2-36 Hardware Overview
Motion Coordinator MC216
Trio Motion Technology
Serial Connector A:
Serial Connector B:
There is no hardware handshake on the serial ports. An XON\XOFF protocol is
used.
Network Interconnection
The optional Fibre-Optic Network connection is designed for communication
between the master modules and membrane keypads on large machines, or small
workgroups of machines.
The software for the network supports interconnection of up to 15 nodes in a
token-ring network format. The nodes may consist of any combination of com-
patible master controllers and Trio Membrane Keypads.
Note:
Any membrane keypads connected must have software version 2.01 or higher.
