Remote access
Hello, I am using the MC508. Are there any ways to access it remotely? For example, using the external IP (public IP) and some port pointing to the Trio's IP? (Nat) What are the ways I can access remotely? Thank you.

DX4/MXL Feedback
In the documentation for the MXL motor series, both the absolute and incremental encoders have the same pinout. The only real difference I can see is the addition of the external battery for the absolute encoder. What do the S +/- and MA +/- mean? Do
4 axis interpolation acceleration deccelaration separately for each
Hello, i want control 4 axis same time(as interpolation) but i cant move acceleration and decceleration separately for each all axis my trio model "MC 405" im using software is " Motion Perfect 5,1" and triobasic code. my code is below , its some code,
Is there something like MSPEED/MPOS for Acceleration?
I have an application where I need my Trio (MC6N-ECAT P962) to output position, speed, and acceleration data of multiple axis to an external computer. The reason I need this is the external computer is reading, interpolating, and predicting the future

MC508 VR(64) Gets Zeroed
Larry Ahr 2 years ago I found that I cannot use VR(64) on an MC508. No matter what I write to it, it gets zeroed immediately, I assume by the controller. Has anyone else encountered this? I had a Maple Systems HMI5040B connected over Ethernet, but I wasn't using that VR so I don't think it was the cause. The machine has shipped so I'm just curious to know why this was happening. Gyz
MC508 FTP
Hello, I use a supervisory software (scada) that sends a Gcode txt file via FTP. Does the MC508 support FTP? I searched the site and didn't find any file explaining about it. I need to FTP the file to Trio memory, or SD Card. Or it could be making Trio
Limit and home switch inputs
Geoff Dixon 5 years ago We usually wire home and limit switches for axes direct to the inputs on the controller (0-7). Is it possible to wire home and limit switches to CAN I/O inputs, and are there any differences in performance? Answer: Yes you can wire Home and Limits to any input. ie the main processor box, the CAN I/O, EtherCAT IO etc. The ones on the processor are reacted to in 1 msec and those on the first 3 CAN I/O modules in 2 msec. Other inputs may take longer, though EtherCAT IO typically
MC508 Number of Modbus TCP connections
Hello, I use a supervisory software (scada) that communicates in Modbus TCP. I would like to know if the Trio MC508 accepts two Modbus TCP connections from the same device. One connection would be for read and one would be for writing. Thanks.

4-20ma convert to 0-10V
Hi, I'm using MC403 and P379, and want to convert 4-20ma 0-10V using a 500ohm resistance. But when sensor might output 23ma some times, and it'll end up a 11.5V, so will 11.5V destroy the 0-10V AIN input module?

RS_Limit / DPOS runs too far and beyond the limit
Hello, I have an axis (motor+spindle) and a MC4N controller. I want to limit the movement with Trio to protect the axis. The problem is, that RS_Limit in some cases do not work and the axis_DPOS is moving beyond the limit! PROGRAM #1 : GOOD ! --> the axis ends at DPOS=-30 although I have sent 35 moves. GOOD ! DEFPOS(0) FS_LIMIT=30 RS_LIMIT=-30 FOR i = 1 TO 35 MOVE (-1) WAIT IDLE AXIS(0) NEXT i PROGRAM #2 : BAD ! --> the axis stops at DPOS = -33
Using MOVE_COUNT
I need to know when the current move is an arc and if so what the radius is. I think I can do this with MOVE_COUNT but the I'm not sure the way buffers work from reading the Help. Is the following a possible way to track what move is executing? /pseudocode
