The Motion Coordinator system is extremely modular,

allowing the user to tailor the controller to their specific

applications, this also allows the flexibility to incorporate
new modules if the need should change, making the system
“future proof”. Systems may be used with a stand alone
program or alternatively commands can be sent from an
external computer. MOD

 The MC403 is a high specification Motion Coordinator using
a high performance ARM11 processor, with three flexible OVERALL DIMENSIONS:
axis ports and two Voltage outputs over a range of 5 model
variants.
The flexible axis ports can be configured in software as feedback devices or
pulse direction outputs. As outputs they can be used as pulse and direction with
stepper or servo drives or they can operate as a simulated encoder output. When

122mm

122mm
configured as feedback they can be either incremental encoder input or one of
three popular absolute encoder types; SSI, Tamagawa or Endat. Any feedback axis
with a Voltage output can be used to form a closed loop servo.
The built-in Ethernet port allows programming and connection of common HMI
and PLC protocols directly to the MC403. User programs can be written in Trio’s
established multi-tasking TrioBASIC language using the powerful Motion Perfect
v4 application development software making complex motion easy. Also available
as an option are the industry standard
186mm 35mmIEC 61131-3 languages allowing a fully 135mm 35mm
functional PLC programming system.
The MC403 is available in 2 model formats offering 5 different axis configurations. 40mm 12
The entry level MC403-Z does not have a built-in DAC. All models feature a total of
16 axes in software. Any axes not assigned to built-in hardware can be used as a
virtual axis. Every axis can be programmed to move using linear, circular, helical MC403-Z PRODUCT OPTIONS MC403 PRODUCT OPTIONS
