■ 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.
