Motion Coordinator Technical Reference Manual
Daughter Boards 4-3
Description
The axis daughter boards give the Motion Coordinator system enormous flexibil-
ity in its configuration.
The number of daughter boards which may be fitted is dependant on the control-
ler type.
The MC216 and MC224 master units can hold up to 4 daughter boards in any com-
bination. Up to 12 further daughter boards can be connected using optional Axis
Expander units (4 daughter boards per unit). Communication Daughter Boards
P290, P291, P292, P295, P296 and P297 can only be fitted in the master unit.
The Euro 205 has a single daughter board slot which can be used to provide a fifth
axis in addition to the four axes (maximum) on board.
The MC206 can use a single daughter board to provide a sixth axis in addition to
the five axes (maximum) which are available on the standard controller.
The Motion Coordinator recognises the type of axis daughter board or communi-
cations daughter board fitted in each slot. For example, a slot with a stepper
daughter board fitted will return its
