MachineWorks Software
MachineWorks-O/S and MachineWorks-Server come with each Moog BX controller and provides the user with an on-line development environment and machine database. This enables users to start application development without the need to procure costly control software.
For those that desire more complex and flexible application development environments, Moog offers MachineWorks-Studio. Studio offers users the added benefits of off-line, remote development, a multi-developer platform which allows multiple developers to work simultaneously on the same projects, among other project management tools.
Integrated Tool Operations
MachineWorks integrates common features including axis control, I/O control, tool diagnostics, Autotuning, homing, error handling, networking, programmable limit switches, cam profiles, PID loops, SECS/GEM communication, and more. MachineWorks' onboard machine database allows for easy configuration of any of these features without writing a single line of software.
Diagnostics and Error Handling
Where error handling is traditionally an afterthought, MachineWorks includes a comprehensive built-in error recovery system. With error handling, predictive maintenance features, and complete diagnostics, MachineWorks helps you design a machine with maximum reliability and adaptability.
Operation Programming
MachineWorks built-in multitasking engine is specifically designed to organize your machine code into modular components. Those components can be developed independently then executed simultaneously to maximize the throughput of your machine.
Open Architecture
MachineWorks and other machine state information data is easily shared with any other device on your network through our OpenLink™ for Windows package. Built as ActiveX objects, OpenLink allows easy connection to Windows NT-based applications and devices.
Operator Interface Control
Flat panel touch screens, whether stand-alone or Windows NT-based, give the developer and operator access to all appropriate machine functions. MachineWorks includes 98%+ of the GUI screens you need to operate your tool.
Ratio Control
Allows position-locked electronic gearing to be established between two or more servo axes. Phase shifting and precision fractional ratios provided.
Dual Loop Control
Allows an axis to be controlled with two feedback sources: the motor and the load.
TruTrak™ Servo Loop
Provides smooth accelerations and superior motion tracking with acceleration feed forward and viscous and static friction compensation.
Cam Profiling
Electronic replacement for mechanical cams using 100% position phase-locked control - an industry exclusive.
Programmable Limit Switch
Eliminates the cost of additional hardware by using motor feedback to actuate machine functions at specific physical positions.
Flying Position Measurement
Position capture accuracy of ±1 count, regardless of velocity.
MachineNet™
Based on the commercially proven Ethernet standard, this inter-machine controller network connects up to eight MachineWorks controllers, supporting network bandwidths up to 100 MBit/sec.
MachineWorks OPC Server
Provides an industry open-standard for movement of data between devices. The OPC Server allows critical state information, axis information, I/O data and more to be communicated to a host or enterprise PC, SCADA/HMI, or commercial database application.
SECS/GEM Equipment Interface
Native GEM equipment port built-in with capabilities that include data collection, alarm management, remote control, process program management, material movement, equipment terminal services, and spooling.
Serial Connection
Software configurable RS-232/RS-422 serial ports are available with communication rates up to 38.4k baud for connection to devices such as pod door openers/SMIF's, notch aligners, mass flow controllers, metering pumps, and environmental controls.
