Overview... The Trio Motion Module (TMM) is a compact Motion Coordinator based on Trio’s proven high performance 32 bit ARM technology. It incorporates all of the flexible motion commands of Trio's larger Motion Coordinators. It can be customised to be integrated inside your digital drive to provide a compact, cost effective solution for OEM applications. Using Trio's proven expertisesaves drive manufacturers or large volume OEM's many years of development effort. Windows support software is immediately available, as is a library of application programs. The PCB design can be easily customised to fit both physically and electrically. For high volumes the design and software can be licensed. The Motion Module features Trio’s Multi-tasking BASIC language which allows true pre-emptive multi-tasking of up to 3 simultaneous processes. This allows parts of a complex application to be developed, tested and run independantly, although the tasks can share data and motion control hardware. Up to 3 axes can be initialised in the software of each TMM. The built-in CAN networking enables distributed drive networks to be implemented. Features....
