CONNECTOR
A standard Ethernet connector is provided for use as
the primary programming interface.
The Trio programming software, Motion Perfect v3,
must be installed on a Windows based PC that is
fi tted with an Ethernet connection. The IP address is
displayed on the MC4N display for a few seconds after
power-up or when an Ethernet cable is plugged in.
Ethernet cable must be CAT 5 or better.
The Standard Ethernet connection may also be used for
Ethernet-IP, Modbus and other factory communications.
See back page for set-up details.

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 MC4N 24V supply has common 0V with
the drive(s).
2. 0V connection is NOT used for terminating
0V
When wiring MC4N Stepper output 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 MC4N.
