The Motion Automation Control Cards (MACCs) are stand-alone general purpose motion/automation controllers programmed with ADVANCED Motion Controls’ Click&Move® IDE software. As a stand-alone controller, a MACC can take the place of a PC in a control system to reduce cost. A MACC can also be configured to work in conjunction with a PC where the MACC handles the real-time and time-critical processes such as motion control, and the PC handles less time-critical processes such as the HMI.
