Designed specifically to combine flexibility with ease of use, MC Series 600 controllers

are simple to configure and modular in design.

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.

APPLICATIONS

• Plastics machinery

• Packaging

• Metal Forming

• Presses

• Testing

• Machine Tools

Mechanical feedback (mfb) valve input:

The G123-825 interfaces between the current output of a servo amplifier, on one

side, and a Moog valve on the other. This enables old mfb valves to be replaced by

modern electrical feedback (efb) valves, without changing the servo amplifier.

The buffer amplifier takes the existing servo amplifier output and converts it

to an efb compatible signal.

Input filter:

The G123-825 has a filter to remove noise from the input signal. The filter time

constant is switch selectable. The switch selections sum, so a large variety of time

constants is available.

Outputs:

• The output signals are switch selectable. They are:

4 to 20 mA fixed. Suitable for efb valves

• 0 to ±10 V fixed. Suitable for efb valves

• 0 to ±5 to ±100 mA switch selectable. Suitable for mfb valves.

Suitable for efb valves when set to ±10 mA

The output current selector switches can have more than one selected,

so the selected values sum. For example, selecting 30 and 50 mA together

gives a full scale output of ±80 mA.

The buffer amplifier is housed in a compact DIN rail housing and requires

a 24 VDC supply. Front panel test points and valve drive LEDs facilitate

commissioning and trouble shooting.

ADVANTAGES

• Switch selectable input signals

• Switch selectable outputs signals to suit most Moog valves

• Switch selectable input filter

• Vv and Iv LED valve drive indicators

• Valve drive signal test point

• Compact DIN rail mounting

• 24 VDC supply

• CE marked

The G123-825 Buffer Amplifier is intended to interface between the output of

standard signal sources, such as a PLC or servo amplifier, and a Moog servo

proportional valve. It accepts three types of signal input and can output most

of the Moog servoproportional valve signals. It has a single pole active filter

to remove noise from the input signal.

PLC ±10 V and 4-20 mA inputs:

The G123-825 interfaces between standard PLC analog output signals of ±10 V

and 4-20 mA on the input side and the Moog valve on the output side. This solves

the compatibility problem between these signals and the valve requirement.

Mechanical feedback (mfb) valve input:

The G123-825 interfaces between the current output of a servo amplifier, on one

side, and a Moog valve on the other. This enables old mfb valves to be replaced by

modern electrical feedback (efb) valves, without changing the servo amplifier.

The buffer amplifier takes the existing servo amplifier output and converts it

to an efb compatible signal.

Input filter:

The G123-825 has a filter to remove noise from the input signal. The filter time

constant is switch selectable. The switch selections sum, so a large variety of time

constants is available.

Electromagnetic compatibility

The G123-814 emits emissions well below the levels required for CE marking testing.

However, the cable connecting the valve coil should be shielded to ensure that no interfering radiation is

emitted.

Connect both ends of the shielded cable to chassis earth. Use terminals 10 and 14 on G123-814.

Immunity to external interference radiation depends on careful wiring techniques.

The recognised method is to use shielded cables for all connections, the

The accepted method is to use shielded cable for all connections and to radially terminate

the cable shield with a suitable grounded cable gland where it enters the industrial steel enclosure.

If this is not possible, chassis ground screw terminals are available on the G123-814.

The length of bare wire should be minimised. Connect the shield at each end of the cable to chassis

ground.

Allow sufficient length of cable

so that the wires remain connected when the circuit card is removed from the housing. 

This allows the circuitry to be checked while the circuit card is still connected and operational.

For cables connected to the outside of the housing as well as for

cables connected to the adjacent DIN rail unit, an additional 100 mm is sufficient.

The cable to the valve coil carries 1 Amp and should be sized accordingly.

Cables with a conductor size of 0.2 mm2 are normally rated at 1 Amp and are suitable for cable lengths

up to 5 metres.
