MCC (Motion Control Chart) is a "flow diagram language" that can be used to graphically formulate the process procedures in production machines in a simple manner. The result is one or more flow diagrams, comprising MCC blocks that describe the time sequence of the individual machine actions. Due to its special means of expression, MCC (Motion Control Chart) is ideally suited to programming sequential processes.

Motion Control Chart supports the simple description of the movement sequences of machines using powerful Motion Control commands, for example: Axis referencing, axis positioning, cam synchronization and desynchronization, and much more.

Various MCC blocks are available for controlling the machine, for example, conditions must be fulfilled, I/O signals can be read or set, calculations can be formulated and different control structures such as condition (IF), cases (CASE) and loops (WHILE, REPEAT UNTIL) can be programmed.

Several MCC programs may be created to describe different process situations. For example, you can create one MCC program to bring the machine to a defined initial state when it is switched on, a second MCC program for the normal production sequence, and a third MCC program to specify what the machine has to do in the event of a fault.

All MCC blocks – a selection of the most important SIMOTION functions – are available in toolbars. They are grouped according to function and automatically inserted in the flow diagram at the marked point by clicking. By clicking on different elements, individual dialogs for further parameterization are opened. Of course, it is also possible to include individual comments to document the process sequence. Functions from the SIMOTION command library that are not individually offered as MCC blocks can be used in an MCC program by means of a special command.
