MOOG MC600 Series Machine Controller

The MC600 Series Machine Controller incorporates over fifty years of Moog

experience in providing leading edge technology and offers a flexible, modular

solution for use on high performance industrial machinery. The Controller’s

hardware is supported by the Moog Application Software Suite (MASS), a

powerful and easy to use tool for the development of application programs

based on Codesys, a proven programming system that is IEC 61131-3

compliant.

The MC600 series offers input and output (I/O) communication modules as

well as local and PC-based human machine interface (HMI), making it easy to

configure with all sizes of machinery. Its Linux based, multi-tasking and real

time operating system provides quick reaction and reduced cycle times that can

improve machine efficiency and increase productivity. The Controller’s 16-bit

analog I/O resolution provides greater levels of control precision, and higher

accuracy for various types of industrial application.

Moog has specifically designed the MC600 in a standardized environment

incorporating debugging, simulation, parametrization and tracing capabilities

that make programming and testing faster and simpler. Flexible and easy to

use, the Controller is suitable for a wide range of industrial machinery.

The latest MC600plus main CPU is equipped with greater computing power

and connectivity, includes a quad-core central processing unit, and is ready for

Industry 4.0 connectivity. It features OPC-Unified Architecture (OPC-UA) and

Euromap77/83  protocols, as well as a file transfer protocol (FTP) for sharing

data or recipes.

ADVANTAGES
