This is a 5 way 3.5mm pitch connector. The
connector is used both to provide the 24 Volt
power to the MC405 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 internally isolated from the
I/O 24 Volts and the +/-10V voltage outputs.
The 24V (V+) and 0V (V-) MUST be connected
as they power the MC405. The MC405 is
grounded via the metal chassis. A screw is
provided on the chassis at the rear to allow
an earth strap connection if needed. It MUST
be installed on an unpainted metal plate or
DIN rail which is connected to earth. The CAN
connections are optional.

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 fi tted with
an Ethernet connection. The IP address is displayed on
the MC405 display for a few seconds after power-up or
when an Ethernet cable is plugged in.
Ethernet cable must be CAT 5 or better.

An internal relay is used to enable external amplifi ers when the
controller has powered up correctly and the system and application
software are ready. The amplifi er enable is a single pole solid state
relay with a normally open “contact”. The enable relay contact will
be open circuit if there is no power on the controller OR a following
error exists on a servo axis OR the user program sets it open with
the WDOG=OFF command.

Ensure that:
1. The shield screw is grounded
as close to the MC405 as
possible.
2. 0V, V- and E- connections are
NOT used for terminating
screens.
3. Pin 5 of Encoder/Stepper
plug is connected to 0V on
drive.
4. Encoder cable screen is
clamped to 9 way D shell.
5. The MC405 24V supply has
common 0V with the drive(s).
When wiring MC405 Stepper
outputs to a differential input
stepper drive, use the 0V and
shield connections shown for
the encoder. The stepper
drive must have its common
0V connected to the MC405
24V return. (24V -)

The IP address and subnet mask of the MC405 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 IP_ADDRESS commands 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 fl owing in the serial cables.
