Universal model QCPU Productivity User-friendly Maintenance cost CPU Lineup

Multiple CPUs ideal for distributed control and distributed function

The MELSEC-Q Series offers programmable controller, process, redundant, C language, motion, robot and CNC CPUs to cover various different control requirements.
With the multiple CPU configuration, a best-fit control system can be realized. In addition, high availability systems can be easily realized with the high-reliability redundant system range.

Detailed instrument control to match the process state

●Universal model process CPUQ04UDPVCPUQ06UDPVCPUQ13UDPVCPUQ26UDPVCPU

MELSEC process

MELSEC process controllers offer features that rival those of costly DCS systems at a fraction of the cost. A single CPU can control a large number of PID loops while simultaneously performing standard sequence control. In addition, PX Developer now supports GX Works2 programming software.

Redundancy

●Redundant CPUQ12PRHCPUQ25PRHCPU^*1

Redundant local I/O system

The redundant systems are designed to provide the users with systems that have the properties of Q Series and are not affected by sudden failures. The basic system including CPU module, power supply module, main base unit and network module is redundant to prevent system down. Programming can be performed without consciousness of redundancy.
In addition, PX Developer now supports GX Works2 programming software.
With this connection between the two software, both sequence control and loop control programs can be used in the redundant CPU.

*1: Production will be discontinued in September 2022.

*2: The number of PID loops may change if programs (other than loop control) are large.
Refer to the PX Developer Version 1 Programming Manual or Process Technical Guide for details.

Pre-installed systems with the C Controller

● C Controller CPUQ24DHCCPU-VQ24DHCCPU-VG^*3Q24DHCCPU-LSQ26DHCCPU-LSQ12DCCPU-V

The C Controller is a generic open platform controller that can execute C language type programs, based on the MELSEC system architecture. It utilizes industrial performance such as long term parts supply, high availability, and advanced functionality. The high-end model Q24DHCCPU-V/-VG comes pre-installed with VxWorks^®, and supports advanced information processing and control system I/O. The standard model Q12DCCPU-V is a space saving controller that realizes high-speed I/O control. The Q24DHCCPU-LS and Q26DHCCPU-LS are OS independent controllers. Linux^® based control can be easily realized by installing third-party partner OS, supporting advanced information processing with a user interface environment close to conventional personal computers. Wide scope of applications are realized with the availability of these controllers, used together with MELSEC-Q Series I/O modules, third-party products, open source, and customized applications/programs. Providing freedom with a robust, easier and high-performance system.

*3: Set product (Q24DHCCPU-VG-B000/B002) with GENWARE^® 3-VG by International Laboratory Corporation.

The C Controller overcomes the overheads associated with maintaining embedded computers (micro boards, etc.) and industrial computers realizing a cost effective solution.

The C Controller platform is a solution that realizes personal computer level functionality without the burden of high maintenance costs usually associated with personal computers. In addition, it includes a robust design that is ideal for industrial environments by being based on the high quality MELSEC control system.

Connecting with servo amplifiers and servo motors

●Motion CPUQ173DSCPUQ172DSCPU

Each MELSEC-Q Series Motion controller is capable of high-speed control of up to 32 axes (96 axes when using three CPUs together). Each Motion CPU is the same size as a standard Q Series programmable controller. The new generation Motion controller is packed with advanced functions while saving space with its smaller size.

Automating production sites with robots

●Robot controllerCR800-Q

The iQ Platform compatible robot controller increases the speed of data communications between CPUs and dramatically reduces I/O processing times using a high-speed standard base between multiple CPUs.
