MC 600 SERIES D138-002-002 MACHINE CONTROLLER MOOG

SYSTEM OVERViEW The latest generation of Moog Machine Controllers (MC 600 Series) was developed based on 30 years of experience working with customers to solve tough machine challenges. They provide a flexible and modular solution for high-performance, industrial machinery and incorporate a new level of hardware and software design. Hardware Available modules include CPUs, bus transceivers, a range of digital and 16-bit resolution analog I/O modules, temperature and other sensor modules. Several fieldbus communication modules are in development. For greater flexibility Moog offers a range of Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) based on html5 technology. The controller runs on a multitasking, Linux-based, realtime operating system that offers short reaction times and high frequency execution of tasks. Fast sampling, 16-bit analog I/O resolution and 2 Mbit/s sensor acquisition provide the basis for highly accurate control and positioning. Software All modules are programmed to incorporate the powerful yet easy-to-use Moog Application Software Suite (MASS). It is based on the latest version of the proven Codesys development tool and complies with the IEC 61131-3 standard for programming languages. It features additional libraries, plug-ins and programming capabilities Characteristics Linux operating system for easy implementation of new features Advantages that are ideally suited to applications such as the control of injection molding and blow molding machines. Special software libraries are available for customer- specific solutions and a complete software library of easy- to-use application templates is available for simplified realization of user-specific control and sequence applications. Applications The modular design of the MC 600 Series ensures that it can be configured exactly to the specific application. The new quad core processor of the MC 600 Plus CPU allow to reach the highest performances in machine and motion control application. An important feature of the controller is its ability to operate in the extended temperature range -25 to +70 °C (-13 to +158 °F, non-condensing). This, together with the low power consumption technology and robust construction of the modules, makes the MC Series 600 ideal for use in demanding industrial environments such as plastic machinery. 

 The incorporation of integral functions such as temperature and parison profile control makes the MC 600 Series suitable for a wide variety of industrial applications including blow and injection molding, packaging, metal forming and presses

The MC 600 Series can increase the performance and the precision of other products in your system. Moog offers a wide range of products that are optimized to work together for the creation of complex and demanding applications in machine control. The diagram shows the range of Moog products that are typically used as parts of advanced control and actuation systems used in some of today’s most sophisticated machines. While this document features the primary products in the MC 600 Series system, technical information for all the other products are available in their respective catalogs. The MC 600 Series analog I/O and temperature modules convert process signals with 16 bit resolution. A 16 bit value can represent 65,536 (216) different numbers. The precision of a command signal, e.g. for a valve, can be improved with this high resolution sampling of analog MC 600 Series offers maximum flexibility to meet your control architecture requirements. A variety of structures can be configured – from small single rack applications to multi rack applications in one or more cabinets. Centralized and decentralized systems using multiple CPUs are supported to create complex control solutions. A process structure, e.g. for valves, pumps and servo motors, can be controlled from specific CPUs and I/Os. The machine can be operated with a HMI and a separate CPU as host for subsequent process clients. The high CPU performance and the fast sensor acquisition offer short cycle times. The delay in closed-loop control can be minimized.
