Hi all,
I am using GAlil DMC-4040 drive for my experiments. Is it possible to run the drive without PC(Boot start, with out PC)? If yes can anyone suggest a way to do this task.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi tejswrp,
Yes, you can have a program with a #AUTO in it. You will need to burn the program with BP. Upon power up, thread 0 will start executing from #AUTO. I would recommend looking at the User Manual and Command Reference for more details. http://www.galil.com/downloads/manuals-and-data-sheets

Thanks a lot for the help.
I'm using encoders for position feedback and for my application I've to store the encoder data(Position of the Motor) continuously in non volatile memory and immediatly after the power up Ive to load the stored encoder position in the last run as the current position of the motor. I've been referring to BN command."TP" Command is not a valid command for BN command. So is there any other way to store the encoder data continuously and restore it back immediatly after power up.

Hi tejswrp,
You can store the value in a variable or array and use the BV command.
I will warn that there are a finite amount of burns available (about 1 million), so take care to not have a high frequency of burn commands - especially if the burn commands are in DMC code embedded on the controller. A general rule of thumb is about 1 or 2 times a day. If you need a higher frequency - I might suggest using a host PC or some other backup device - possibly using a UPS if needed.
