====== MOACON - Modular Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) ======

[[product_warning:index|Warning]]

The MOACON is a C-programmable modular industrial controller. Its modular design enables customers to
purchase just the modules needed, and aggregate them in a way that customizes the MOACON precisely for
a product's specific requirements, and provides adaptability should those requirements change.

**The MOACON's Primary Features**
  * Modular Design
  * C Programmable
  * 32 bit ARM Processor
  * USB Downloading and Debugging
  * MOACON Studio - Free Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Software


The MOACON boasts a 32-bit ARM CPU Module for fast and complex computation and data processing.
Individual modules include features for Digital I/O, Relay Output, Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-
Analog Conversion, Motor control, Temperature Monitoring, RS-232 Communication, Ethernet, and
the potential for more.

The free integrated development environment, MOACON Studio, features a C compiler, source editor, flash programming and debugging via USB, and more. The source editor features syntax highlighting, command completion, and context sensitive help making learning, developing, and testing MOACON software projects a productive experience.
