Please Note:
If you intend to use Trio's DocMaker application with Motion Perfect 2 then you will need to upgrade to the latest version, available from the downloads area. In some cases the installer may show "Error 1706". If this happens, please remove Motion Perfect completely from the P.C. and re-install from scratch.
Included with Motion Perfect are...
Motion Perfect Projects
One of the keys to using Motion Perfect 2 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 2 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 you do not have to worry about loading or saving programs and you can be confident that next time you connect to a controller you will have the correct information on your PC.
 Project Manager
The multi-tasking capability of Motion Coordinators means there will often be a number of different program files associated with an application. In order to keep track of these multiple files and their associated data a major component of the Motion Perfect 2 environment is the project manager.
Project Manager Features:
- Load and Save multiple programs as a single named project
- Simultaneous saving of program files to both the PC and the Motion Coordinator
- Verify contents of controller match the project file on disk
- Load and Save controller variables and table memory to disk
- Automatically generate controller “Startup” configuration files.

 CAD2Motion
CAD2Motion is a program designed to allow users to translate CAD generated two dimensional motion paths into Trio BASIC programs.
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 Trio BASIC program file which can be loaded on to a Trio Motion Coordinator.
- Can read Industry standard DXF files and TrioBASIC files.
- Outputs files as TrioBASIC programs.
- Graphical display of motion path with full pan and zoom facilities.
- Built in program text editor.
- Program list and graphical display linked together to show correlation between program code and moves within the motion path.
- Built in tools to mirror, scale, shift, reverse and rotate motion paths.
- Full undo on all tool and editor operations.
- Will handle multiple motion paths (sequences) in the same program.
Compatible with: MC20, MC21, MC202, Euro209, Euro205(x), MC206(X), MC2, MC224, PCI208, MC302X
In the interest of continual software development, CAD2Motion is likely to be updated on a regular basis. Please check to ensure you are using the latest version. Before downloading the software, please take a moment to read the Licence Agreement.

 CamGen
CamGen is easy to use as the most commonly used CAM shapes are pre-built, ready for you to enter the dimensions. Alternatively you can build shapes from tables of points and flexibly specify the shape in-between using curves and straight sections.
CamGen is so simple to use, you can import a set of points from Excel and build a smooth motion profile in a few minutes. CamGen exports TABLE statements ready to paste into a Motion Coordinator BASIC program. Or you can have more flexibility by using CamGen to write a BASIC routine, which will build the cam shapes while your machine is running.
CamGen even constructs example CAM and CAMBOX statements to put into your program.
- Easy specification of motion profiles commonly used in machinery
- Outputs files as TrioBASIC programs or TABLE points
- Graphical display of motion position/speed/acceleration curves
- Build piecewise curves with straight, polynomial and spline sections
- Generates example CAM/CAMBOX move statements
- Import sets of points from Excel
- Will handle multiple sector CAM shapes
Compatible with: MC202, MC204, MC216, Euro209, Euro205(x, MC206(X), MC2, MC224, PCI208, MC302L, MC302K, MC302X

 DocMaker
DocMaker analyses the content of the program files in a project. It can be used to print program listings and to report on the programs (variables, labels, I/O and VR’s) and on overall I/O and VR usage.
There is also a checking routine which does a quick check on the whole project and flags up possible errors.
DocMaker Benefits
- Automatic Analysis of MotionPerfect Project Files
- Highlight potential errors due to labels or variables
- Generates fully cross-referenced reports

 Project Encryptor
 PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT WITH PROGRAM ENCRYPTION...
Protect your software inside the controller, allowing you to maintain any in house intellectual property and stay ahead of your competition.
The Project Encryptor is a utility that enables a programmer’s intellectual property to be licenced to individual Motion Coordinators. A project is developed normally using Motion Perfect and then encrypted. Once encrypted the program is safe to distribute and can only be loaded to a controller with a correct key, which is unique to both the controller serial number and source project.
Project Encryptor is installed as part of the Motion Perfect software.
- Licence your intellectual property
- Greater security for machine exporters
- Allows diagnostic access for maintenance purposes and program upgrades in the field whilst protecting IP
Compatible with: MC202, MC204, MC216, Euro209, Euro205(x), MC206(X), MC2, MC224, PCI208, MC302L, MC302K, MC302X Click Here For Project Encryptor Tour
Autoloader
A compact, self-contained package designed to allow simple distribution of projects written using Motion Perfect. Simply add the project to the Autoloader folder, edit a script file to provide control of the loading sequence and send to the customer. The Autoloader, complete with project files is small enough to distribute efficiently via email and the end user needs only minimal PC knowledge to complete the loading process.
Compatible with: MC202, MC204, MC216, Euro209, Euro205(x), MC206(X), MC2, MC224, PCI208, MC302L, MC302K, MC302X
