How fast is a Galil controller?
Galil controllers use a 32-bit microprocessor for high speed performance. Galil’s Accelera controllers can update the servo loop as fast as 32 kHz assuring precise control of high bandwidth systems. Command processing is about 40 microseconds per command which is ten times faster than prior generation controllers. Accelera controllers accept encoder feedback at rates up to 22 MHz and control steppers at rates up to 6 MHz. In addition, a high speed position latch for each axis and an encoder compare output is provided for synchronizing position with external I/O to within 1 microsecond.
