Moog Machine Controller (MC Series 600)

In the new Moog Machine Controller (MC Series 600), Moog experts haveincorporated over

30 years experience in leading-edge technology into a flexibleand modular solution for high

performance industrial machinery. The hardware iscomplemented by the Moog Application

Software Suite, a powerful yet easy-to-use tool for developing application programs based

on CoDeSys, the proven IEC61131-3 compliant programming system.

The MC Series 600 product family includes CPU, 1/0 and communicationsmodules, as well as

local and PC-based HMI units. The multitasking Linux-basedreal-time operating system

guarantees fast reaction and reduced cycle times,providing efficiency and productivity

enhancements. Analog 16 bit I/0 resolutionoffers greater precision positioning and higher

accuracy.

Designed specifically to combine flexibility with ease of use, MC Series 600controllers are

simple to configure and modular in design. While the MC Series600 is suitable for a wide

variety of industrial applications, software templatesfor blow and injection molding and the

incorporation of integral functions suchas temperature and parison profile control, make it

an ideal choice for plasticsmolding applications.
