Galil Motion Control has recently updated their catalog for 2010/2011 with comprehensive technical details, specifications and pricing on all motion controllers, I/O controllers and drives. Galil's 2010/2011 catalog provides specifications and pricing for its full line of controllers and drives including the Accelera ultra high-speed motion controllers, Econo low-cost controllers and the RIO Pocket PLC series. Both the Accelera and Econo motion controllers are available as a standalone package with Ethernet/RS232 or in card-level format for the PCI bus. New to the catalog is the DMC-41x3 Econo Controller Series with Ethernet/USB/R232 which offers higher performance at a lower price.Both the Accelera and Econo motion controllers are available with Galil’s family of multi-axis drives for stepper and servo motors. The drives attach directly to the controller without additional cables, providing a solution that minimizes wiring, cost and space. Also included in the catalog is the RIO Pocket PLC which provides an intelligent, low-cost and compact solution for handling analog and digital I/O. Each RIO unit contains 32 digital and 16 analog I/O, a RISC processor for fast I/O handling and logic control, and memory for user-programs. The RIO includes an Ethernet 10/100Base-T port allowing multiple RIO units to be networked for unlimited I/O control. The catalog also covers the GalilTools software package which provides “one-button” PID servo tuning and an 8-channel scope for viewing motion and I/O data in real-time. A technical overview about motion control is also featured which gives many programming examples for various modes of motion, including point-to-point positioning, jogging, linear and circular interpolation, contouring and electronic gearing.
