Scalability

The MC403-X is available in three model format options supporting supports a variety of feedback encoder devices including:
Incremental quadrature
Incremental pulse
SSI
EnDat
Tamagawa
BiSS-C

Upgradability

The P865 is upgradable up to the P867 enabling you to add extra functionality by simply purchasing FEC Codes:
P818 - MC403-X Upgrade FEC (P865 to P866) P819 - MC403-X Upgrade FEC (P866 to P867)

Plug & Program

The built-in Ethernet port allows programming and connection of common HMI and PLC protocols directly to the MC403-X. User programs can be written in Trio’s established multi-tasking language using the powerful Motion Perfect application development software making complex motion easy. Also available as an option are the industry standard IEC 61131-3 languages allowing a fully functional PLC programming system.

Connectivity

The flexible axis ports can be configured in software as feedback devices or pulse direction outputs. As outputs they can be used as pulse and direction with stepper or servo drives or they can operate as a simulated encoder output. When configured as feedback they can be either incremental encoder input or one of four popular absolute encoder types; SSI, Tamagawa, Endat or Biss. Any feedback axis with a Voltage output can be used to form a closed loop servo.

Axis Configuration Key

Core functionality
CORE AXES – can be configured in software as pulse and direction outputs with stepper or servo drives. They can also be configured for incremental encoder feedback. Core functionality is a set of ATYPEs (Axis TYPEs) that are available on all controllers. They are based on pulse outputs and incremental encoder feedback.
ATYPE	Description
43	Pulse and direction output with enable output
45	Quadrature encoder output with enable output
63	Pulse and direction output with Z input
64	Quadrature encoder output with Z input
76	Incremental encoder with Z input
78	Pulse and direction with VFF_GAIN and enable output 1

Extended functionality
EXTENDED AXES – in addition to the Core functionality these axes can also be configured for absolute encoders and closed loop servos (requires voltage output). Only axes marked as AS have an analogue output and can be used for closed loop control. All Extended Axes can use these ATYPE's as feedback. If you want to just use the feedback and not complete a closed loop servo system set SERVO = OFF
ATYPE		Description
30		Analogue feedback Servo
44		Incremental encoder Servo with Z input
46		Tamagawa absolute Servo
47		Endat absolute Servo
48		SSI absolute Servo
60		Pulse and direction feedback Servo with Z input
77		Incremental encoder Servo with enable output
92		Biss absolute servo
