transportation. Within this, the industrial automation business has grown significantly since the first induction motor
was manufactured over 90 years ago and has closely followed the automation industry in Japan, Asia, and beyond.
Mitsubishi Electric industrial automation boasts a wide-range of product areas such as production control, drives, and
mechatronics that are used in various industries. In addition, Mitsubishi Electric offers e-F@ctory and iQ Platform,
leveraging its total industrial automation solution portfolio.

Intelligence in everything automated—MELSEC


The MELSEC (Mitsubishi ELectric SEquence Control) brand is well known in the automation industry for robust quality
and excellent performance that realizes a reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO). The MELSEC lineup consists of
various products, the flagship products being the MELSEC-Q Series and recently introduced MELSEC iQ-R Series.
These high-end programmable controllers, mainly used for controlling processes in manufacturing lines and advanced
machines are complimented by small- to medium-sized controllers like the MELSEC-L Series, MELSEC-F Series and
the new MELSEC iQ-F Series, which are commonly utilized for cell manufacturing and stand-alone applications. Over
the years, a main characteristic of the MELSEC Series has been seamless connection, from the sensor level all the
way through to Enterprise covering all aspects of manufacturing.

Maximizing productivity and reducing costs
across the entire enterprise
e-F@ctory is the Mitsubishi Electric solution for improving the performance of any manufacturing
enterprise by enhancing productivity, and reducing the maintenance and operations costs
together with seamless information flow throughout the plant. e-F@ctory uses a combination
of factory automation and IT technologies, offering solutions to reduce the total cost of
development, production, and maintenance by supporting advanced Monozukuri*.

e-F@ctory helps to reduce overall costs and is achieved in the following four areas:
* Monozukuri is an initiative started in Japan for promoting its unique manufacturing style for continuous improvement in production processes and operations. The word is derived by combining the words “mono”,
the thing that is manufactured, and “zukuri”, the process of manufacturing

IT system
Reduce energy costs
Energy saving solution
Modern manufacturing depends much on reducing energy costs as a way to
realize an efficient manufacturing enterprise. e-F@ctory supports this by allowing
visualization of real‑time energy usage, helping to reduce the overall energy
consumption.

Integrated Safety control


The MELSEC iQ-R Series safety control system consists of a safety CPU that is compliant with
international safety standards, ISO 13849-1 PL e and IEC 61508 SIL 3 and can execute both safety and
general logic in the same CPU. The CPU module paired with the safety function module enables safety
control and can be installed on a standard base unit realizing integration into an existing or new control
system. Safety I/Os are controlled via CC-Link IE Field network connected to dedicated safety remote I/Os.

Highly-scalable redundant control


The MELSEC iQ-R Series redundant control system is based on a dual-system architecture where all
modules on a primary system are duplicated onto a second or standby system with a tracking cable
connecting the systems together. Both systems consist of the process CPU module and redundant function
module, with the CPU module able to execute standard logic and process control. Remote I/O is controlled
via the CC-Link IE Field network, and dedicated base units supporting redundant power supplies come in
either standard or extended temperature models.

Programmable Controller

Highly accurate synchronization


The MELSEC iQ-R Series system provides highly accurate synchronization between modules on
the control system which is realized through inter-modular synchronization. Additionally, use of the
CC‑Link IE Field Network realizes network-level synchronization, providing node-level synchronization
that ensures deterministic data flow void of any influence from data transmission delays. This is ideal for
applications such as “cutting and folding” inside an offset printer, which requires synchronization between
the printing quality sensor, high-speed rotary cutter, folding roller and conveyor.

Flexible, large-capacity data storage


The MELSEC iQ-R Series programmable controller CPU is designed to allow an external SRAM cassette to
be installed directly into the CPU module. This option makes it possible to increase internal device memory
to an impressive 5786K words, expanding device/label memory even further. An SD memory card can be
used at the same time, expanding data logging memory and the capacity of the internal database, which

Data management utilizing internal database (DB)


The CPU includes an internal database that can be installed into the SD memory card. This feature allows,
for example, a selection of database commands that can add/delete/change records to be utilized for
simple recipe functions. It is also much easier to import/export Unicode files for use in spreadsheets. This
is a very useful feature, especially for the food and beverage industry where multiple product variations are
produced using the same machine process.

Intuitive root cause analysis


When the SD memory card is installed, device data is saved automatically to the SD memory at the time of
system failure. This data is useful for investigating the cause of the failure, enabling various data collected
before and during the event to be analyzed. The data can be used in a situation such as when the origin of
a machine is different than where the machine was actually being used, and the data can simply be sent by
e-mail (for example) as a data file for analysis.

Conventionally, continuous access to the standard RAM and SRAM card’s file register area could not
be achieved which had to be reflected in the user program. When an 8 MB extended SRAM cassette*2
is installed in the High-Speed Universal model QCPU, the standard RAM can be as one continuous

Various built-in I/O features and communication interfaces come as standard


In its compact body, a large variety of I/O features are built in as standard. Due to an abundance of
advanced functionality, L Series CPUs are flexible enough to meet a wide variety of needs. With a display
unit enabling routine operation without a computer, an SD memory card, and easy-to-use programming
environment, the L Series dramatically improves system designing and system operation and contributes
to improve work efficiency. The display unit*1 shows system statuses and enables setting changes to be
made without a program. Even when an error occurs, the error status can be easily checked, assisting
troubleshooting on-site.

Gain more flexibility with an integrated system bus structure


L Series modules do not require a base unit. Having an integrated
system bus structure, the L Series can be attached directly to a DIN rail
by using the minimal required space. Furthermore, adding modules to
the system is not restricted by the number of available base unit slots,
and costs may be reduced due to the elimination of extension base
units.

Improved debugging for system startup and troubleshooting


Device values in the CPU can be monitored in real-time with a detailed setting including interval and timing.
Additionally, changes in the device value can be monitored within the GX LogViewer trend graph and are
exportable to a computer for further analysis.

control can be simply performed (start/stop) for each axis, allowing synchronous and positional control axes
within the same program. Up to 4 control axes*1 can be synchronized when using the synchronous encoder,
such as that used for packing machines, for example.

The MELSEC iQ-R Series process CPU includes dedicated algorithms (such as two-degree-of-freedom
PID, sample PI, and auto-tuning), and supports memory sizes of up to 1200K steps. In addition, when
paired with a redundant function module, a highly reliable (redundant) control system can be realized. The
SIL2 process CPU*2 also realizes a redundant system conforming to IEC 61508 SIL 2 safety standard.
GX Works3 makes programming easier by being able to manage process control, safety and generic
programs together. Transition from existing control systems based on MELSEC-Q Series is simpler by using
the RQ extension base unit. The MELSEC-Q Series also enables loop control (similar to the MELSEC iQ-R
