An iQ Platform enables total integration of control and communications from a single, highly scalable hardware platform and is capable of handling anything from a handful of I/O up to several thousand. With the new iQ-R series, Mitsubishi Electric has brought even greater performance to the iQ Platform, delivering the ability to integrate sequence, motion, safety and process control to a single backplane with benchmark standards for processing power and synchronisation capability in even the most demanding automation environments.
The new iQ-R series CPU offers dramatic improvements in performance, setting new benchmark standards for processing speed. It 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.
The new iQ-R series boasts of several sterling features beginning with the fact that it is one of the fastest PLC in the industry with a processing speed of 0.98 ns. It has an advanced networking using built-in dual CC-Link IE (1 Gbps) ports and supports Built-in Database and SD Card. It has a dedicated Motion CPU for Synchronous control over 192 axes and Advanced Synchronous & Position Control Functions.
The new iQ-R series integrate Safety and Standard programs in Single PLC with SIL 3 Safety. It connects Safety Remote I/O’s on high Speed CC Link IE Field Network and executes up to 500 PID loops with Auto-Tuning Feature. It has Hot-Swappable I/O Modules and FBD Programming, easier Project Management through Navigator and supports IEC 61131-3 standards for programming The series also enlists several benefits including improving overall productivity, reducing maintenance costs and downtime, reducing development cost through intuitive engineering and offering robust security and extensive compatibility.
