Category: MOOG

Moog’s line of actuation control solutions are designed to be used in

multiple aerospace and harsh environments.

The commercial actuation controllers fall into our Reconfigurable

Actuation Control Unit (RACU) product family. This family is capable

of covering a wide range of performance characteristics with varying

design parameters. This new product line is derived and based on

existing and qualified Moog heritage solutions that is specifically

focused on lower cost, faster lead times, and a reconfigurable nature.

The modularity and available of the controllers lends itself to both

rapid design iteration and solution evolution.

Key Features:

• Six Step and Field Oriented Control capable

• User configurable gains and filters allows for adjustment of system

behavior in application

• Configurable directly from MATLAB

• Qualified for launch vehicle environments

• Proven flight heritage

The Moog 2-channel Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is comprised of 2 Moog

hybrid stepper motor controllers, an EMI filter, and 6 analog pass-throughs

for telemetry. The ECU enclosure has been designed to allow 2 ECU’s to

be stacked to form a 4-channel ECU. The 2-channel ECU contains all power

conditioning, pulse sequencing and output driver stages necessary to drive

two 3-phase motors. The system electrical interface consists of power and

command input lines, output motor drive lines and telemetry outputs.

The required input commands are discrete for ENABLE and DIRECTION,

and a pulse train on the STEP input. An initial discrete logic state on the

ENABLE line will activate the control unit for the desired motor.

On the DIRECTION line, one logic state enables clockwise rotation, and the

other state enables counterclockwise rotation. Motion is initiated by the

application of a pulse train on the STEP command line.

Key Features:

• Based on Moog hybrid stepper motor controllers

• The ECU contains all power conditioning, pulse sequencing and output

driver stages necessary to drive two 3-phase motors.

• Input commands are discrete for ENABLE and DIRECTION, and a pulse

train on the STEP input.

• Small volume

• Low weight

• Provides Rad Hard operation

The Moog Broad Reach Gimbal Control Electronics (GCE) system controls and

drives two types of dual axis redundant actuators. The system contains two

primary and two redundant motor drive outputs. These motor drive outputs

control and drive small, three phase Wye, six state, and permanent-magnet

actuators. The GCE contains two primary and redundant incremental encoder

interface circuits. The GCE communicates with the spacecraft via a dual redundant

MIL-STD-1553B bus. The spacecraft provides the 31VDC nominal voltage and

the side enable pulsed discretes. The GCE assembly consists of two identical

Controllers circuit boards, two identical Motor Driver circuit boards, two identical

DC to DC converters boards, two Backplane boards and the chassis.

The GCE implements programmable micro-stepping to reduce jitter in increments

of 1.2.4.8.16.32 or 64 micro steps/cardinal-steps. Current in all phases driven as a

sinusoid for smooth movement. Optical encoder feedback is provided but not

required to command motor movements. Positional feedback, detection of skipped

steps, and state of health (SOH) current for each motor along with 8 variable

power settings per motor are implemented.

The high-reliability Gimbal Control Electronics System controls the motion of two

or more motors, such as used in solar array actuators and antenna gimbals.

Overview

MC 600 Plus is the new MC 600 CPU Series based on a

quadcore SOC technology.

Each MC 600 Series application needs exactly one main

CPU module. It is not possible to use more than one main

CPU module in an application.

The main CPU module controls all other modules of the

application. The two main CPU modules have the same

functionality, including battery backup, wake-up function

and a license key connector for advanced algorithms.

The main CPU 6033 module comes with an additional

EtherCAT device connectivity.

The main CPU 6034 module comes with an additional

ProfiNET device connectivity.

Power Supply

Each of these modules has its own internal power supply

unit (PSU) that requires a nominal +24 VDC

input to produce

the logic voltages necessary for the other modules.

The external +24 VDC

power supply for the modules must

be combined with either a CPU module or a bus transceiver

module.

All modules monitor voltage, current, and temperature

or any other data from the power supply. The main CPU

modules have a wake-up function to start-up the power

supply. The power available from the modules limits the

number of modules to be used in an application.

Additional Information

For decentralized applications, additionally bus

transceiver modules are available, see section ““Bus

Transceiver Modules”.

I/O and temperature modules are connected to each of the

CPU modules via local bus, see sections ““I/O Modules” and

“Temperature Modules”.

For possible combinations of modules and application

samples, see section “Concepts”.
