The new Motion-PLC is well suited to Mclennan’s motion system design and build service. Offered in three model configurations with feature-enabled codes, it provides a competitive solution for low- to medium-axis requirements. It supports applications ranging from simple point-to-point positioning systems to complex stand-alone machines with tightly synchronised multi-axis control.
MCS series servo controllers feature a slice interface that facilitates seamless integration
Trio’s MS I/O slice modules can also connect to an EtherCAT coupler for flexible integration. The DIN-rail front mounted system features spring clamp connectors with push-button removal that make wiring fast, facilitating quick and flexible machine set-up.
MCS series motion controllers are based on the ARM Cortex A55 processor with a 600MHz clock frequency and 64-bit position register precision for exceptional motion and machine synchronisation, and motion cycle times to 1 ms. The multitasking operating system includes a comprehensive motion library, offering capabilities such as electronic gearbox, axis to axis interpolation, mathematical functions and I/O interaction. Programming is efficiently accomplished using the TrioBASIC motion language or IEC61131 standards.
Setup and diagnostics are facilitated through Trio’s Motion Perfect software. The MCS-40 and -50 also supports Uniplay, Modbus TCP, PROFINET IO, and Ethernet/IP protocols. Software tools are available for cam profile generation, robotic kinematic transformations and CAD path conversion, further supporting minimum application development timescales.
Advanced motion control technology: packaging, labelling, laser machining, robotics, medical, scientific
This versatile motion control system ensures seamless integration with Trio’s DX series distributed servo drives covering power ranges from 50W to 7.5kW in a choice of three model variants. Complete standalone machine operation can also be realised with Trio’s UNIPLAY HMI 7” and 10” colour touch screen displays.
Mclennan distributes and manufactures advanced motion control technology, offering a comprehensive range of stepper and servomotor related components as well as custom design and build services for tailored motion sub-systems used in industrial and research applications that include, but are not restricted to, packaging, labelling, laser machining, robotics, medical equipment, scientific research and more.
