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.
5-WAY
CONNECTOR
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 fitted 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.

CONVERTER
An internal solid-state relay is used to enable external amplifiers
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.

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 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.
