C Intelligent Function Module

The C intelligent function module series are available with a dual-core Arm^®-based controller that supports Linux^® (supports multiple applications) or VxWorks^® (advanced data analysis) operating systems which allows execution of complex programs, thereby providing a robust and deterministic alternative to computer-based systems. Utilizing a fan-less hardware design, modules are ideal for clean fab-based environments, where dust circulation can be detrimental to the production environment, and can be used for applications such as in-line production quality testing or as a gateway for various industry-specific communications protocols.

Realize complex arithmetic equations in C/C++

The C intelligent function module enables the execution of C/C++ programs when paired with a standard MELSEC iQ-R Series programmable controller CPU, emulating the same features as a standalone C Controller. Representing complex arithmetic and string equations in C/C++ programs is much easier than implementing in ladder form, thereby reducing overall development time and program size. Additionally, intellectual property is simplified as the result of separating it from the ladder program.

Application development in simple steps

CW Workbench^*1 is used as the main programming software in C/C++ with a VxWorks^® emulator, CW-Sim/CW-Sim standalone, which allows debugging without requiring any hardware.
