■ MCA6 Medium Motion PLC

MCA series is a new generation of medium-sized PLC launched by MOONS’, using an open industrial application network based on Ethernet, supporting EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, OPC UA, Modbus TCP, TCP/IP and other global standard communication protocols can realize the seamless connection between the machine control and factory automation. It is designed and developed in full compliance with the PLC open specification and IEC-61131-3 standard, supporting LD, ST, FBD, SFC, CFC and other programming languages, programming development platform covers basic logic applications, discrete stand-alone applications to multi-axis complex applications. With its small CPU size, flexible module combination and microsecond bus cycle, it can be adapted to more application scenarios.
MCA6 series is mainly used in lithium battery, photovoltaic, 3C, food and beverage, packaging, printing, silicon, medical and other mechanical automation equipment and combined production lines to meet the needs of users for production efficiency and control accuracy improvement.

■ Multi-network Integration and Interconnection

MCA6 is equipped with 3-RJ45 interfaces and 1-485 interface, supporting a variety of communication protocols, including EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, UDP, OPC UA, TCP/IP, etc. EtherNet/IP, CANopen, Modbus RTU, etc. support dual IP settings, realize the isolation of equipment between LAN and Internet, and help the digital transformation and upgrading of factories.
EtherNet: No need to convert multiple protocols, host computer / HMI can directly access PLC variable names through tag communication.
The PLCs can also directly access variables for data exchange via tag communication.
EtherCAT: Quick diagnosis for slave communication anomalies

■ Easy Installation and Easy Commissioning

■ Efficient, Open, and Free Programming

McEngine Pro is a standardized programming platform for equipment automation control based on the CODESYS platform launched by MOONS’, which integrates functions such as PLC programming, visual HMI, fieldbus and motion control. The platform provides a complete configuration, programming, commissioning, and monitoring environment that can handle the powerful IEC language with flexibility and freedom. Its creation gives you full control over your automation system, and the graph-oriented configuration allows for quick setup of controllers, field devices, and networks.

■ Outstanding Motion Control

• Bus with Shaft
Up to 64 EtherCAT bus axis, Synchronization cycle 40 axes 2ms.
• Multi-axis Interpolation
linear, circular and spiral interpolation.
 
• Electronic CAM
Instead of heavy mechanical CAM, with higher processing accuracy and flexibility, can improve production efficiency, can be used in packaging and printing machine.
• Probe Function
MCA6 supports 8 high-speed inputs (4 encoders) and 8 high-speed outputs (4 pulses) to realize the probe latching function, which is mainly used in packaging, food and beverage, 3C electronics and other applications.
 

■ Typical Applications

■ Flexible Scalability

• 2 Expansion Card Slots
Includes 2 expansion card slots,Support communication / analog / digital, etc., accurately adapt to specific scenarios, avoid excess resources, and save cabinet space
• 32 Expansion Modules
Supports 32 expansion modules, via local 100M, The high-speed backplane bus can expand the function modules such as digital, analog, temperature, pressure, high-speed counting, pulse output, Flying camera and communication.
