DMC-13X8/DMC-1300 Comparison
BENEFIT DMC-13X8 DMC-1300
Higher Speed communication Frees
host
Two communication channels-FIFO and
Polling FIFO
Only one channel- DPRAM
Instant access to parameters – real time
data processing & recording
Polling FIFO No Polling FIFO
Programs don’t have to be downloaded
from VME host but can be stored on
controller
Non-Volatile Program Storage No storage for programs
Can capture and save array data Variable storage No storage for variables
Parameters can be stored Array storage No storage for arrays
Firmware can be upgraded in field
without removing controller from PC
Flash memory for firmware
EPROM for firmware which
must be installed on controller
Faster servo operation – good for very
high resolution sensors
12 MHz encoder speed for servos 8 MHz
Faster stepper operation 3 MHz stepper rate 2 MHz
Higher servo bandwidth
62 μsec/axis sample time 125 μsec/axis
Expanded memory lets you store more
programs
1000 lines X 80 character program
memory
500 line X 40 character
Expanded variables 254 symbolic variables 126 variables
Expanded arrays for more storage—
great for data capture
8000 array elements in 30 arrays 1600 elements in 14 arrays
Higher resolution for analog inputs 8 analog inputs with 16-bit ADC option 7 inputs with 12-bit ADC only
Better for EMI reduction 100-pin high density connector
60-pin IDC, 26-pin IDC, 20-pin
IDC (x2)
For precise registration applications Output Position Compare Available only as a special
More flexible gearing
Multiple masters allowed in gearing
mode
One master for gearing
High speed software processing
Software commands processed within
200 – 350usec
Software commands processed
within 350 – 500usec
