MELSEC iQ-R Series Lineup

The MELSEC iQ-R Series includes a wide range of programmable automation controllers capable of catering to diversified automation control needs, redesigned around the new MELSEC iQ-R high-speed system bus to ensure high performance and intelligent processing power. The lineup includes a high-performance, general-purpose controller (with an embedded CC-Link IE network model available) capable of variable memory capacities and a high-precision motion controller with variable controllable axes. In addition, application-specific CPUs are available; the Safety CPU (supporting functional safety standards), Process CPU (supporting high-speed PID control and hot-swap of I/O modules and when paired with a redundant function module realizes a high available control system), and the C Controller CPU, which provides C language programming ideal for converting from personal computer or micro-controller based systems.

Highly scalable with program capacities from 10K to 1200K steps
Improved multi-CPU controller architecture
Embedded gigabit network ports CPU
Internal DB for simple batch recipe control
Security embedded in hardware SRAM cassette
Various motion control possible (position, speed, torque, advanced sync, etc.)
International standard (ISO 13849-1 PL e, IEC 61508 SIL 3) safety CPU
High-speed PID control, module replacement while online (hot-swap), supports highly reliable redundant system process CPU
C/C++ programming ideal for PC/micro-controller based systems
