Compact motion coordinator is based on ARM

A Micromech product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Feb 19, 2004

Based on high-performance 32-bit ARM technology, a compact motion coordinator offers 64MHz performance and programs are written in multi-task BASIC using powerful development software.

Those clever people at Trio have produced the MC302-K Motion Coordinator that fits within the Danaher ServostarTM digital drives to provide an easy to use 11/2 axes motion controller with sophisticated features.

The module simply clips into the S600 or S300 option slot and is powered by the drive.

Based on Trio's latest high-performance 32-bit ARM technology, the MC302-K offers 64MHz performance in a compact package.

It's user programs are written in their established multi-tasking BASIC language using the powerful Motion Perfect development software.

Storage is accomplished in the 120k byte user programme memory.

Complex motion such as cams, gears, linked axes, and interpolation is made easy with the comprehensive BASIC command set and additional BASIC commands make it easy to set-up and control the drive features and parameters.

The MC302-K has 12 opto-isolated digital inputs and 8 opto-isolated digital outputs built-in.

In addition users can directly access the digital and analogue I/O provided by the drive.

A wide communications capability is available with a CAN interface for DeviceNet and an RS232 port for HMI with Modbus RTU support.

Additional I/O can be provided using the CAN 8 Analogue Input and CAN 16 Digital - I/O Modules.

Features: * 95mm x 140mm x 20mm.

* Plug-in card for S600/S300 option slot mounting.

* Forward/reverse limit, datum, feedhold assignable control inputs.

* Pre-emptive multi-tasking Trio BASIC.

* Virtual axis for move superimposition.

* 1.5 Axes: servo and synchronisation encoder.

* 12 opto-isolated and 5 opto-isolated drive inputs.

* 8 opto-isolated and 2 opto-isolated drive outputs.

* 2 x 16 bit analogue inputs and 2 x 16 bit analogue outputs from drive.
