 Spiral motion
Some applications require the use of spiral motion, for example, in the glue laying industry. This tech note shows how this can be achieved using a Motion Coordinator without having to program the movement into a cam profile.

Electro-hydraulic applications...
 The Motion Coordinator range from Trio is mostly associated with the control of electric drives using some form of digital feedback device. Incremental and absolute rotary or linear encoders are typical feedback devices used in electric servo systems. However, the world does not end with electric drives so with it's fast loop closure update rate, up to 250usec, and software 5-term PID servo algorithm the Motion Coordinator is being used more and more in electro-hydraulic applications.

 Form-fill-seal...
If you are just starting a Trio BASIC application and are looking for inspiration, then our technical support team may have the answer. From time to time we produce application notes which describe in detail how to go about constructing a machine program.
Here is one such example which shows how to build a program to control a vertical bag making machine. This type is often referred to as "Form-Fill-Seal" as it makes the bag, fills it with product and seals/cuts the end of the bag in one continuous cycle. |

Did You Know?
Here are our five tips to help speed up your use of Motion Perfect:
1. Quick connection...
Quickly connect and
disconnect to your Motion Coordinator using the shortcuts
CTRL+ALT+C to
connect and CTRL+ALT+D to
disconnect.
2. Need a new program?
Simply by
pressing CTRL+N to add a new program
3. Clean code layout...
Rather than spending time
formatting the tab alignment of your TrioBasic code, simply select "Tools"..
"Reformat" in the editor window and let Motion Perfect Format it for you.
4. Fed-up opening the same windows
every time you connect?
Select the "Restore destop on reconnect" from the
"Options".. "General Options" dialogue.
5. Finished programming your machine?
Do not forget to fix the programs in EPROM using the "Fixed" radio button at the
top of the Control Pannel.
