The
Trio MC202 is a compact DIN rail mounted Motion
Coordinator based on
Trio’s proven high performance 32 bit DSP
technology. It has been designed to provide a
compact, costeffective solution for OEM applications.
The unit features two axes, the first of which
can be configured either for either servo (with
encoder feedback) or stepper (with step/direction
outputs) control. The second axis may be either
a reference encoder OR a stepper axis
The MC202 features Trio’s Multi-tasking
BASIC language which allows true pre-emptive multi-tasking
of up to 3 simultaneous processes. This allows
parts of a complex application to be developed,
tested and run independently, although the tasks
can share data and motion control hardware.
Each
axis may run moves using linear or circular interpolation,
electronic cams and gearboxes. Support is provided
for continuously rotating machinery and the inputs
may be configured for accurate hardware registration.
The
MC202 has 4 built in 24v inputs and 4 built-in bi-directional
input/output channels. These may be used for system
interaction or may be defined to be used by the
Motion Coordinator for end of travel limits, datuming
and feedhold functions if required. The MC202 can
have up 256 external Input/Output channels and up
to 32 analog input channels connected using DIN
rail mounted I/O modules. These units connect to
the built-in CAN channel of the MC202 The MC202
has a built in RS-232 port. In addition a further
serial channel is available at TTL levels. External
adapters are available to allow this serial port
to be linked to a full-duplex RS-485 channel or
a Trio membrane keypad on a fibre-optic link.
