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”.

In the new Moog Machine Controller (MC Series 600), Moog experts haveincorporated over

30 years experience in leading-edge technology into a flexibleand modular solution for high

performance industrial machinery. The hardware iscomplemented by the Moog Application

Software Suite, a powerful yet easy-to-use tool for developing application programs based

on CoDeSys, the proven IEC61131-3 compliant programming system.

The MC Series 600 product family includes CPU, 1/0 and communicationsmodules, as well as

local and PC-based HMI units. The multitasking Linux-basedreal-time operating system

guarantees fast reaction and reduced cycle times,providing efficiency and productivity

enhancements. Analog 16 bit I/0 resolutionoffers greater precision positioning and higher

accuracy.

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

simple to configure and modular in design. While the MC Series600 is suitable for a wide

variety of industrial applications, software templatesfor blow and injection molding and the

incorporation of integral functions suchas temperature and parison profile control, make it

an ideal choice for plasticsmolding applications.
