Features and Typical Applications
Trio
BASIC contains accurate motion control functions for the generation of complex
movements of various types, including:
• Linear interpolation of up to 24 axes
• Circular and helical interpolation
• Variable speed and acceleration profiles
• Electronic gearboxes
• Electronic cam profiles
The operator interface may be achieved by any combination of the following:
• Dedicated host computer (connected via USB or RS-232 serial port)
• Membrane Keypad with Vacuum Fluorescent Display
• Dedicated Operator Panel using the’Modbus’ serial protocol.
• Switches / Thumbwheels
• Status lamps
The system is able to control a wide range of mechanisms and equipment including:
• Brushless servo motors
• Stepper motors
• Brushed DC servo motors
•Hydraulic servo valves
• Hydraulic proportional valves
