Motion PLC
Compact PLC for machine control, multi-axis management, and integration into industrial automation systems.
Machine control and motion control in a single compact platform
The MCA6 PLC is designed to manage applications ranging from basic logic control to complex multi-axis systems. The platform combines PLC functions, motion control, industrial communication, and field device configuration, offering a compact solution for machine builders, system integrators, and automated production lines.
The MCA6 series represents a new generation of motion PLCs based on an open Ethernet industrial network, with support for protocols such as EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, OPC UA, Modbus TCP, and TCP/IP, with the aim of connecting machine control and factory automation.
An HMI interface designed for connected machines and advanced automation systems
ATP5000 series HMIs are designed to simplify the interaction between operator and machine, offering a clear, responsive, and easily configurable visualization platform.
The combination of a high-brightness display, 1 GHz Cortex-A7 processor, integrated memory, and a wide range of communication ports allows ATP5000 HMIs to be used in industrial applications where control, diagnostics, recipe management, parameter monitoring, and communication with PLCs or field devices are required.

Why choose MCA6
1. High-performance multi-axis control
The MCA6 PLC supports axis control via EtherCAT bus, with advanced features for multi-axis motion applications. MOONS’ indicates support for up to 64 EtherCAT axes and up to 128 EtherCAT slaves, with communication cycles in the millisecond range.
2. Multi-protocol industrial communication
The MCA6 series integrates multiple communication interfaces and supports standard industrial protocols, including EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, OPC UA, Modbus TCP, UDP, TCP/IP, CANopen, and Modbus RTU. The configuration with multiple RJ45 ports and RS485 interface enables integration with HMIs, drives, remote I/O, and supervision systems.
3. Flexible programming with McEngine Pro
McEngine Pro software, based on the CODESYS platform, provides a complete environment for configuration, programming, commissioning, and monitoring. MOONS’ indicates support for IEC languages such as LD, ST, FBD, SFC, and CFC, making the platform suitable for both logic applications and more advanced motion architectures.
4. Modular expandability and compact installation
The MCA6 series is designed for DIN rail installation and to fit into compact electrical cabinets. The PLC unit can be expanded with MET2 series I/O modules and optional cards, supporting digital, analog, temperature, pressure, high-speed counting, pulse output, and communication modules.
