Programmable Logic Controllers
Mitsubishi offers Automation Platforms including modular PLCs to multi-disipline PACs. The L Series is a powerful but compact modular controller with many features built-in to the CPU itself. The rack-free design promotes high system flexibility with minimum form factor. The iQ Platform unifies all of the Mitsubishi Electric automation disciplines into a one-of-a-kind modular Programmable Automation Controller (PAC).
MELSEC iQ-R Automation Controller
The New Mitsubishi iQ-R series CPU offers dramatic improvements in performance, setting new benchmark standards for processing speed. This not only enables users to realise enhanced system designs, but also provides the basis for significant reduction in hardware costs.
At the same time, the iQ-R series offers reductions in development cost, maintenance cost and risk of system failure, while providing an innovative upgrade path that will enable users to take advantage of ongoing developments through software upgrades rather than hardware upgrades.
Internal Database
The CPU includes an internal database that can be installed into the SD memory card. This allows a selection of database commands that can add/ delete/change records to be utilized for simple recipe functions. It is also easy to import/export Unicode files for use in spreadsheets. This is useful where multiple product variations are produced using the same machine process.
High Speed and Synchronization
The iQ-R boasts a high speed system bus for synchronized data communications between multiple CPUs. This improves performance and accuracy, especially for high speed motion control applications.
Enhanced Security Features
iQ-R has a variety of security features to protect intellectual property and plant safety. Engineers can restrict access at the network level using IP filtering, lowering the risk of hacking or any other unauthorized third party access. At the controller level, security key authentication prevents unauthorized access to the program or execution of the CPU
