Trio’s Ethernet Daughter Board features “plug and play” installation simplicity and brings remote monitoring and control over the web for the established MC206 and MC224

TM TM TM Motion Coordinator . Trio's comprehensive Motion Perfect Windows integrated development environment (IDE) and ActiveX communications control now includes TCP/IP network protocol support. This enables remote

TM debugging and development of Trio BASIC programs using Motion Perfect , and the ActiveX component assists end-user development of PC-based interface applications.

Trio's ActiveX component removes the complexity of developing PC-based machine interface applications. These can be developed using most of the popular tolls including Visual C, Visual Basic and Delphi, with network communications handled by simple method calls to the ActiveX programming.

TCP/IP has become the de-facto network standard for office and factory communications. The EthernetTM Daughter Board brings Internet connectivity to the MC206 and MC224 Motion Coordinators , enabling

remote performance monitoring, Trio BASIC program up/download, maintenance, diagnostics, and program development. Motion Coordinators may be connected to the factory Ethernet network, enabling communications with any PC or other node on the network. In addition, if an Internet gateway is available anyone with access to the network can communicate with individual controllers via the web.

Ethernet

Network-enabled Motion Coordinators run an industry standard TCP/IP protocol stack, including a web server. The stack supports a TCP socket which allows any suitable host to establish a remote connection to the controller. The socket enables users to open a 'Telnet' session providing easy access to the controller's command-line interface and freeing them from the limitations of an RS232 serial lead. Controllers can also

serve simple web pages with dynamically updated real-time information to anyone on a local area factory or office network (LAN) or across the Internet using a standard HTML web browser. These web pages provide read and write access to a number of variables and table data on the selected controller.

TMTrio’s Motion Coordinators take advantage of the Daughter Board concept.

Any one of the daughter boards can be plugged into a

TMMotion Coordinator for additional servo and machine control, or other communication functions. New Daughter Boards are continuously being added.

with TCP/IP

Ethernet Daughter Boards use the 10Base-T physical layer designed to connect to other stations with simple twisted pair copper wires and RJ-45 connectors. There is an industry standard RFC compliant TCP/IP stack and protocol support for HTTP server, TCP, UDP, ARP, ICMP and IP, providing fast, easy connection with wide ranging compatibility in modern network systems.

Using the Ethernet Daughter Board, you can program the MC206 or MC224 over a network.

TMMotion Perfect can be configured to look for a controller using the RS232, USB or Ethernet ports. This provides greater flexibility and speed when developing applications.

TM On networks connected to the world wide web, an ethernet-connected Trio Motion Coordinator can be accessed through the Internet. The Ethernet Daughter Board can serve a web page and display system variables and data. Using ‘Telnet’, the controller’s command prompt “>>” can be accessed. This allows remote diagnostics and program debugging from anywhere in the world.
