TrioPcMotion DLL without ActiveX wrapper
Trio's development strategy is to replace the TrioPC Motion ActiveX with an API. As an intermediate step a DLL has been produced that has all the ActiveX functions without the ActiveX wrapper. This should be available for download on the Trio Website
P368 RTD FlexSlice Firmware User Guide
Hello, I found this file for the P367 Thermocouple FlexSlice Firmware User Guide. Is it possible to get the same file for the P368 RTD FlexSlice. Thanks in advance, Jonathan Bekerman
Motor Speed Detection
When control the moving of driver, the MPOS and DPOS can get the position, but the variable MSPEED and DEMAND_SPEED can't get values. Is there anything should be set before use the MSPEED/DEMAND_SPEED?
DX4 Firmware
Hi, Seems that there is a new FW (105B4) for DX4. Is there any release note ? Which improvement ? Thanks a lot.

CAN Instruction Return Value
I've picked up project with the following line of code: IF (CAN(-1,8,tsdo,rsdo,$2010,2,520) = -1) THEN Occasionally, for some Axes, the instruction is NOT evaluated as -1. Trying to find out what is returned exactly. If this is some kind of read status,
displaying mm/min on hmi from encoder.
Hi I have a simple encoder tracking the linear travel of an axis on on MC405. I am tracking linear position with the encoder. All works fine. I wanted to also display velocity mm/min while the axis is moving. I cant seem to get my head around the calculation

EtherCAT change Mode of Operation in Drive
The standard PDOs used on Trio EtherCAT masters are single mode. ie either Position (CSP), Speed (CSP) or Torque (CST). Did you know that many drives support the Mode of Operation CoE Object in the Rx PDO? If the drive supports it, then a multi-mode PDO
MP4 - Flash indicator keeps blinking
I've noticed that the Flash indicator in the Controller Tree window of MP4 (v4.3.3 build 17523) keeps blinking when i am connected to the MC. I do not have any commands in the program tasks that are explicitly reading/writing to flash. The system consists of a Flex-6 Nano with two ethercat drives attached. Is this typical of that indicator or something in the ethercat drive config?

Panasonic A6 Multi
Trying to set up an ethercat network between a MC6N-ECAT, flexslice I/O and panasonic A6 multi with 1x MBDM1ABKBX and 3x MADM2A6KBX. The system fully recognises the flexslice and the 3 MADM2A6KBXs but only recognises the MBDM1ABKBX as a Panasonic motor
Servo seems to ignore FS and RS limit when set at high speed
I have been working on a program that, when finished, will need to use a relatively high speed. I have been testing my program at slow speed, but now that I am nearly complete and using a high speed, the servo is surpassing its limits and grinding against
Way to set EtherCAT device addresses sequentially?
Hi - I have 20 EtherCAT capable turbos that I'm connecting to a Flex-6 Nano. I can pick all of them up, but address assignment by the Flex-6 appears to be somewhat random. As an example, device 19 shows up as device 16 so my feedback is there but we found
