The MDC-260 is designed as a low-price controller. It aims specifically at applications where the capacity and capability of a full controller are not needed.

The MDC-260 comes in a 3.5 inch high desktop case, but can be configured for a rack mount. While it`s compact in size, its measurement and controlling capability remains competitive. With its high measurement resolution combines with PID tuning and fast update rate, precise rate control down to 0.1 Ang/sec is possible. It also has a Rate Establish function to obtain rate control before opening the source shutter as well as multiple rate ramps to handle the most critical processes.

Like its precursors, programming the MDC-260 is easy with an intuitive menu structure, a built in material library and the alpha numeric keypad. In a few short steps, the MDC-260 automatically creates the required control inputs and outputs for your multi-pocket sources, source shutters, single, dual and multi-crystal sensor heads. Plain English condition statements help you setup user-defined inputs, outputs and actions instead of numeric codes and confusing ladder logic. You can even name your inputs, outputs, processes and materials to make them more recognizable.
