Description
The MOOG D136-006-001 is an MSC-R-IO remote extension module designed for the Moog M3000® Automation System, specifically for the MSC-R (ruggedized motion controller) or its variants. Here’s a breakdown of its functionalities:
Function:
- Expands the input/output (I/O) capabilities of the MSC-R controller, allowing it to interface with more sensors and actuators within the automation system.
Key Features:
- Digital I/O Expansion: Provides additional digital input and output channels:
- Typically 16 digital inputs for receiving signals from sensors.
- Typically 8 digital outputs for sending control signals to actuators.
- PT100 Temperature Sensor Interface: Offers a dedicated interface for connecting a PT100 temperature sensor. PT100 sensors provide high-precision temperature measurement capabilities within the automation system.
- EtherCAT Slave Interface: Connects to the EtherCAT network using an M12 connector. This enables communication with the MSC-R controller and other EtherCAT devices on the network.
Benefits:
- Increases the number of sensors and actuators that the MSC-R controller can manage, suitable for complex automation tasks requiring more I/O points.
- Enables high-precision temperature monitoring using a PT100 sensor.
- Integrates seamlessly with the EtherCAT network for real-time communication within the M3000 system.
Considerations:
- The MOOG D136-006-001 is designed specifically for the Moog M3000 system and the MSC-R controller. It might not be compatible with other Moog motion controllers or industrial automation systems.
- While the M3000 system might still be in use, the D136-006-001 might be an older model. Moog might offer newer I/O expansion modules with similar or expanded functionalities.
- A specific datasheet for the D136-006-001 might be difficult to find due to its potential obsolescence. However, you can explore the Moog M3000 user manuals for general information on I/O expansion modules:
