Projects

One of the keys to using Motion Perfect v5 is its concept of a “Project”. The project aids the application design and development process, by providing a disk based copy of the multiple controller programs, parameters and data required for a single motion application.

Once the user has defined a project, Motion Perfect v5 works behind the scenes automatically maintaining consistency between the programs on the controller and the files on the PC.
When creating or editing programs on the controller they are automatically duplicated on the PC which means you do not have to worry about loading or saving programs and you can be confident that next time you connect to a controller you will have the correct information on your PC.  Motion Perfect v5 keeps multiple backup copies of the project in a sub folder, thus allowing the programmer to revert to any previous version.

Project Manager

The multi-tasking capability of Motion Coordinators means there will often be a number of different program files associated with an application. In order to keep track of these multiple files and their associated data a major component of the Motion Perfect v5 environment is the project manager.

• Load and Save multiple programs as a single named project
• Simultaneous saving of program files to both the PC and the Motion Coordinator
• Verify contents of controller match the project file on disk
• Load and Save controller variables and table memory to disk
• Automatically generate controller “Startup” configuration files
• Include Motion-ix, HMI and IEC 61131-3 programs in the same project
• Spreadsheet style interface to monitor and set axis parameters
• Automatically updates real time parameters
• Support for all axis types (including virtual axes)
• Changes can be made while programs are running
• Enhanced user configured axis display

Motion-ix Program Editor

• Simultaneously edits the controller program and a copy on disk - programs do not need to be downloaded after editing
• Windows style editor with Cut, Copy & Paste - uses the Windows clipboard so information may be pasted between programs
• Edit multiple programs simultaneously
• Find & Replace
• Jump directly to any line number or program label
• View programs while they are running
• Bookmark lines for easy access
• Offline editing with NEW advanced MC400 simulator

IEC 61131-3 Program Editor

• Offline editor allows program creation away from the target Motion Coordinator
• Function Block, Structured Text, Ladder and Sequential Function Chart methods.  (IL not supported)
• Edit multiple programs simultaneously
• Find & Replace
• View debug information while running
• Libraries for Motion Coordinator specific functions
• Run IEC and Motion-ix programs at the same time

CamGen

Define and generate cam tables using this interactive graphical cam designer. Commonly used cam shapes are pre-built into the CAM library software.

The required dimensions and offsets can be entered and the resulting cam shape is immediately shown as graphs of position, speed and acceleration. Data can be output as a cam table formula or as FLEXLINK parameters.

Alternatively, cam shapes can be built up using the interactive "Piecewise Curve" feature. Enter your XY points and see the resulting cam shapes. Points can be adjusted by dragging points on the graph, giving a truely interactive experience and saving time compared to using trial and error techniques.

The resulting cam tables are ready to be copied and pasted into your programs and used with CAM and CAMBOX functions.

Benefits

• Easy specification of motion profiles commonly used in machinery
• Outputs files as Motion-ix programs or TABLE points
• Graphical display of motion position/speed/acceleration curves
• Build piecewise curves with straight, polynomial and spline sections
• Generates example CAM/CAMBOX move statements
• Import sets of points from Excel
• Will handle multiple sector CAM shapes

MC400 Simulator

The MC400 Simulator is a Microsoft Windows™ based application for the PC, designed to be used in conjunction with Trio Motion Technology´s Motion Perfect v5 development software. It provides a software simulation of Trio Motion Technology´s MC4 range of multi-tasking Motion Coordinators without the need to buy hardware.

Key Sensitive Help Files

Motion Perfect v5 comes with complete help files for Motion-ix and the IEC programming libraries. Using the search function, or jumping to a help topic via the context sensitive help in the editor, the programmer has access to all the information from Trio´s technical programming manuals. The help files are also rich in programming examples for many motion applications.

UNIPLAY HMI Editor

• Programming support for Trio´s Uniplay HMI system
• Graphical editor – what you see is what you get
• HMI program is part of the MPv4 project
• No need for external 3rd party HMI programming tools
• Supports 7 inch (18 cm) and 10 inch (25 cm) displays
