Controllers MELSEC iQ-R Series Product features -High-speed counter, Channel isolated pulse input, Flexible high-speed I/O control-

Flexible high-speed I/O control module

The module includes features such as the ability to program control logic and microsecond-fast asynchronous I/O response times to the programmable controller CPU module and control bus. Ideal for product testing equipment which needs to capture products moving at high-speed.

Features<sup>High-speed, stable I/O response</sup>

  • Highly accurate I/O response
  • Hardware processing without going through the CPU module enables microsecond-fast asynchronous I/O response times
  • Stable response time irrespective of processing speed fluctuation

Easy hardware logic design with intuitive setting tool

  • Easy setup
  • Design cost reduction
  • Hardware logic can be programmed easily using the setting tool integrated with engineering software GX Works3
  • This low-cost alternative to HDL programming, logic synthesis and timing analysis reduce the design process, which is a common feature of general FPGA logic design
