What modes of motion can I perform with a Galil controller?
Modes of motion include point-to-point positioning, jogging, 2-D linear and circular interpolation, linear interpolation, contouring, position tracking, electronic gearing and ecam. The linear interpolation mode allows any arbitrary path on up to 8 axes to be defined as a set of linear segments. The contouring mode is ideal for “teaching” and accepts any arbitrary profile as a sequence of position and time increments. ECAM allows any slave axis or set of slave axes to be linked to a master axis to simulate the motion of a mechanical cam and electronic gearing makes it easy for Galil controllers to simulate the motion of mechanical gears. Galil can also customize controller firmware for special motion requirements.
