MOOG MSD Motion Controller

MOOG  MSD Motion Controller

The MSD Motion Controller is part of the Modular MultiAxis Programmable Motion Control Servo Drive (MSD)  System and is best used in combination with Moog Servo  Drives.

The MSD Motion Controller coordinates and synchronizes  axes, and communicates with host computers and other  PLCs via multiple fieldbus protocols. With its PLC  functionality, the MSD Motion Controller can control  processes of the machine.

It is designed for closed-loop control of velocity and  position for up to 30 axes.

The MSD Servo Drives are described in detail in the  Modular Multi-Axis Programmable Motion Control Servo  Drive catalog.

Moog Axis Control Software

All Moog Motion Controllers can be programmed using  Moog Axis Control Software (MACS), the standard  development environment based on CoDeSys.

The use of only one software development environment  simplifies the creation of applications with different  Motion Controllers. Libraries with special functions  dedicated to a variety of application requirements support  the program development.

Overview

The MSC I Motion Controller is a freely programmable  multi-axis controller suitable for electric and hydraulic  motion control. It provides fast and precise control for  position, speed and force and features an integrated PLC  functionality.

The Moog Axis Control Software (MACS) offers a modern  and powerful IEC 61131 development environment. The  hardware functionality can be parameterized via MACS.

The MSC I Motion Controller allows freely definable  controller structures with cycle times of 400 μs.
