Motion Perfect v3 Motion Perfect Projects One of the keys to using Motion Perfect v3 is its concept of a “Project”. The project aids the application design and development process, by providing a disk based copy of the multiple controller programs, parameters and data required for a single motion application. Once the user has defined a project, Motion Perfect v3 works behind the scenes automatically maintaining consistency between the programs on the controller and the files on the PC. When creating or editing programs on the controller they are automatically duplicated on the PC which means...

TRIO MOTION TECHNOLOGY PRODUCT BROCHURE-8

With IEC 61131-3, programming of PLCs, distributed control systems, and motion controllers from different manufacturers is more manageable. IEC 61131-3 is the third part of the open international standard IEC 61131 for programmable logic controllers, first published in 1993 by the IEC then later revised in 2003. Trio's latest MC4 range of controllers support Ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD), Sequential Function Chart (SFC), and Structured Text (ST) programming methods in additional to TrioBASIC. Trio controllers utilize a runtime IEC kernel with added motion and parameter functions...

Free Support Software 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. Typically the path information will be drawn on a single layer in the CAD package and exported as a DXF file. The DXF file (layer with motion path only) is read into CAD2Motion to create a program to follow the motion path. The motion path can be manipulated and edited before being saved as a TrioBASIC program file that can be loaded onto a Trio Motion Coordinator. CamGen is easy to use as the most commonly used...

TRIO MOTION TECHNOLOGY PRODUCT BROCHURE-11

PRODUCTS The Motion Coordinator system is extremely modular, allowing the user to tailor the controller to their specific applications, this also allows the flexibility to incorporate new modules if the need should change, making the system “future proof”. Systems may be used with a stand alone program or alternatively commands can be sent from an external computer. All Motion Coordinators, whether panel mount, rack mount, DIN-rail mount or a custom design format, incorporate a CANbus interface allowing digital or analogue I/O expansion with Trio’s I/O modules. Special I/O requirements can also...
