Preliminary Concepts:
Trio Motion Technology
Preliminary checks
All wiring should be checked for possible misconnection and integrity before
any power is applied.
• Disconnect all external connectors from the system, apart from the
CANBus and ribbon cable bus (only required if using an Axis Expander
module)
• Check bank selector switches on any Axis Expander modules, and the
module address DIP switches on the CAN I/O
• Apply power to system and check the 24v power input on master module.
• Connect a serial lead between serial port 0 (or connector A) on the
controllerand an unused serial port on your PC.
Checking Communications and System Configuration
• Ensure that the serial lead is connected between the Motion Coordinator
master (serial connector A) and a free serial port on the computer.
• Apply 24v to the Motion Coordinator.
• Run Motion Perfect on the computer. When Motion Perfect detects a
controller press the OK button. If this is the first time you have connected
you will need to select the “New Project” option when Motion Perfect tries
to ensure that your “Project” on the controller matches its copy on disk.
• When the “Project Consistent” message is received in the “Check Project”
window you know:
1
Motion Perfect has made a serial connection between your PC and the
controller.
2
Motion Perfect has an exact copy of the programs on the controller.
• The controller hardware configuration can now be checked using the
“Controller configuration” option under the “Controller” menu. Motion
Perfect draws a graphical representation of your system, as shown below.
