1. Control Box Description
The MC3 controls box stands for Motion Control Revision 3. The MC3 includes a
programmable logic controller (PLC), which provides customizability of turntable
controls.
Control capabilities of the MC3 includes, but not limited to;
clockwise/counterclockwise control, wireless control, 3rd party application control
utilizing client/server Modbus configuration, addition of control components such as
selector switches and push buttons, and much more. Please contact our sales
department for additional information on the MC3 and customized options.
2. Installation Requirements

MC3 Control Box MANUAL
Page 4of 13
www.carousel-usa.com | 15206 Ceres Ave, Fontana, CA 92335 | [phone]
As an OEM, Carousel USA is responsible for the installation of our equipment only and
cannot perform electrical work during our installation process.
A. Power and Control Requirements, Provided by Others.
MC3 Installation requires a minimum of three (3) conduits:
1. One (1) conduit for power to the control box.
2. One (1) conduit for power from the control box to the motor.
3. One (1) conduit for encoder signal from the control box to the motor.
4. Additional conduit(s) may be required for custom applications.
Electrician responsibilities includes the following tasks:
1. Mounting the MC3 enclosure to the wall.
2. Provide power to the control box, including penetration of enclosure. Typical
power requirements to the control box is a single-phase, 230 volts circuit, with
minimum ampacity of 8 amps. 2 wires + ground.
3. Provide conduit and wire to motor from control box. Typical motor
requirements are than 1.5HP motor, 3-phase, 230 volts, 4.2 amps. 3 wires +
ground.
4. Provide conduit and cable to motor for signal (encoder). Typical encoder cable
requirements include a five (4) conductor cable, minimum #18 AWG. Signal
characteristics is a 24VDC, 50mA Signal. A multiple conductor data cable has
been proven to provide best performance; shielding is typically not required
but may provide beneficial signal protection.
5. Fish the power wire from the enclosure to the turntable motor.
6. Land the power wires onto the terminal blocks or VFD in the control box.
7. Land the power wires onto the motor leads ensuring that the motor is wired
for the appropriate voltage operation.
8. Fish the signal cable from the MC3 enclosure to the gray plastic junction box in
the turntable pit. Supply 1/2" trade size cord grip as needed.
9. Land the signal wires into the MC3 enclosure and the junction box. The details
that follow, and/or our technician can help identify the appropriate positions.

MC3 Control Box MANUAL

The MC3 enclosure uses spring clamp terminal blocks. These require the use of
a small flathead screwdriver to land the signal wires. See the illustration below.

2. MC3 External Layout
The following is a typical layout and function of devices located on the door of a
standard MC3 control box. The electronic equipment that drives the standard MC3
system is mounted in a light gray powder coated steel enclosure.
A. Basic Operation
Use the CCW/CW switch to move the turntable as desired.
B. Front Panel Interface
iii. Lockable Disconnect
The MC3 enclosure features a disconnect switch with multiple features.

•When it is set to the ON position, the panel is powered up and the enclosure
cannot be opened.
•Or if set to the off position, the switch features a tab that can be pulled out
which prevents the enclosure from opening. A padlock can be inserted through
the tab to prevent users from activating the switch as well. If the tab is pushed
back in the enclosure can be opened freely.
•CAUTION, the following to be performed by authorized personnel only: To
circumvent this mechanical interlock and power up the system with the door
open (Often necessary when troubleshooting), turn the system off, open the
enclosure then use fingers or a tool to carefully switch the oval shaped
disconnect on.
iv. Power
The device labeled power functions as both an indicator light and a pushbutton.
Illuminating Solid: The green power light illuminates solid when the low voltage
system is reporting power and is booted up.
Slow Blink: The indicator will blink when the turntable is in motion.
Pushbutton: Serves as a "shift" key to alter other commands. Specifics of use are
defined in the command button sections below.
v. Alert
Solid: The red alert light will illuminate solid when there is a communication fault with
the VFD. Contact Carousel USA if this problem occurs.
Slow blink: VFD FAULT A slow blink indicates that the VFD has experienced a fault. This
may range from insignificant to a severe problem. Contact Carousel USA if a fault is
persistent and prevents proper use of the equipment. Resetting a fault is covered in
the JOG command section below.
Fast blink: E-STOP ENGAGED A fast blink indicates that the E-Stop is engaged. Reset
the E-Stop by twisting it clockwise and pulling out.
Pushbutton: STOP A momentary push of this button will trigger a stop command. The
turntable will decelerate to a stop. Other than using the PC based controls, this is the
preferred way to stop the turntable if there is unintended movement.
This key also serves as a "shift" key to alter other commands. Specifics of use are
defined in the command button sections below.

vi. Mushroom Stop Button
The Mushroom stop button is meant to be used in a more severe stopping situation
where the table should stop immediately. For "everyday" stopping, either use the
digital PC controller or push the "Alert" button on the panel.
vii. CW/CCW Switch
The jog switch is a momentary spring-to-center 3-position selector switch. When in the
vertical position the switch is not sending any commands to the controller. If rocked
into the CW or CCW position, the table will accelerate to a preset jog speed then
decelerate to a stop when released.
C. Ethernet and Camera Ports
After the electrician finishes punch outs and wiring the enclosure there will be several
other conduits (Incoming power, outgoing motor, outgoing data). However,
viii. Ethernet
The ethernet port allows for communication between a PC or MAC and the MC3
system. The ideal setup is to plug the enclosure into an existing network that the
operating computer has already joined (via ethernet cable or Wi-Fi). The network
connection is hardwired and will operate using cat 5e cable (or better).
An IT professional may be able to use a typical off-the-shelf network bridge to connect
the MC3 wirelessly to the network, however the setup for such a system is outside of
the scope or support that Carousel USA offers.
the enclosure will ship with two ports already located on the bottom.

ix. Camera Shutter Cable (Photography installations)
The slim black cable features a Female 2.5mm jack. A connector will plug into the jack
and allow the MC3 system to control the shutter release of the camera.
Note: Full details for camera setup and use are included in the CUSA360 User Manual.
