatic

sensitive components. Observe standard precautions for handling ESD sensitive devices
when handling the controller.

1. Verify that the following components have been shipped along the motion controller.

• Connectors and mating pins for motor power and amplifier power.

o Qty 1 – 4 pin molex connectors (DMC-3xx12)

o Qty 1 – 2 pin molex connector (DMC-3xx11 and DMC-3xx12)

o Qty 1 – 4 pin molex connector (DMC-3xx10)

• Galil Software Installation CD

Note: Connectors and/or software installation CD may not be shipped to existing OEM

customers.

2. Check that no visible damage has occurred to the controller, or internal amplifiers. If any
damage has occurred to the controller, or the components shipped with the controller, contact
Galil Motion Control immediately. Contact information can be found in the beginning of this
manual.

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.
