Description

MOOG D138-001-005

I. Basic Information

MOOG D138-001-005 is a 5-user additional license key designed for the axis control software. It is not a hardware control module, but a software license product used to unlock and expand software functions and user access permissions of MOOG control systems.

Its core positioning is to provide legal software licensing for multi-user, multi-station industrial automation projects, ensuring legitimate use, full functional activation, and multi-user collaborative operation rights of MOOG control systems (such as MSC series motion controllers and supporting systems for D138 series control modules). It serves as a critical software licensing component for building large-scale, multi-node precision motion control and automation systems.

This license is fully compatible with the MOOG MACS software platform, complies with the IEC 61131 programming standard, and is highly compatible with D138 series hardware control modules (e.g., D138-002-001, D138-002-012) and MSC I/II motion controllers. It can directly activate and expand advanced software functions, supporting simultaneous multi-user login, programming, debugging, and system monitoring to meet the needs of collaborative work by multiple engineers and centralized management of multiple devices on industrial sites.

In terms of authorization mechanism, it adopts a dual mode of hardware encryption + software activation. License information is permanently bound to the device, with anti-copy and anti-tampering features. It is easy to install and efficient to activate, enabling permission upgrades without additional hardware modifications. It is widely used in high-end scenarios such as aerospace, industrial automation, and test & simulation where multiple users operate MOOG control systems.

III. Functional Features

Multi-User Collaborative Licensing: Supports 5 independent users logging into MACS software simultaneously, with assignable operation permissions (programming, debugging, monitoring, read-only). It satisfies collaborative work by multiple engineers across stations, avoids permission conflicts, and improves development efficiency for large-scale projects.
Full-Function Software Unlocking: Fully activates all core functions of MACS software, including multi-axis motion control programming, high-precision closed-loop control algorithms, complex PLC logic design, real-time data acquisition, fault diagnosis, and remote communication configuration, with no restricted functions to meet high-end precision control requirements.
High-Security Licensing Mechanism: Uses industrial-grade encryption algorithms with license keys uniquely bound to hardware devices, preventing unauthorized copying and piracy. License data is stored permanently and retained through power outages and system reinstallations, ensuring long-term stable and legal operation of the control system.
Easy Installation & Activation: Requires no additional hardware modifications; quick activation via key file or bundled dongle, completing license upgrade within 5 minutes. Supports batch activation and cross-device license migration (subject to official certification), adapting to system expansion and equipment replacement scenarios.
Strong Compatibility & Adaptability: Fully compatible with MOOG’s full range of mainstream control hardware and MACS software versions, enabling seamless connection with D138 series control modules and MSC controllers. It can be directly integrated into existing automation systems without replacing the software platform.
Hierarchical Permission Management: Supports multi-level permission assignment for administrators, engineers, and operators, with customizable function access rights to prevent misoperation and unauthorized parameter modification, enhancing the safety and stability of industrial control systems.
Remote O&M Support: Activates remote programming, remote monitoring, and remote diagnosis functions, supporting cross-region and cross-network multi-user remote operation and maintenance, suitable for unmanned stations and distributed automation system management.
