GE GALIL DMC9940 Advanced Motion Controller

Core feature: Empowering complex motion control requirements

The core competitiveness of DMC9940 lies in its deeply optimized hardware architecture and software algorithms, which can be summarized as follows:

1. Multi axis collaboration and high-precision control

The controller supports up to 8-axis synchronous control, with inter axis linkage delay as low as microseconds, and can achieve complex trajectory control such as linear interpolation, arc interpolation, spline curve interpolation, etc. The positioning accuracy reaches ± 0.1 pulse equivalent, meeting the strict precision requirements of precision machining, semiconductor packaging and other scenarios. Its built-in PID+feedforward control algorithm can effectively suppress load disturbances and mechanical vibrations, ensure the smoothness of the motion process, and reduce positioning errors.

2. Powerful computing and expansion capabilities

Equipped with a high-performance 32-bit microprocessor with a computing speed of up to 100MHz, it can simultaneously process multiple sets of motion instructions and I/O signals, supporting complex logic judgment and real-time data processing. Rich expansion interfaces, including industrial communication interfaces such as EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, RS-485, as well as digital input/output interfaces and analog interfaces, can easily interface with servo motors, sensors, human-machine interfaces (HMI) and other peripherals, adapting to different automation system architectures.

3. Flexible programming and debugging experience

Support GALIL exclusive G language programming, with concise and easy to understand syntax, and compatible with IEC 61131-3 standard structured text (ST), ladder diagram (LD) and other programming methods, reducing engineers’ learning and development costs. The accompanying GalilTools debugging software provides a visual operation interface, which can monitor the axis motion status in real time, modify control parameters, record motion trajectories, and facilitate quick troubleshooting and optimization of control solutions.

4. High reliability and industrial grade protection

Adopting industrial grade components and modular design, the working temperature range is wide up to -40 ℃~85 ℃, which can adapt to harsh industrial environments. Equipped with multiple protection functions such as overcurrent, overvoltage, overheating, and position deviation, it can respond to abnormal situations in a timely manner, protect the safety of controllers and peripherals, reduce equipment failure risks, and enhance production continuity.
