MOTION CONTROL SYSTEM, MSC-250 USER'S GUIDE
AUGUST 1998 INTRODUCTION vii
INTRODUCTION
The Industrial Indexing Systems Motion Control System MSC-250 is a microprocessor-
based, position-loop controller. It is a dual 32-bit technology, 2½-axis, closed-loop
controller that works with separate servo drives, motors, and encoder feedback devices to
accurately fix the position of the motor shafts.
The MSC-250 controller is part of the MSC family of controllers and peripheral equipment
produced by Industrial Indexing Systems. It uses the same Macroprogram control
language already familiar to users of the MSC-850 family of controllers and is fully
compatible with this family of controllers.
This manual describes proper installation, operation, and troubleshooting procedures for
the MSC-250 controller. The manual assumes no prior knowledge of Industrial Indexing
System equipment. It does assume knowledge of proper mechanical, electrical, and
electronic maintenance and safety procedures. If the equipment is used in a manner not
specified in this manual, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Information in this manual is subject to change without prior notification.
The manual uses a variety of highlighted blocks to emphasize important information.
Always pay careful attention to this information. The types of highlighted blocks used are:
WARNING

NOTE
Used to identify unusual or unexpected conditions or to point out the
need for alternate procedures. It is also used for emphasis when a
CAUTION or WARNING is not required.
This manual describes the controller and some related devices. For completeness, this
manual also describes various aspects of related feedback devices and drives. However,
as sold, the MSC-250 controller only includes the controller, a line cord, and manual. All
other items are optional ⎯ and must be specified separately ⎯ to allow total design
flexibility. Connecting cables can be specified with any desired length (although there are
