Moog D138-002-002 | Motion License Key for MSC II Controller

Description

Core Product Summary (Brand / Model / Key Attributes)

The Moog D138-002-002 is the green Motion license key for the Moog MSC II (Moog Servo Controller) within the M3000 automation system. It supplies the mandatory runtime license that enables the MSC II control module to operate and unlocks the full set of motion-oriented MACS (Moog Axis Control Software) libraries.

In addition to the base Controls functions, the D138-002-002 activates the PLCopen motion-control library, transfer-function (Z-function) library, and fieldbus libraries for CANopen and Profibus-DP. The key also stores the module’s CANopen node-ID and Ethernet IP configuration so that these settings travel with the key when a controller is replaced.

Key Technical Specifications

Detailed Product Overview

The Moog D138-002-002 is a hardware license key that must be present in the MSC II control module for the controller to boot and execute application programs. Without a valid key the MSC II remains non-functional; digital outputs are disabled and fieldbus/E-bus communication is terminated.

Two primary license-key variants exist for the MSC II. The gray Controls key (D138-002-001) provides basic runtime and control libraries. The green Motion key (D138-002-002) includes everything in the Controls key plus the motion-specific libraries required for coordinated multi-axis control: the PLCopen motion library, the transfer-function library used for advanced filtering and modeling, and the CANopen/Profibus-DP protocol libraries.

Because the key stores the runtime license together with the module’s network identity (CANopen node-ID and Ethernet addressing), a controller can be replaced while preserving the same network configuration simply by transferring the key. The key is inserted into the dedicated «LK» slot on the front of the MSC II and retained by attachment screws.

Installation and removal must be performed only with the MSC II powered off. Electrostatic discharge can corrupt the key’s memory; standard ESD precautions are therefore required. Once installed, the key remains in place for the entire operating life of the controller.

The D138-002-002 is intended for applications that need full motion-control capability under the MACS development environment (IEC 61131-based). It is not a general-purpose USB dongle or a software-only license; it is a controller-specific hardware token matched to the MSC II hardware platform.

System Compatibility & Integration Requirements

Dimensions, Mounting & Connection Notes

The D138-002-002 is a compact plug-in license key designed specifically for the MSC II «LK» slot. It is retained by attachment screws once inserted. No additional wiring or external connectors are required. Physical handling must occur only when the MSC II is powered down, and standard ESD precautions apply.

Engineering Selection Highlights

• Required for any MSC II that must execute motion functions – the controller will not start without a valid license key.
• Selects the Motion (green) feature set rather than the more limited Controls (gray) set; confirm that PLCopen, transfer-function and fieldbus libraries are needed before ordering.
• Network identity travels with the key – CANopen node-ID and Ethernet IP settings remain consistent when the physical controller is replaced.
• Must be installed in the MSC II «LK» slot and secured with the supplied attachment screws.
• Power-down insertion/removal only; ESD protection is mandatory to avoid irreversible key corruption.
• Compatible exclusively with Moog MSC II modules in the M3000 system; not interchangeable with later MSC III or MASS license keys.

FAQ

What is the Moog D138-002-002?
It is the green Motion license key that supplies the mandatory runtime license and unlocks motion-control libraries for the Moog MSC II controller.

Which controller does it support?
It is designed exclusively for the Moog MSC II (M3000 series) control module.

What additional functions does the Motion key provide compared with the Controls key?
It enables the PLCopen motion library, the transfer-function (Z-function) library, and the CANopen/Profibus-DP fieldbus libraries.

Will the MSC II run without a license key?
No. The MSC II control module does not operate without a valid license key inserted in the «LK» slot.

What data is stored on the key?
The runtime license, the list of accessible MACS libraries, the CANopen node-ID, and the Ethernet IP address, subnet mask and gateway.

Can the key be inserted or removed while the controller is powered?
No. Insertion or removal must be performed only when the MSC II is powered down to avoid permanent damage.

Is the key interchangeable with later Moog license keys (MSC III / MASS)?
No. The D138-002-002 is specific to the MSC II platform and MACS environment.

Verification & Troubleshooting Notes

• Confirm the key is fully seated in the «LK» slot and secured by the attachment screws.
• Verify that the MSC II is powered down before any insertion or removal.
• If the controller fails to start or reports a missing-license condition, check that a valid Motion or Controls key is present and that the key has not been subjected to ESD damage.
• When replacing an MSC II, transfer the original license key to the new module to retain the same network identity and library access.
• Observe all ESD precautions whenever the key is handled outside the controller.
