Learn only one programming environment
A single programming interface for motion and machine control up to 64 axes of coordinated motion, Motion Perfect is designed to make setup, diagnostics, commissioning and using our range of Motion Coordinators as simple as possible. Program in IEC 61131-3 and Motion-iX languages to best fit your application. Motion Perfect provides the user with an easy to understand Windows based interface for rapid application development, controller configuration and monitoring of controller processes. The integrated UNIPLAY system makes HMI screen development quick and easy.
Easy programming of complex motion
The Motion-iX programming language is a powerful suite of instructions and tools developed
over 24 years It makes even the most advanced motion programming easy and provides ease of
programming for many complex applications. With multitasking and subroutine capabilities, it
allows users to create modular programs, ideal for code reuse and better readability thus saving
valuable time.
The syntax is similar to that of other structured BASIC systems. Functions
include:
- Linear, Circular, Helical and spherical interpolation
- Variable speed / acceleration profiles
- Electronic gearboxes
- Electronic cam profiles generate motion based on the position of another axis or based on time
- Superimpose multiple moves / cams to generate the final motion
- High Speed Registration; ideal for adding motion into continuous processes
- Communication functions enabling interface to HMI or SCADA type systems
- All of our programming and utility software is FREE with no support charges or licence fees
Modular architecture saves costs
A range of Motion Coordinators, with unique modular design to make sure that whatever the drive, motor and feedback type you choose, you can control it simply, with only the hardware needed. Then only pay for the features that you use on the controller, saving cost and reducing the panel space required.
Protect your investment with program encryption
Protect your software inside the controller, allowing you to maintain any in house intellectual property and stay ahead of your competition.
The Project Encryptor is a utility that enables a programmer's intellectual property to be licenced to individual Motion Coordinators. A project is developed normally using Motion Perfect and then encrypted. Once encrypted the program is safe to distribute and can only be loaded to a controller with a correct key, which is unique to both the controller serial number and source project.
- Licence your intellectual property
- Greater security for machine exporters
- Allows diagnostic access for maintenance purposes and program upgrades in the field whilst protecting IP
Your choice of drive interface
Choose your digital drive network from one of the many standard drive communications protocols supported. Simple to select and integrate, it gives you ultimate flexibility. The future of motion is real-time digital networked technology. We support these communications networks for drives:
- Panasonic Real Time Express RTEX for MINAS A4N, 5N and 6N series
- Sercos
- Control Techniques SLM & PLM
- CANopen
- EtherCAT
Your choice of factory communication
The support of many factory communication protocols makes sure that factory automation systems can communicate with our equipment. The ability to communicate with standard factory automation equipment will drive future productivity gains within larger organisations. Protocols available include:
- EtheCAT I/O
- Ethernet IP
- Modbus-TCP/IP
- CANopen Master
- Device net Slave
- Trio I/O
- CC Link
- Profibus
- Profinet I/O
- Modbus-RTU
Your choice of programming methods
We think that Motion-iX will solve all your programming needs, however, if you have learnt another standard programming language we support G Code and IEC 61131 programming methods. Your choice!
G Code is widely output from CADCAM systems for CNC machines. Our system interprets standard G and M codes through an interpreter. This gives you the flexibility to change the support for custom G or M codes.
The built in industry standard IEC 61131 runtime, is an easy to use full function PLC programming system.
Integrated into the target Motion Coordinator the runtime kernel allows multiple PLC tasks to be run and has access to all I/O and distributed I/O. The IEC 61131 program has access to all Trio motion commands, axis parameters, VR and Table memory.
Make your machine perform faster
Better motion control leads to faster cycle time and optimal machine performance. Our Motion Coordinators are designed to deliver higher machine performance; better position control, better accuracy and higher speed. Stay ahead of your competition and offer your customers an advantage
Reduce machine delivery times
Cut the time required to program motion and reduce the cost of integration and programming. Our customers are testament to the fact that using Trio Motion Coordinators helps them deliver products quickly and win more business. Also we have lots of small features designed to save valuable time while making a machine.
- Using a plug & play digital drive interface reduces the number of wire terminations per axis
- Use SD memory to store or transfer recipes, collected data, programs & configuration data
Customise and embed
Are you planning to upgrade your machine design, or control front end for your drive? Not seen exactly what you are looking for in our standard range? We can offer a customised embedded solution to suit your exact needs. If you are manufacturing 200 machines per annum then talk to the Trio team and find out how adaptable our technology is.
