Galil DMC-4040 - X-Y Table Controller

The input signal may be applied to I1, for example, and the output signal is chosen as output 1. The motor velocity
profile and the related input and output signals are shown in Fig. 7.1.
The program starts at a state that we define as #A. Here the controller waits for the input pulse on I1. As soon as
the pulse is given, the controller starts the forward motion.
Upon completion of the forward move, the controller outputs a pulse for 20 ms and then waits an additional 80 ms
before returning to #A for a new cycle.

X-Y Table Controller
An X-Y-Z system must cut the pattern shown in Fig. 7.2. The X-Y table moves the plate while the Z-axis raises and
lowers the cutting tool.
The solid curves in Fig. 7.2 indicate sections where cutting takes place. Those must be performed at a feed rate of 1
inch per second. The dashed line corresponds to non-cutting moves and should be performed at 5 inch per second.
The acceleration rate is 0.1 g.
