Fast Update Rate Mode
The DMC-40x0 can operate with much faster servo update rates than the default of every millisecond. This mode is
known as ‘fast mode’ and allows the controller to operate with the following update rates:
DMC-4010
31.25 µsec
DMC-4020
31.25 µsec
DMC-4030
62.5 µsec
DMC-4040
62.5 µsec
DMC-4050
93.75 µsec
DMC-4060
93.75 µsec
DMC-4070
125 µsec
DMC-4080
125 µsec
In order to run the DMC-40x0 motion controller in fast mode, the fast firmware must be uploaded. This can be done
through the GalilTools communication software. The fast firmware is included with the original DMC-40x0
utilities.
In order to set the desired update rates, use the command TM.
When the controller is operating with the fast firmware, the following functions are disabled:
Gearing mode
Ecam mode
Pole (PL)
Analog Feedback (AF)
Stepper Motor Operation (MT 2,-2,2.5,-2.5)
Trippoints in thread 2-8
Tell Velocity Interrogation Command (TV)
Aux Encoders (TD)
Dual Velocity (DV)
Peak Torque Limit (TK)
Notch Filter (NB, NF, NZ )
PVT Mode (PV, BT)
