How To Set Up The Galil 21×3 Controller For Camsoft CNC Controller

How To Set Up The Galil 21×3 Controller For Camsoft CNC Controller

Ethernet motion cards are convenient in that they do not need to be installed directly into the computer thus allowing you to use a laptop computer as the machine tool controller as long as the laptop has a network interface card (NIC) installed for Ethernet connectivity. These cards are equipped with a DIN rail mount for easy mounting to any cabinet. Ethernet motion cards are not recommended for high-speed applications. If high feed rates with tight geometry profiles like splined surfacing are required, then the PCI version of the motion card is recommended.

Installation Procedure for Windows 10

IMPORTANT! Install CamSoft software before you install the motion card.

IMPORTANT! CamSoft DOES NOT recommend that you install any motion card manufacturer software on the same computer with the CamSoft software.
