Firmware enhancements for several Ethernet controllers are available for free download from Galil Motion Control. Controllers affected include Accelera, Optima, DMC-18×2 PCI, and DMC-21×3. Revised firmware provides new commands for stepper motor fault detection and for electronic cam mode. Motor fault detection lets the controller actively handle stepper position error caused by stalling or skipping. For electronic cam mode, an upgrade adds an EW (ECAM widen) command that lets the user specify varying intervals between master positions and corresponding slave positions. Upgrades can be downloaded from www.galilmc.com/support/download.html .
