The DMC-13x8 for the VME bus is a member of the Optima Series, Galil's multi-axis motion controllers. Designed to fit in a VME bus chassis, the DMC-13x8 controllers accommodate 1- through 4-axis formats and allow control of step or servo motors on any combination of axes.

· Accepts up to 12 MHz encoder frequencies for servos and 3 MHz for steppers

· Advanced 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

· Multitasking for concurrent execution of up to eight application programs

· Non-volatile memory for application programs, variables and arrays

· Dual encoders, home input and forward and reverse limits accepted for every axis

· 8 uncommitted inputs and 8 outputs

· 8 uncommitted analog inputs

· 64 configurable I/O

· High speed position latch and output compare

· 2nd FIFO for instant access to status and parameters

· Sinusoidal commutation for brushless servo motors

· High-density shielded cables and optical isolation for noise immunity. CE certified.
