General Description
Trio can supply a range of Input/Output Modules for the PCI 208. The Motion
Coordinator controllers allow for I/O expansion by having a CAN interfaces. The
PCI 208 has 2 built-in CAN interfaces of which channel A is always used for Trio I/
O modules. This allows the I/O modules to form a network up to 100m in length.
The Trio I/O modules use a dedicated protocol which must be run on a physically
separate CAN interface to CANopen or DeviceNet.
If the built-in Trio protocol is
not to be used it is necessary to set the CANIO_ADDRESS value to a value other
than it’s default of 32.
CAN 16-I/O Module (P315)
The CAN 16-I/O Module allows the 24 volt digital inputs and outputs of the
Motion Coordinator to be expanded in blocks of 16 bi-directional channels.
Up to 16 CAN 16-I/O Modules may be connected allowing up to 256 I/O channels
in addition to the internal channels built-in to the PCI 208
Motion Coordinator .
Each of the 16 channels in each module is bi-directional and can be used either as
an input OR as an output.
Convenient disconnect terminals are used for all I/O connections.
