MachineLogic™ Reliable PC-Based Control For Your Toughest Machinery Applications CTC now provides machine builders with a package of PC-based control capabilities, never before available with deterministic, hard real-time control and program execution times down to one millisecond. MachineLogic combines PC open architecture with PLC reliability, out-performing PLCs and PC controls with such standard offerings as simultaneous communications, full IEC 61131 programming language compliance, massive program size, and 16K of I/O. MachineLogic can be paired with CTC's PowerStation workstations and/or MachinePoint I/O for a one-source bundled solution to machine control, all sharing a single "one world" development environment. View A MachineLogic Success Story MachineLogic Now Supports Two PC-Based Runtime Targets The same MachineLogic Development Software now allows you to develop your program and run it on either the Machinelogic Soft Runtime target or the new Slot Card Runtime solution: Soft Runtime Target: Ideal for less complex machine control applications that require real-time, deterministic performance, this MachineLogic runtime solution can be added to CTC's entire family of PowerStation workstations with CTC's Interact HMI software. MachineLogic Soft Runtime supports a range of I/O communications options, including: Profibus, DeviceNet, Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP and PC/104 I/O.

Slot Card Runtime Target: Now there is a PC-based control product that outperforms even "higher-end" PLC and PC controls with capabilities such as simultaneous fieldbus (Profibus or DeviceNet) and Ethernet I/O communications, massive program size and 16K of I/O. The PCI bus Slot Card can be added to CTC's PS Series and P9 PowerStations (with PCI expansion slots) delivering the fail-safe reliability of a PLC with the following advantages:
Card operation not interrupted by host system reset (Ctrl-Alt-Del) Dedicated CPU/OS guarantees real-time, deterministic operation Designed to handle small to very large applications (up to 4 MB of application space) Power failure detection Watchdog timer and relay for MCR Built-in Ethernet port for communication to CTC development system, Ethernet I/O or OPC compliant systems OPC Server will allow any Windows-based application (HMI, SCADA, VBA, etc.) to run the card, while maintaining control system independence.   MachineLogic Development Software MachineLogic is part of CTC's MachineShop Software suite, which integrates Interact HMI development with MachineLogic's IEC-61131 compliant programming environment. MachineLogic supports the emerging global programming standard with all five IEC-61131 programming languages including: Instruction List Function Block Sequential Function Chart Structured Text Ladder Diagram	Can your PLC system do   this? Perform multiple functions such as HMI, reporting, OPC server, etc Multitasking operation Save/load programs and other data on removable Compact FLASH storage media. Share tags and common development environment with HMI software Support 16K points of I/O Run massive programs up to 4 MB Support standardized programming languages (IEC-61131) Simultaneously communicate with open fieldbus and Ethernet I/O Share data on standard networks via TCP/IP
CTC's latest version of MachineLogic development software includes the following enhancements: Slot Card or Soft Runtime Target Selection Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP and PC/104 I/O Driver Support Projects in any Language New HTML Help Templates Automatic Project Backup and Autosave Function for Worksheets Enhanced Cross Referencing Tools Graphical I/O Configuration Dialogs	Click to order your FREE Evaluation Software.
