 SAFETY WARNING
During the installation or use of control systems, users of Trio products must ensure that there is no possibility of injury to any
person or damage to machinery.
Control systems, especially during installation, can malfunction or behave unexpectedly. Bearing this in mind, users must
ensure that even in the event of a malfunction or unexpected behaviour, the safety of an operator or programmer is never
compromised.
5-WAY CONNECTOR
This is a 5 way 3.5mm pitch connector. The connector is used both to provide the 24 Volt power to
the MC508 and provide 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 fully isolated.
 THE 24V (V+) AND 0V (V-) MUST BE CONNECTED AS THEY POWER THE MC508. THE MC508 IS
GROUNDED VIA THE METAL CHASSIS. FIT A SHORT SHIELD CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CHASSIS
EARTH SCREW AND THE EARTHED METAL MOUNTING PANEL / PLATE. THE CAN CONNECTIONS
ARE OPTIONAL.
See the Technical Reference Manual for important power connection EMC information.
ETHERNET CONNECTOR (RJ45)
A standard Ethernet connector is provided for use as the primary programming interface.
The Trio programming software, Motion Perfect, must be installed on a Windows based PC that is tted with
an Ethernet connection. The IP address is displayed on the MC508 display for a few seconds after power-up or
when an Ethernet cable is plugged in.
 Ethernet cable must be CAT 5 or better.

I/O CONNECTOR 4 (WDOG / OUTPUTS / ANALOGUE INTPUTS)
24V must be applied to power the outputs, analogue inputs and
DAC outputs on the axis connector.
AMPLIFIER ENABLE (WATCHDOG) RELAY OUTPUT
An internal solid-state relay is used to enable external ampliers
when the controller has powered up correctly and the system and
application software are ready. The enable relay contact will be open
circuit if there is no power on the controller OR the user program
sets it open with the WDOG=OFF command. Each axis also has an
independent enable relay which operates in tandem with the main
relay as determined by the application program. See MC4 range
technical manuals for details.
 ALL STEPPER AND SERVO AMPLIFIERS MUST BE INHIBITED
WHEN THE AMPLIFIER ENABLE OUTPUT IS OPEN CIRCUIT.
ANALOGUE INPUTS
Ain0: 0 to 10V
AIN1: 0 TO 10V

Output: +/-10V at 5mA
Output impedance: 100 Ohms.

LCD DISPLAY
The IP address and subnet mask of the MC508 is shown on the LCD display for a few seconds after power-up. The factory default
IP address is 192.168.0.250. This can be changed using the ETHERNET or the IP _ ADDRESS command via Motion Perfect.

 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 MUSTbe connected to all peripheral devices. In addition, bond
together the 0V (24V return) terminals of all system components so as to minimise current owing in the serial
cables.

CHASSIS MOUNTING DIMENSIONS (LOOKING FROM FRONT)
M4 screws should be used in 3 places to mount the MC508 to an unpainted metal panel.
The best EMC performance is obtained when the MC508 is attached from the shield screw (marked) using a at braided
conductor with a cross section of 4mm x 1mm. Do NOT use a circular section wire or run the braid to a central star point.
