V-
MC 403 connections for I/O expansion via Trio’s CAN
I/O expanders. A 24V dc, Class 2 transformer or
power source must be provided as this powers
the unit.

This 24 Volt input is internally isolated from the

I/O 24 Volts and the +/-10V voltage outputs.

MC 403
The 24V (V+) and 0V (V-) MUST be connected
as they power the MC403(-Z). The MC403(-Z)
is grounded via the metal chassis. A screw is
provided on the chassis at the rear to allow
an earth strap connection if needed. It MUST
be installed on an unpainted metal plate or
DIN rail which is connected to earth. The CAN
connections are optional.

RJ45 A standard Ethernet connector is provided for use as

CONNECTOR the primary programming interface.
The Trio programming software, Motion Perfect, must
MC 403 be installed on a Windows based PC that is fitted with
an Ethernet connection.

Ethernet cable must be CAT 5 or better.

AMPLIFIER An internal relay is used to enable external amplifiers when the
ENABLE controller has powered up correctly and the system and application
(WATCHDOG) software are ready. The amplifier enable is a single pole solid state
RELAY OUTPUT relay with a normally open “contact”. The enable relay contact will
be open circuit if there is no power on the controller OR a following
MC 403
error exists on a servo axis OR the user program sets it open with
the WDOG=OFF command.

ALL STEPPER AND SERVO AMPLIFIERS MUST BE INHIBITED WHEN

IP ADDRESS The factory default IP address is 192.168.0.250. This can be changed

RESET using the ETHERNET or IP_ADDRESS commands via Motion Perfect.
To return to the factory IP address, hold the IP address reset switch
MC 403
in while powering up.

Good quality screened cables should be used for the serial ports. The serial ports and
CANbus port are not galvanically isolated, therefore the 0V return MUST be connected to all
peripheral devices. In addition, bond together the 0V (24V return) terminals of all system
components so as to minimise current flowing in the serial cables.
