The Ethernet daughter board provides a high speed link between the Motion Coordinator and a host PC via a factory or office local area network (LAN).
 An industry standard Telnet terminal can be used to access the Motion Coordinator’s command line over Ethernet.

 

The daughter board can run the Modbus TCP protocol as a slave, Thus allowing a Modbus master to read and write integer or floating point values to the global VRs and to access the I/O.

 

 Support for Ethernet is included in Trio's Motion Perfect 2 application and an ActiveX (OCX) software library is available which allows developers to include direct access to the Motion Coordinator within their own programs.

 

Active X controls are supported by the majority of PC development platforms, including Visual Basic, Delphi, Visual C++, C++ Builder etc.
