Product Features
Technology
In addition to the core digital I/O and analog modules, the MELSEC iQ-R Series includes modules that are designed for specific applications. Integration of specialized modules onto the main control bus improves performance and reduces the operating cycle as the control and execution of application-specific features can be done directly, without having to use specialized conversion or gateway devices. In addition, hardware cost can be reduced as additional systems are not required to integrate these features into the control system.
High-speed performance with reduced development cost
Together with its high-speed response owing to its performance being asynchronous to the CPU and control bus, the flexible I/O module realizes reduced development cost by allowing customization of I/O logic by simply verifying connections between various logic.
Improve productivity by monitoring various energy data with the control program
Measured data can be collected at high speed enabling preventive maintenance by constantly monitoring consumed current of motors, for example. In addition, its compact design realizes easy integration into the control system with minimal wiring required.
