MC403-X Safety Warning During the installation or use of a control system, users of Trio products must ensure there is no possibility of injury to any person, or damage to machinery. Control systems, especially during installation, can malfunction or behave unexpectedly.
Programs and data are stored directly to Flash memory, thus eliminating the need for battery backed storage. The Multi-tasking version of Motion- iX for the MC403-X allows up to 6 Motion-iX programs to be run simultaneously on the controller using pre-emptive multi-tasking. In addition, the operating system software includes the IEC 61131-3 standard run-time environment (licence key required).
MC403-X The MC403-X has one built in RS232 port and one built in duplex RS485 channel for simple factory communication systems. Either the RS232 port or the RS485 port may be configured to run the Modbus or Hostlink protocol for PLC or HMI interfacing.
To reset the IP _ ADDRESS, IP _ GATEWAY and IP _ NETMASK to their default values press the IP reset button and power cycle the controller while keeping the button pressed. MC403-X SERIAL CONNECTIONS The MC403-X features two serial ports. Both ports are accessed through a single 8 pin connector. Document Version: 1.00...
Serial port #2 MC403-X PULSE OUTPUTS / ENCODER INPUTS The MC403-X is designed to support any combination of servo and pulse input motor drives on the standard controller hardware. The MC403-X has 3 versions, which are selected by applying Feature Enable Codes (FECs) 1) 2 axis as either encoder or pulse output.
*5V supply is limited to 150mA (shared with serial port) REGISTRATION Each MC403-X encoder port has 2 available registration events. These are assigned in a flexible way using REG_INPUTS to any of the 8 digital inputs or can be used with the Z mark input on the encoder port.
MC403-X 24V d.c., Class 2 transformer or power source required for UL compliance. The MC403-X is grounded via the metal chassis. It MUST be installed on an unpainted metal plate or DIN rail which is connected to earth. An earth screw is also provided on the rear of the chassis for bonding the MC403-X to ground.
ANALOGUE OUTPUTS The MC403-X has 2 12-bit analogue outputs scaled at +/-10V. Each output is assigned to one servo axis, or in the case where the axis is not used, or is set as a Document Version: 1.00...
A 24V d.c. supply must be applied to I/O connector 1 to provide power for the analogue output circuit. LED DISPLAY On power-up, the LEDs flash to show the MC403-X version and the SD card status. P865 2 axis pulse output version: 3 flashes of the RED LED.
