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.

aSSembling the SyStem

One station consists of a P600 Flex-6 Nano and up to 16 Flexslice EtherCAT modules.

1. Align a Flexslice Module against the right hand side of the P600 Module.

2. Slide back the “click-to-lock” mechanism into position.

Removal of Flexslices is the opposite of this procedure.

The complete assembly can be DIN rail mounted.

flex-6 nano (P600)

The P600 Flex-6 Nano is a high specication

programmable Motion Coordinator in a compact
format for DIN rail mounting. It is expandable
though the matching Flexslice range of Input, Output
and Axis modules which can be easily added by
clipping to the side of the Flex-6 Nano. In addition,
there is one EtherCAT port (RJ45) for connection of
EtherCAT slave devices including servo and stepper
drives, I/O and other functionality that conforms to
the EtherCAT standard.

A micro SD card slot is provided for memory
expansion, software updates and application use.
Programming and system commissioning is done by
connecting a PC running Motion Perfect v4 to the
upper Ethernet socket.

A standard Ethernet connector is provided for use as the primary
programming interface.

The Trio programming software, Motion Perfect 4.3 or higher, must

be installed on a Windows based PC that is tted with an Ethernet

connection.

The Standard Ethernet connection may also be used for Ethernet-IP,
Modbus and other factory communications.

etherCat Port

The Flex-6 Nano acts as an EtherCAT master. EtherCAT drives and I/O
devices are normally connected in a chain.

Ethernet standard pin assignment:

1 TD+ Transmission data +

2 TD- Transmission data -

3 RD+ Receive data +

6 RD- Receive data -

Straight through (patch) or cross-over cables can be used between EtherCAT devices.
Minimum CAT 5 shielded SF/UTPcable is recommended.

“Adapter Settings”. Select the
properties of the Local Area Network
and the IPv4 properties. The IP

Address is set to 192.168.0.100 with

subnet mask set to 255.255.255.0.
Assuming that the Flex-6 Nano has

IP_ADDRESS=192.168.0.250 or similar.

Locate the reset button on the top of the module between the ventilation slots. Hold
down the button using a small screwdrive or similar, while at the same time powering

up the Flex-6 Nano. The IP Address will be set to 192.168.0.250.

exPanDing the flexSliCe SyStem

The Flexslice system makes available a selection of digital and analogue I/O terminals
as well as motion modules with pulse + direction outputs designed for precise
positioning of stepper and servo motors via suitable drive technology. The digital
I/O modules have high-speed functionality and can sample each EtherCAT cycle, or
use distributed clocks for greater accuracy. In addition, analogue modules and axis

modules may be tted to make a superbly tailored system that can be placed remotely

from the master if needed.

All Flexslice modules support automatic addressing with the master able to

automatically detect and congure the modules on startup. The Flex-6 Nano supports

up to 16 input/output modules which have a positive mechanical lock and bus
connector, making a reliable “back-bone” style connection (EBUS). The complete
assembly can be DIN rail mounted.
