Safety Warning
During the installation or use of control systems, users of Trio products must ensure that there is no possibility of injury to any
person or damage to machinery.
Control systems, especially during installation, can malfunction or behave unexpectedly. Bearing this in mind, users must
ensure that even in the event of a malfunction or unexpected behaviour, the safety of an operator or programmer is never
compromised.
5-Way ConneCtor
This is a 5 way 3.5mm pitch connector. The connector is used both to provide the 24 Volt power to
the MC508 and provide connections for I/O expansion via Trio’s CAN I/O expanders. A 24V dc, Class 2
transformer or power source must be provided as this powers the unit.
This 24 Volt input is fully isolated.

ethernet ConneCtor (rj45)
A standard Ethernet connector is provided for use as the primary programming interface.
The Trio programming software,
