Galil DMC-1800 Manual De Usuario

 

Galil offers unsupported code examples that demonstrate communications to the controller using the following operating 
systems. 

DOS based utilities & Programming Libraries for Galil controllers, which includes a terminal, utilities to upload and 
download programs, and source code for BASIC and C programs. Download DMCDOS at

Linux 
Galil has developed code examples for the Linux operating system. The installation includes sample drivers to establish 
communication with Galil PCI and ISA controllers. The current version of the software has been tested under Redhat 6.X 
O.S. All source codes for the drivers and other utilities developed for Linux are available to customers upon request. 
Linux drivers are available for ISA and PCI cards under Kernel 2.2. Drivers are also available for the PCI card only for 
Kernel 2.4. 

For more information on downloading and installing the Linux drivers for Galil controllers, download the Linux manual

Galil offers sample drivers for ISA and PCI cards for the QNX 4.24 operating system. We also offer drivers and utilities 
for QNX 6.2 for PCI only. Download at

The DMC-1700/1800 provides a hardware interrupt line that will, when enabled, interrupt the PC.  This allows the 
controller to notify the host application of particular events occurring on the controller. Interrupts free the host from 
having to poll for the occurrence of certain events such as motion complete or excess position error.  

The DMC-1700/1800 uses only one of the PC’s interrupts; however, it is possible to interrupt on multiple conditions.  
For this reason, the controller provides a status byte register that contains a byte designating each condition. 

The DMC-1700/1800 provides an interrupt buffer that is 16 deep.  This allows for multiple interrupt conditions to be 
stored in sequence of occurrence without loss of data.   

The DMC-1700/1800 provides two command forms of interrupt functionality, EI and UI. Specific interrupt conditions 
can be enabled using the EI command, or explicit user defined interrupts can be sent using the UI command. 

 

 

To enable certain conditions, use the command EIm,n. Where the first field “m” represents a 16-bit 
value of conditions described in the table below. For example, to enable interrupts on X and Y motion 
complete and position error, set EI515 (i.e. 515=2

0

+2

1

+2

9

).  Once the EI command is enabled for a 

specific condition, an interrupt will occur for every instance of that condition, except for the items 
marked with an asterisk (*), they must be re-enabled after every occurrence.
