The Future Design Controls MCT-CM is a powerful, PLC-based temperature and process controller that combines a color touchscreen HMI, multi-loop PID control, data logging, and secure connectivity in one compact system. Designed for industrial ovens, furnaces, environmental chambers, and thermal processing equipment, the MCT-CM replaces multiple separate components with an easy-to-use, scalable control platform.

Simple, Touchscreen-Driven Operation

The MCT-CM is designed to operate like a modern device, with a 4.3″ or 7″ touchscreen using menu and slide navigation. Operators can quickly access key functions, manage profiling, and monitor live trends. With 64-step profiling and 8 GB of internal storage, the system easily handles complex thermal recipes.

 

Flexible Multi-Loop & I/O Architecture

The MCT-CM supports 1 to 10 control loops with generous I/O capabilities:

– Up to 16 digital inputs and 32 programmable digital outputs

– Up to 15 monitor points for expanded system visibility

It supports profiling, static and cascade control, redundancy functions, and is ideal for multi-zone ovens, furnaces, kilns, freezers, and test chambers.

Advanced Data Logging, Security & Compliance

The MCT-CM includes:

– User-group security with four access levels

– Digitally signed data logs and audit trails

– Built-in data logging, trend charts, and historical viewers

These features support AMS2750, 21 CFR Part 11 and quality programs when used with appropriate system integration and documentation.

 

Built-In Connectivity & Remote Access

Connectivity features include:

– Ethernet 10/100Base-T and RS-232/485 serial communications

– Modbus Master and Slave over serial and TCP/IP

– Email/SMS alerts, FTP support, DataWeb and FileWeb

– SQL-compatible DataWeb for SCADA and MES integration

– Remote viewing via VNC, mobile devices or web pages

 

Rugged Design for Industrial Environments

The MCT-CM features:

– 4.3″ or 7″ TFT touchscreen displays

– 480×272 (4.3″) or 800×480 (7″) resolution

– NEMA 4X / IP65 front panel protection

– Operating temperature of 0 to 50°C

– 90–250 VAC or 11–26 VAC/VDC power options

Built for long-term industrial use with shock/vibration testing, isolation, and global certifications.

The MCT-CM system is ordered using three required components:

  1. Touchscreen Display
  2. Firmware SD Card
  3. Control Module (CM)

 

  1. Touchscreen Display: FDC-0450 (4.3″ HMI) or FDC-0730 (7″ HMI)
  2. Firmware SD Card: SD-4CM (0450) or SD7CM (0730)
  3. Control Module (CM6-XXXXXXX)

* Loop controllers and optional I/O are ordered separately.

300 Series 9300 / C-Series R22 / B42 Board Level Control

 

Example Build:

  1. FDC-0730-1011000BN:  (7″ Display)
  2. SD-7CM: Firmware for HMI
  3. CM6-2101400
  • 2: CM30: CM software for SIF52 to FDC 300 Series
  • 1: FC6A‐PC3 RS485 Modbus RTU port (slave)
  • 0: No additional digital inputs
  • 1: FC6A‐T08P1 8‐digital output– TTL 24Vdc
  • 4:  4 A‐IO cards FC6A‐L03CN1 (4‐20mA or 0‐10Vdc IO)
  • 0: No additional Monitor Inputs
  • 0: None

MCT-CM Order Matrix

Since the FDC-300 Series is chosen above for the PID controller, they are added as a separate line item with quantity depending on number of required loops.
