Trio • MC224 P170

The Motion Coordinator MC224 uses a high speed 32-bit DSP processor to provide up to 24 axes of servo control.

Highlights

Interpolates up to 24 axes in any combination.
Advanced Multi-tasking TrioBASIC with up to 14 simultaneous processes.
150Mhz 32 bit Floating Point DSP
1 Mbyte application memory
256k word dedicated TABLE memory
Individual Status LEDs
Micro SD Card interface
Fully integrates with Motion Perfect 2
UL Listed and CE Approved

Programming

Each axis may run moves using linear, circular or helical interpolation, electronic cams and gearboxes. Features include support for merging multiple moves that are typically generated by CAD/CAM software and support is provided for continuously rotating machinery. The daughter boards feature optional absolute or incremental feedback and accurate hardware registration.

Expansion

I/O expansion is provided via a built-in CAN Bus interface. Further CAN networks for controlling suitable servo amplifiers are supported via the CAN daughter board

Expandibility

Up to 4 daughter boards can be fitted in the MC224. The P301 Axis Expander provides additional daughter board space in blocks of 4. Up to 3 axis expanders can be used per MC224 master. MC224 and expanders must be sited next to each other left of the MC224 and connected using the appropriate Trio System Ribbon.

Software - Programming
Motion Perfect Motion Perfect is designed to make setup, diagnostics, commissioning and using our range of Motion Coordinators as simple as possible. It provides the user with an easy to understand Windows based interface for rapid application development, controller configuration and monitoring of controller processes.

Software - Support Apps
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.
Trio PCMotion PCMotion is an ActiveX component allowing direct connection to the Trio Motion Coordinator from a custom user application. It can be used to control any of the Motion Coordinator functionality as well as send text files down to the controller.
