Danaher Motion -- G&L Motion Control, Inc. introduces the MMC-Machine & Motion Control for PC utilizing open control standards to provide PC (personal computer) machine and motion control.

"The open control standards of IEC1131-3, OPC (OLE for Process Control) and SERCOS combined with the Windows NT Operating System make PC control of high performance industrial machinery possible," says Joe Martin, Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "The MMC for PC's integrated motion and logic capabilities make it an ideal choice for automation of servo-controlled machinery," adds Martin.

The MMC for PC offers an unprecedented combination of features for PC motion controls:
	Integrated logic and motion control in an IEC1131 programming environment.
	Up to 32 axes of analog-interfaced or SERCOS servo control.
	Motion capability including positioning, cam profiling and interpolation.
	Built-in OPC (OLE for Process Control) server capability.
	Email and file transfer capability standard.
	Direct interface to DeviceNet™ or Profibus.
	Uninterrupted control during PC lock-up.
	Internet and intranet access tools standard.
	Hard real-time multi-tasking with no "real-time" kernel software.
	Total machine and motion control in a compact 1/2 slot PCI bus form factor.

MMC for PC programming is performed using PiCPro™ for Windows -- Professional Edition which provides IEC1131-3 standard function block programming for motion and ladder logic programming for machine control. Single-point programming for both motion control and machine logic greatly simplifies application and maintenance of MMC for PC-controlled machinery.
