Controllers MELSEC iQ-R Series Product features -Concept-
High-available process control in a scalable automation solution
MELSEC iQ-R Series process CPU modules are designed to cover wide-ranging process control applications, from small- to large-scale. All models provide high-speed performance coupled with the ability to handle large PID loops utilizing embedded PID control algorithms; integrating both general and process control into one module. When paired with a redundant function module, a redundant control system ideal for applications that require highly reliable control can be easily realized at a low cost.
System monitoring control and data utilization
Extensive visualization
SCADA Software GENESIS64™, GT SoftGOT2000, and GOT2000 provide extensive visualization with their enhanced interconnectivity with the MELSEC iQ-R Series. Advanced features such as energy management, scheduling, alarm and event management, trending, reporting, historian, and Geo-SCADA monitoring realize intuitive factory-wide control.
Multi-level redundancy ensuring continuous control
High availability
Highly reliable control systems can be easily realized minimizing the possibility of single-point failure at the visualization (SCADA), control, network, and extension cable levels, thereby avoiding system downtime and ensuring continuous control and operation of critical systems.
Embedded PID algorithms
PID control
The process CPU includes dedicated algorithms such as two-degree-of-freedom PID, sample PI, and auto-tuning support advanced process control.
One package process control software
Integrated engineering
GX Works3, the standard integrated engineering software for the MELSEC iQ-R Series, makes programming redundant process control systems relatively easy. The program editor uses function block diagram (FBD) language for process control and simplifies system configuration with its intuitive features such as process tag label (variables) sharing, simple program structure, and easy project upload/download to the process CPU.
