The Motion Coordinator
MC206 is the latest addition to our powerful motion
control line providing unprecedented computational
speed with flexibility, and comprehensive connectivity.
The
MC206 is based on our high-performance 32-bit
DSP technology and provides up to 5 axes of servo
or stepper control, plus a master encoder input.
Our Engineers used advanced FPGA techniques to
reduce the size and fit 4 axes of stepper and
servo circuitry in a compact DIN-rail mounted
package. An expansion connector is fitted to add
a fifth axis or any other standard daughter option
board.
User programs are written in our established multi-tasking
BASIC language using the powerful Motion Perfect
development software. Complex motion such as cams,
gears, linked axes, and interpolation is made
easy with the comprehensive BASIC command set.
The MC206 has 16 opto-isolated digital I/O (8
in, 8 bi-directional). A high-speed hardware registration
input is available on each axis for highly accurate
control of print and packaging lines.
The I/O count can be expanded using Trio CANbus
digital and analog modules. The MC206 offers wide
communications capability with two RS-232 serial
ports, an RS-485 port, a TTL serial port, a USB
port and a CAN channel as standard. Adapters are
available to convert the TTL port to Trio’s
fibre-optic
network. A memory stick used with the MC206 allows
a simple means of transferring programs without
a PC connection offering the OEM easy machine
replication and servicing.
