Controllers MELSEC-Q Series
Product features -CPU-
CPU Lineup
Multiple CPUs ideal for distributed control and distributed function
The MELSEC-Q Series offers programmable controller, process, 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 CPU
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 and GX Works2 support process programming (FBD). The Universal model process CPU includes four models, from a small-scale suitable for discrete process control to a large-scale for continuous process control (PID loops: up to about 100 loops).
Pre-installed systems with the C Controller
■ C Controller CPU
- *1
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.

Ideal for a diverse range of systems, based on a generic platform architecture
Leveraging the C Controller to realizing customized systems, by utilization of third-party applications, installation of third-party partner OS, utilization of programs, and open source applications.
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 CPU
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 controller
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.
Integrating the CNC with programmable controller
■ CNCCPU
This CNC controller is part of the Mitsubishi FA integration solution “iQ Platform”.
The integration of the high-performance CNC and high-speed programmable controller helps reduce the total operation cycle time. Supporting a wide range of interface and I/O modules flexible to many different applications.
