Using This Manual
This user manual provides information for proper operation of the daughter boards that connect to the
DMC-21x3 controllers. It also includes a small listing of commands that pertain to the daughter
boards. This is a subset of the commands listed in the command reference you received with your
motion controller.
Please note that many examples are written for the DMC-2143 four-axes controller or the DMC-2183
eight axes controller. Users of the DMC-2133 3-axis controller, DMC-2123 2-axes controller or
DMC-2113 1-axis controller should note that the DMC-2133 uses the axes denoted as XYZ, the DMC-
2123 uses the axes denoted as XY, and the DMC-2113 uses the X-axis only.
Examples for the DMC-2183 denote the axes as A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. Users of the DMC-2153 5-axes
controller denotes the axes as A,B,C,D,E. DMC-2163 6-axes controller denotes the axes as
A,B,C,D,E,F. DMC-2173, 7-axes controller denotes the axes as A,B,C,D,E,F,G. In other words, the
axes names A,B,C,D may be used interchangeably with X, Y, Z, W.
WARNING: Machinery in motion can be dangerous! It is the responsibility of the user to design
effective error handling and safety protection as part of the machine. Galil shall not be liable or
responsible for any incidental or consequential damages.

Chapter 1 Overview
________________________________________________________________________
Introduction
Galil’s DMC-21x3 series motion controllers connect with daughterboard modules that mount directly
on the motion controller. This eliminates the need for a separate cable between the motion controller
and the amplifier or breakout module. This approach saves the cost of the cable and significantly
reduces the real estate required for the controls within a system.
The DMC-21x3 uses a rugged 96 pin DIN board-to-board connector to interface the daughter boards
with the motion controller. The same controller can be ordered with different modules for different
system requirements. This controller series supports modules ranging from passive breakout modules
to 500W-per-channel brush and brushless servo drives to stepper and microstepper drives. Each
module breaks out the I/O provided by the controller and some of the boards also provide additional
I/O functions such as analog inputs or optoisolation. If you do not find the exact module you are
looking for, please contact Galil at 800-377-6329. We will work closely with you to create a module
that will fit your needs.
DC to DC Option
The DMC-21x3 series controllers can be ordered with an optional DC-to-DC converter so that a single DC
power supply can be used to power the controller (as opposed to the standard 5 V and +/-12 V input). This
can be ordered as either the –DC24 (18-36 VDC range) or –DC48 (36-72 VDC range). With the DC
option, a 4-pin molex power connector is provided for DC supply to controller at J99.

DC to DC Pass Through
When using the DC-to-DC converter in conjunction with the Galil amplifier daughter boards described in
this manual, there is an option to have the DC power supply input shared among both boards, which
alleviates the need to supply power to two connectors. Power is passed through from the amp to the
controller via the “Pass Through” header located at J98 (1-4 axes) or JP14 (5-8 axes) on the controller.
When using the pass through on a 1-4 axis DMC-21x3 controller, DC power must be applied only to the
amplifier’s power connector.
When using the pass through on a 5-8 axis DMC-21x3 controller, DC power must be applied to both
amplifier’s power connectors. Power is passed through to the controller only from the second (axes E-H)
amplifier
The proper DC-to-DC converter must be chosen so that the DC voltage range is compatible with the
amplifier and motor voltage requirements. The J98/JP14 header comes standard, hence the purchaser must
specify if they would not like this header present with –NOJ98.
