The Trio MS I/O System is a compact, modular I/O expansion solution designed to extend machine control capabilities across industrial automation and motion control applications. Its flexible slice-based architecture allows machine builders to configure the digital and analogue I/O required for each machine while maintaining a compact control cabinet footprint.

Designed for integration with Trio Motion-PLC controllers, the MS I/O System communicates via the high-speed MS-Bus interface, providing deterministic I/O performance synchronised with Trio's Motion-iX control platform. Digital inputs, digital outputs, analogue inputs and analogue outputs can be combined to create an I/O configuration matched to individual machine requirements.

Individual MS I/O slices are just 12 mm wide and feature a compact DIN-rail mounted design with front insertion and removal. Spring clamp connectors provide convenient tool-free wiring, helping simplify installation, maintenance and future machine expansion.

For distributed machine architectures, the MS EC EtherCAT coupler enables remote I/O to be positioned closer to sensors and machine devices. Up to 16 I/O slices can be connected to a single coupler, while multiple couplers can be incorporated across a machine. Update rates from 125 μs to 4 ms support high-performance machine and motion control applications.

The MS I/O System can be used with Trio Motion-PLC controllers, Trio EtherCAT controllers and third-party EtherCAT masters, providing flexibility for both centralised and distributed automation architectures.

Typical applications include packaging and labelling machinery, material handling systems, automated assembly equipment, printing and converting machinery, food and beverage processing equipment and other industrial automation systems requiring scalable I/O expansion.

Micromech supplies the Trio MS I/O System as part of its range of motion controllers, servo drives and complete machine automation solutions for UK OEMs and machine builders.
