General

The Moog Axis Application Software Suite (MASS) offers a state of-the-art development environment for implementing demanding motion control functions using the IEC 61131 standard for development.

MASS includes tools for:

• Programming

• Testing and optimizing

• Debugging Documentation

• Visualization

• Configuration

Interfaces

• Ethernet (TCP/IP and UDP/IP)

• EtherCAT

• CAN/CANopen

• PROFIBUS-DP

Features

Extensive libraries with Moog function blocks, based on www.cniacs.com 50 years of experience in electric and hydraulic motion control.

• Freely programmable controller structures

• Maximum flexibility by offering a complete scope of functions in all IEC 61131 programming languages

• Simultaneous realization of control, regulation and PLC applications in one application program

• Open standard interfaces for communication with machine and process levels

Benefits

• Quick project realization

• Low programming efforts

• One tool for programming, visualizing and documentation

MASS Functionality

MASS is based on CODESYS 3 which is the standard for IEC 61131 programming. It has been enhanced by Moog by adding motion control functionality. In this way, even complex automation projects can be simplified. MASS includes the following functionality: 

Motion control technology

 • Controller: I, D, PID standard/extended

 • Filter: High-pass, low-pass, notch

 • Non-linear functions: Dead band, nonlinear, dual-gain, look-up table

 • Simulation of the process: PT1, PT2

 • Function generator

 • Signal delay

 • Counter

 • Timer

 • Transfer functions: Continuous, time discrete

Hardware

 Moog Motion Controller

 • Signal conditioning for analog inputs/outputs and position sensors

 • Diagnostics wire fault, power fault etc.

 • Time evaluation

 • Watchdog
