RTEX Interface
print printer friendly

P871

For use with the latest range of Panasonic MINAS A5N amplifiers supporting the Panasonic Real Time Express (RTEX) network. Allows Plug & Play interconnection with Shielded twisted pair (TIA/EIA-568B CAT5e or more) Ethernet cables.

A single interface supports up to 32 axes of Panasonic MINAS A5N amplifiers. The module comes with 2 axes enabled. Further axes can be enabled with ‘Feature Enable Codes’

See the advantage obtained when Trio's Motion Coordinator MC464 is used with Panasonic A5N Digital drives.

Installation ‘easy as 1-2-3’...

Installing your system is easy! Simply connect Power, Motor & Feedback to the amplifier using supplied cables.
Connect motion control & amplifier using network cable with RJ45 connectors and Power up the system.
The MC464 recognises the amplifiers and installs support automatically.

Seamless Integration - motor to controller...

Learn only one Programming Environment for commissioning, programming and accessing the integrated diagnostics available from amplifier & controller. High reliability deterministic data communications increases reliability and noise immunity of the system.

Flexibility...

Trio’s unique Modular Architecture allows you control. 64 Axes under a single coordinate system, you can add whatever drive, motor and feedback type to work in perfect harmony alongside the Panasonic drives.

Performance...

Increase the performance of your system using the advanced adaptive filters, notch filters and damping control to increase the performance and stability of the motion system. Run the machine at higher speeds and take advantage of the 64 bit integer precise position registers to increase system accuracy.

Your choice of Factory communications...

The support of many Factory communication protocols ensures that factory automation systems can communicate with our equipment. We even have the AnyBus technology enabling support for future communication networks.

Your choice of programming methods...

We think that Trio Basic will solve all your programming needs, however if you have learnt another standard programming language we support G Code and IEC 61131 programming methods. Your choice! The IEC 61131 runtime is an easy to use full function PLC. Integrated into the Motion Coordinator the runtime kernel allows multiple PLC tasks to be run and has access to all I/O and distributed I/O.
