Using This Manual
This user manual provides information for proper operation of the DMC-13X8 controller. The
appendix to this manual contains information regarding the accessories to these controllers. A separate
supplemental manual, the Command Reference, contains a description of the commands available for
use with the controller.
Your motion controller has been designed to work with both servo and stepper type motors.
Installation and system setup will vary depending upon whether the controller will be used with
stepper motors or servo motors. To make finding the appropriate instructions faster and easier, icons
will be next to any information that applies exclusively to one type of system. Otherwise, assume that
the instructions apply to all types of systems. The icon legend is shown below.
Attention: Pertains to servo motor use.
Attention: Pertains to stepper motor use.
Please note that many examples are written for the DMC-1348 four-axes controller. Users of the
DMC-1338 3-axis controller, DMC-1328 2-axes controller, or DMC-1318 1-axis controller should
note that the DMC-1338 uses the axes denoted as XYZ, the DMC-1328 uses the axes denoted as XY,
and the DMC-1318 uses the X-axis only. The axes A,B,C,D may be used interchangeably with
X,Y,Z,W for any of the DMC-13X8 regardless of the number of axes.
This manual was written for the DMC-13X8 firmware revision 1.1 and later. For a DMC-13X8
controller with firmware previous to revision 1.1, please consult the original manual for your
hardware.
