The Motion Coordinator MC224 is a high performance
Motion Coordinator. Using a high speed 32-bit DSP processor it
provides up to 24 axes of servo or stepper control. The unit's
flexibility is achieved with Trio's innovative "daughter
board" concept.
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.
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
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 P170 and connected using the appropriate
Trio System Ribbon.
Note: P301 accepts any axis
daughter board, but NOT digital drive or fieldbus daughter boards.
