Overview

MKS communication and fieldbus coupler modules (CM) provide a compact, customizable, and cost effective solution for standalone manual control, data logging, or distributed I/O. The CM can be implemented as a standalone unit, supporting manual, remote control capabilities with the Controls Workbench application, with built in data logging and process monitoring, or with LabVIEW.

Interfaces with MKS controls workbench, for process monitoring & remote control
Supports fieldbuses & control networks like EtherCAT, Modbus TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP
Scalable to any number of MKS I/O slices to create a distributed I/O support for hundreds of channels
Compact footprint
Interface with LabVIEW

Controls Workbench Software

Controls Workbench software is an integrated, customizable software application that is included with the MKS Automation Platform. The CWB is a central, powerful interface that provides users a simple, complete solution for device configuration along with the ability to view, data log, chart and export process data, perform manual process control, process troubleshooting, and advanced tuning of the MKS controllers (PAC 1000, PAC 100, Communications Module, MultiTherm 2000 and MultiTherm 1000).
