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.
