Focus on MC464 with Panasonic RTE Drive Interface... Motion Control goes 64 bit with Trio MC464... Trio's New MC464 Motion Coordinator provides an interface to various drive networks including SERCOS, SLM, ETHERCAT and Panasonic. In addition standard interfaces to analogue and pulse/direction drives are available. This Product Focus newsletter shows the advantage of the  MC464 with the Panasonic RTE Interface... Your Choice of Drive Digital Interface... Your Choice of Programming Methods... Easy Programming of Complex Motion... Modular Architecture Saves Costs... See the advantages of using  Trio's MC464 with Panasonic Digital drives. The MC464 along with two RTE 32 Panasonic modules will support up to 64 axes of Panasonic MINAS A4N amplifiers. The Trio RTE 32 comes with 4 axes enabled and further axes can be added with 'Feature Enable Codes'. Installation as Easy as 123... Installing your system is easy! Putting together your system with the MC464 from Trio and suitable servo-amplifiers / motors sourced from your Panasonic supplier couldn't be easier! Simply connect Power, Motor & Feedback to the amplifier using cables supplied by Panasonic. Connect the Motion Coordinator and amplifiers using network cable with RJ45 connectors... Power up the system... The MC464 recognises the amplifiers and installs support automatically. Seamless Integration - Motor to Controller... Learn only one Programming Environment for commissioning, programming and accessing the integrated diagnostics available from amplifier & controller. High reliability deterministic data communications increases reliability and noise immunity of the system. Trio's precise "position capture" and registration function further enhances the capability of the Panasonic drives. Registration... The Trio implementation of the Panasonic RTE interface solves a key limitation of the Panasonic A4N drives. 8 dedicated registration inputs built into the MC464 Panasonic RTE Interface have sub microsecond resolution to allow these low cost drives to be used for demanding applications in packaging, labelling and printing.  Up to 7 RTE Interfaces can be used when more registration inputs are required. Flexibility... Trio's unique Modular Architecture allows you control 64 Axes under a single coordinated system. You can add a range of drives and motor and feedback types to work in perfect harmony alongside the Panasonic drives.   Choice of Factory Communications and Programming Methods... The support of many Factory communication protocols ensures that factory automation systems can communicate with our equipment. We have included the AnyBus technology enabling support for future communication networks. We think that Trio Basic 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! The IEC 61131 runtime is an easy to use full function PLC. Integrated into the Motion Coordinator the runtime kernel allows multiple PLC tasks to be run and has access to all I/O and distributed I/O.  Modular Flexibility and Expansion for the MC464...
