To
meet demand from large OEM customers for an economical multi-axis
Motion Coordinator with a small footprint, Trio has used advanced
FPGA techniques to reduce the size of a four-axis servo/stepper controller
to fit on a single Eurocard. A fifth axis can be added on an expansion
connector which will take standard Trio axis and communications daughter
boards. User Programs are written in Trio’s established Multi-Tasking
BASIC and applications can be developed using the Windows based Motion
Perfect environment. Complex motion profiles are available and these
can be linked to a master encoder input for Slaving, Gearing and Cams.
The
unit has 24 opto-isolated digital I/O (16 inputs & 8 outputs)
on board. Ultra fast hardware registration inputs are available
on each axis for highly accurate control of print and packaging
lines.
The
I/O count can be expanded using Trio CANbus Digital I/O and Analogue
Input modules. The CAN link also allows peer to peer communication
between Motion Coordinators. The Euro205 has two built in RS-232
ports. In addition, two further serial channels are available at
TTL levels. External adapters are available to allow one of these
serial ports to be linked to a full-duplex RS-485 channel and the
second to be used to link to Trio Fibre Optic Network devices.
