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.
