About this Manual3. MPC
3.1.
The MPC is SMC's low cost Ethernet positioning cylinder. The MPC series offers a cylinder, solenoid
valve, linear positioner, and controller in one package. With its integral position control, the MPC
needs only power and Ethernet input signal. The target position is kept by opening and closing
solenoid valves controlling pressure on the cylinder. The MPC has an output signal to give position
feedback to a customer's controller. Standard ball bushings protect against side load.
Purpose3.2.
The purpose of this manual is to provide the user with necessary information to install, configure,
and use the MPCXX-XXX-XXX-XX-DUT01607. The MPC may be operated under the control of a
network connected PLC. This manual provides information for MPC setup and configuration,
examples of the web interface, and a brief overview of the PLC. This document is not an operator’s
manual for the Rockwell PLC or any other PLC. Please see the PLC manufacturer’s documentation
for detailed instructions on the setup and use of your PLC.

Product Summary5.
The MPCXX-XXX-XXX-XX-DUT01607 (MPC) is a multi-position cylinder which is controlled by an
Ethernet interface. MPCs move to a position value specified by the user. In the past, an electric
actuator was the only option for applications demanding a multiple number of stroke positions.
SMC's MPC series now provides an alternative and economical solution.
The Ethernet interface allows a user to configure, control, and monitor the MPC over a
communication link using commands sent from a PLC or internal webserver. The user can change
the position setpoint as required. The user can also monitor the operation of the MPC, verifying the
actual position.
Offered as a pneumatic and lower cost alternative, the MPC (Multi Position Cylinder) uses an
Ethernet input signal to automatically adjust the actuator stroke. Once the MPC reaches the desired
position, it is pneumatically locked until the input signal is changed.
To accomplish this, the MPC utilizes an integrated cylinder, solenoid valve, linear sensor, and
controller all in one unit. You need only to supply air, power, and the appropriate input signal. This
easy adjustment makes the MPC perfect for on the fly changes to your process.

Ethernet MPC. The webserver or explicit messages can all be used to generate this
initial connection. This location is maintained by closed valves. Some drifting of
position could occur over time as air leaks from the cylinder.

Daisy Chaining Power and Ethernet11.
The daisy chaining feature is an optional way to power MPC units. This eliminates the need to run a
power cable to each MPC from the power supply directly or running a separate power trunk line.
Daisy chaining can eliminates the need for long power cables.
Connecting MPCs for Daisy Chaining11.1.
The cable connections are critical for proper operation of daisy chaining. The following is an
example of proper cable connections.
When daisy chaining, the first MPC can supply power to the next 19 MPCs without the need for
another power supply if using 48 volts. This drops to only 4 if using 24 volts. The MPC has under
voltage detection to let you know if you do not have enough voltage supplied to the MPC for proper
operation. The MPC does not limit the number of MPCs which can be connected to an Ethernet
network. The network size limits come from the PLC and how many devices it can talk to at one
time.
Figure 11-1 - MPC Group Power Connections
The diagram illustrates the Ethernet communication and power cable connections required to
support 21 MPCs when daisy chaining is in use. The MPCs in the dashed box form a single Power
daisy chain group. Note that power daisy chaining supports a maximum of 20 MPCs in one power
group. This does not mean that you cannot have more than 20 MPCs connected to a single supply.
More MPCs can be supported as long as the supply can source enough power to support multiple
chains of MPCs. Each MPC uses about 7 watts of power when moving.
The following rules must be followed for proper operation
Good quality power and Ethernet cables must be used when daisy chaining11.1.1. No more than 4 amps per connector pair should be placed across MPC power In to11.1.2.
Power Out. This is a total of 8 amps if using both connector pairs as is suggested
when using daisy chaining to reduce line and connector voltage loss.
