Multi platform PERFORMANCE SYSTEM MODULAR PLC Mitsubishi Electric’s modular control solutions span a wide range of capabilities. Multiple capabilities This sophisticated concept of the modular PLCs from Mitsubishi Electric allows users to mix and select the best combination of CPUs, communication devices, special function modules and I/O modules. This allows users to configure systems into what they need, when they need it, where they need it. The MELSEC System Q allows to combine basic and advanced PLC CPUs, specialist Motion and even PC CPUs (industrial PCs) into a single System Q solution...

Multi platform Flexible and scalable An automation latform p for the future Flexibility and scalability are the key design features that enable the modular PLCs to be a truly powerful automation platform. Users can apply simple control to an individual machine or integrated plant wide management all from the same hardware base. The modular PLC is supported by several software tools which enable easy and comprehensive integration using Mitsubishi Electric’s EZSocket middleware. In addition, Mitsubishi Electric also offer software tools that comply with international standards such as IEC  61131-3,...

The next level iQ Platform PLC Reduced maintenance effort The MELSEC iQ-R series incorporates a host of features and functions that help to reduce maintenance efforts and costs. For example, users can define errors and events to be automatically stored to SD card through the built-in SD card slot. In the case of an error or certain event the PLC can store all relevant process information, the error & event log including operation history to an SD card. This data can then easily be analyzed and help to reduce downtime and maintenance effort. MELSEC System Q compatibility iQ Platform enables total...
