MC206Motion Coordinator (P135)
Not In Production

The Motion Coordinator MC206 provides unprecedented computational speed with flexibility, and comprehensive connectivity.

The MC206 is based on our high-performance 32-bit DSP technology and provides up to 5 axes of servo or stepper control, plus a master encoder input. Our Engineers used advanced FPGA techniques to reduce the size and fit 4 axes of stepper and servo circuitry in a compact DIN-rail mounted package. An expansion connector is fitted to add a fifth axis or any other standard daughter option board.

User programs are written in our established multi-tasking BASIC language using the powerful Motion Perfect development software. Complex motion such as cams, gears, linked axes, and interpolation is made easy with the comprehensive BASIC command set. The MC206 has 16 opto-isolated digital I/O (8 in, 8 bi-directional). A high-speed hardware registration input is available on each axis for highly accurate control of print and packaging lines.

The I/O count can be expanded using Trio CANbus digital and analog modules. The MC206 offers wide communications capability with two RS-232 serial ports, an RS-485 port, a TTL serial port, a USB port and a CAN channel as standard. Adapters are available to convert the TTL port to Trio’s fibre-optic network. A memory stick used with the MC206 allows a simple means of transferring programs without a PC connection offering the OEM easy machine replication and servicing.
