The DMC 1300 series motion controller is a state-of-the-art motion controller that plugs into the VME Bus. Performance capability of the DMC 1300 series controllers includes: 8 MHz encoder input frequency, 16-bit motor command output DAC, ±2 billion counts total travel per move, sample rate at up to 125 µsec/axis, 16-bit Dual Port RAM, bus interrupts and non-volatile memory for parameter storage. These controllers provide high performance and flexibility while maintaining ease of use and low cost.
Designed for maximum system flexibility, the DMC 1300 is available for one, two, three or four axes configuration per card. An add-on card is available for control of five, six, seven or eight axes. The DMC 1300 can be interfaced to a variety of motors and drives including step motors, servo motors and hydraulic systems.
Each axis accepts feedback from a quadrature linear or rotary encoder with input frequencies up to 8 million quadrature counts per second. For dual-loop applications in which an encoder is required on both the motor and the load, auxiliary encoder inputs are included for each axis.
The DMC 1300 provides many modes of motion, including jogging, point-to-point positioning, linear and circular interpolation, electronic gearing and user-defined path following. Several motion parameters can be specified including acceleration and deceleration rates and slew speed. The DMC 1300 also provides S-curve acceleration for motion smoothing.
For synchronizing motion with external events, the DMC 1300 includes 8 opto-isolated inputs, 8 programmable outputs and 7 analog inputs. 24 inputs and 16 programmable outputs are available for five through eight axes. Event triggers can automatically check for elapsed time, distance and motion complete.
Despite its full range of sophisticated features, the DMC 1300 is easy to program. Commands may be sent to the controller in either Binary or ASCII format. ASCII instructions are represented by two letter commands such as BG to begin motion and SP to set motion speed. Conditional Instructions, Jump Statements, and Arithmetic Functions are included for writing self-contained applications programs.
The DMC 1300 provides several error handling features. These include software and hardware limits, automatic shut-off on excessive error, abort input, and user-definable error and limit routines. In addition, the DMC 1300 has a full range of VME Bus interrupts.

Staff knows their stuff! Very knowledgeable and helpful. Very satisfied!
These people are amazing and absolutely *outstanding* at what they do. The customer service is terrific, every product is shipped to the exact specifications I ordered, and everyone has consistently bent over backwards to help me. They also carry a wide range of products and offer exceptional support. Very highly recommended!!!
Don’t worry about damage to your items during shipping – the box ours came in could have taken a beating and would have still survived!
Artisan isn’t just a supplier with inventory. Their engineers helped diagnose a problem over the phone that would have taken us weeks to figure out!
