What to do if Galil DMC-1510 Controller rejects command?
If your Galil Controller rejects a command and responds with a '?', it indicates an invalid command. You can find the cause by using the TC or TC1 commands to interrogate the controller.
How to troubleshoot communication issues with Galil DMC-1510 using COMDISK and TALK2DMC?
If you're using COMDISK and TALK2DMC and can't communicate with the Galil controller, here are a few things to check: * Verify the baud rate switch positions and software registry settings. * Ensure hardware handshaking is enabled by setting the Hardware HSHK DIP switch, as it's required for Galil Software. * Confirm you're using the correct serial cable, either the one supplied by Galil or one with the correct pinouts. * Check that the Com Port specified in the registry settings is correct.
Why does my Galil DMC-1510 motor oscillate?
If the motor oscillates when the loop is closed in your Galil controller setup, it's likely due to excessive gain or insufficient damping. To resolve this, decrease the KI and KP values, and increase the KD value.
What to do if Galil Controller motor runs away when the loop is closed?
If the motor runs away when the loop is closed with the Galil controller, the feedback polarity is likely incorrect. To fix this, invert the polarity of the loop by inverting either the motor leads (for brush type motors) or the encoder.
Why does Galil DMC-1510 Controller motor not complete move?
If the motor doesn't complete its move with the Galil controller, it could be due to noise on the limit switches stopping the motor. Verify this by checking the stop code (SC). If limit switch noise is the cause, reduce the noise.
Why does Galil Controller motor drift slowly during periodic operation?
If, during a periodic operation, the motor drifts slowly with the Galil controller, it could be due to encoder noise or a programming error. To check for encoder noise, periodically interrogate the position; if the controller indicates the position is the same at different locations, it implies encoder noise. Reduce the noise and consider using differential encoder inputs. Also, avoid resetting position error at the end of the move with the SH command, as this could be caused by a programming error.
What to do if Galil DMC-1510 does not read encoder position because of a bad encoder?
If the Galil Controller doesn't read changes in encoder position, the encoder might be faulty. Check the encoder signals and replace the encoder if necessary.
What to do if Galil DMC-1510 does not read encoder position because of a bad controller?
If the Galil Controller doesn't read changes in encoder position, the controller itself might be faulty. Connect the encoder to a different axis input. If it works on a different axis, it indicates a controller failure. Repair or replace the controller.
Why does Galil Controller motor run away when connected to amplifier?
If the motor runs away when connected to the amplifier with no additional inputs, it indicates that the amplifier offset is too large. Adjust the amplifier offset to correct this issue.
What to do if Galil DMC-1510 Controller motor still runs away after offset adjustment?
If the motor still runs away after adjusting the offset, it suggests the amplifier is damaged. Replace the amplifier.
