Scott Equipment Company supports Galil Motion Control motion controllers, PLCs, EtherCAT products and related motion-control hardware for OEMs, machine builders and manufacturers throughout North and South Carolina.
Galil Motion Controllers, PLCs & EtherCAT Control
Galil Motion Control develops programmable motion controllers and PLCs for single-axis through complex multi-axis automation. Its current product line includes Ethernet motion controllers, EtherCAT master controllers, PCI motion controllers, EtherCAT smart drives, RIO programmable I/O products and backward-compatible controller families for installed Galil systems.
Precision Motion Control Since 1983
Galil Motion Control was founded in 1983 by Jacob Tal and Wayne Baron and introduced what the company identifies as the first microprocessor-based motion controller. Today Galil is headquartered in Rocklin, California, reports more than one million controllers sold worldwide and continues to focus on programmable motion control, machine I/O and application software.
Single-Axis Through 32-Axis Control
Current Galil platforms span economical single-axis control through high-axis-count EtherCAT systems, allowing the control architecture to scale with machine complexity.
Coordinated Motion & Machine I/O
Galil controllers support motion functions including independent positioning, jogging, linear and circular interpolation, electronic gearing, electronic camming, PVT and contour motion on applicable platforms, together with digital and analog I/O.
Controller-Level Programming
Galil controllers can execute application programs locally while communicating with host PCs and industrial systems, supporting machine logic, motion sequencing and I/O functions without requiring every action to originate from a host computer.
Explore Galil Motion-Control Products
Use these current Galil product families as a starting point for stand-alone machine motion, coordinated multi-axis automation, EtherCAT systems, PCI-based control, distributed I/O and legacy-controller migration.
Standard Ethernet Motion Controllers
The current standard-controller range includes the DMC-4000 premium multi-axis platform, DMC-4103 standard multi-axis controller and DMC-30000 single-axis family. The DMC-4000 supports up to 8 axes with 11 µs command processing, while the DMC-4103 provides 1–8 axes with Ethernet connectivity.

The DMC-52000 is an EtherCAT master for 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 axes with a 1 ms EtherCAT cycle. The DMC-50000 hybrid controller combines local Galil axes with EtherCAT control, supporting up to four local axes and up to eight EtherCAT axes with a maximum of eight combined.
Explore EtherCAT motion control →EDD-37010 EtherCAT Smart Drives
The EDD-37010 is a single-axis EtherCAT smart drive with a built-in amplifier and daisy-chain connectivity. Current versions include an 800 W sinusoidal servo amplifier, a 1.4 A microstepping drive and a 6 A microstepping drive, providing Galil-controlled EtherCAT axis options for servo and stepper applications.
Explore EDD EtherCAT drives →PCI Motion Controllers
Galil continues to offer PCI-bus motion control for PC-based systems. The DMC-1806 supports 1–8 axes with dual encoders per axis and expandable I/O, while the DMC-1802 supports economical 1–4 axis PCI applications.
Explore PCI motion controllers →RIO PLCs & Remote I/O
The RIO family includes compact Ethernet PLCs, DIN-rail PLCs and expanded dual-Ethernet models with configurable digital and analog I/O. The current RIO-57400 adds an EtherCAT remote-I/O slave with digital and optional analog I/O for distributed machine-control architectures.
Explore RIO PLCs and I/O →Backward-Compatible Controller Upgrades
Galil maintains current replacement paths for selected installed controller families. The DMC-4200 is positioned as a replacement for the DMC-2000 series, while the DMC-2105 is the modern successor to the DMC-2103 and supports 1–8 axes with Ethernet and RS232 connectivity.
Explore controller migration options →Help Select and Apply Galil Motion Control
Our Sales and Technical Teams can help review axis count, motor and encoder type, coordinated-motion requirements, I/O, servo or stepper drive needs, Ethernet/EtherCAT architecture and host-software requirements. We can also coordinate Galil controllers with motors, drives, sensors, HMIs and supporting automation components.
Controller Architecture Selection
Compare standard Ethernet, EtherCAT master and PCI architectures based on axis count, synchronization, host interface, remote I/O and machine-performance requirements.
Servo & Stepper Application Review
Review motor type, amplifier requirements, encoder feedback, voltage, current, tuning needs and motion profile when selecting a controller and drive configuration.
Legacy Controller Migration
Identify the installed Galil controller, amplifier, I/O, software and wiring architecture before evaluating a backward-compatible replacement or broader machine-control upgrade.
WBIYII Control Assemblies
Coordinate Galil controllers, I/O, power supplies, interconnects, terminals and related controls into repeatable WBIYII assemblies or installation-ready control packages.
Selection note: Final motion-control selection should be verified against axis count, motor and encoder compatibility, servo update requirements, coordinated-motion functions, I/O count, amplifier sizing, supply voltage, communication architecture and machine safety requirements. EtherCAT drive compatibility should also be confirmed for the exact controller, firmware and drive configuration.
Software, CAD, Training and Motion-Control Resources
Use these resources to configure Galil systems, write and test programs, tune axes, access CAD files and build familiarity with current Galil controller architecture.
Explore Supporting Automation Technologies
Galil controllers commonly integrate with servo and stepper motors, drives, HMIs, industrial networks, sensors, pneumatic devices and other machine-automation components.
