Upgrade Path
The MC206X Motion Coordinator is based on Trio’s high-performance 32-bit DSP technology, providing unprecedented computational speed, flexibility, and connectivity.
Highlights
- Compact 107mm(H) x 182mm(W) x 53mm(D)
- Compact DIN-rail mounting box
- Pre-emptive multi-tasking TrioBASIC, maximum of 7 tasks
- Motion Perfect Application Development Software
- CAN Networking
- Multifunction Status LEDs
- UL Listed and CE Approved
Programming
Advanced FPGA techniques enable 4 axes of stepper and servo circuitry plus a master encoder input to be enclosed in a compact DIN-rail mounted package
Expansion
The MC206X has 16 opto-isolated digital I/O (8 in, 8 bi-directional). High speed hardware registration inputs are available for each axis where highly accurate control is required for applications such as print and packaging lines. The I/O count can be expanded using Trio CANbus digital and analogue modules.
Communication
Trio’s MC206X offers wide communications capability with 2 RS-232 serial ports, 1 RS-485 port, 1 TTL serial port, 1 USB port and 1 CAN channel as standard.

|
CAD2Motion The program allows the user to create motion paths in a CAD package such as AutoCAD and convert them into code executable by a Trio Motion Coordinator. |
|
CamGen CamGen allows import of a set of points from Excel to build a smooth motion profile in a few minutes. CamGen is included in Motion Perfect v4. |
|
AutoLoader A compact, self-contained package designed to allow simple distribution of projects written using Motion Perfect. Simply add the project to the Autoloader folder, edit a script file to provide control of the loading sequence and send to the customer. |
|
Trio MCLoader The Trio MC Loader is a Windows ActiveX control which can load projects (produced with Motion Perfect) and programs onto a Trio Motion Coordinator. Communication with the Motion Cordinator can be via serial link, USB, Ethernet or PCI depending on the Motion Coordinator. |
