DMC-1000 Chapter 2 Getting Started • 7
The WSDK software is highly recommended for first time users of the DMC-1000. It provides step-
by-step instructions for system connection, tuning and analysis.
Installing the DMC-1000
Installation of a complete, operational DMC-1000 system consists of 9 steps.
Step 1. Determine overall motor configuration.
Step 2. Configure jumpers on the DMC-1000.
Step 3. Install the DMC-1000 into the computer..
Step 4. Install communications software.
Step 5. Establish communications with Galil Software.
Step 6. Connect amplifiers and Encoders.
Step 7a. Connect standard servo motors.
Step 7b. Connect step motors.
Step 8. Tune the servo system
Step 1. Determine Overall Motor Configuration
Before setting up the motion control system, the user must determine the desired motor configuration.
The DMC-1000 can control any combination of standard servo motors, and stepper motors. Other
types of actuators, such as hydraulics can also be controlled, please consult Galil.
The following configuration information is necessary to determine the proper motor configuration:
Standard Servo Motor Operation:
The DMC-1000 has been setup by the factory for standard servo motor operation providing an analog
command signal of +/- 10V. No hardware or software configuration is required for standard servo
motor operation.
Stepper Motor Operation:
To configure the DMC-1000 for stepper motor operation, the controller requires a jumper for each
stepper motor and the command, MT, must be given. The installation of the stepper motor jumper is
discussed in the following section entitled "Installing Jumpers on the DMC-1000". Further
instruction for stepper motor connections are discussed in Step 7b.
Step 2. Configure Jumpers on the DMC-1000
The DMC-1000 has jumpers inside the controller box which may need to be installed. To access these
jumpers, the cover of the controller box must be removed. The following describes each of the
jumpers.
WARNING: Never open the controller box when AC power is applied to it.
For each axis that will be driving a stepper motor, a stepper mode (SM) jumper must be connected.
