Further reduce TCO while securing your manufacturing assets
Revolutionary, next-generation controllers
iQ Platform for maximum return on investment
Building a new era in automation
To succeed in highly competitive markets, it’s important to build automation systems that ensure high productivity and consistent product quality. The MELSEC iQ-R Series has been developed from the ground up based on common problems faced by customers and rationalizing them into seven key areas: Productivity, Engineering, Maintenance, Quality, Connectivity, Security and Compatibility. Mitsubishi Electric is taking a three-point approach to solving these problems: Reducing TCO*, and increasing the Reliability and Reusability of existing assets. As a bridge to the next generation in automation, the MELSEC iQ-R Series is a driving force behind revolutionary progress in the future of manufacturing.
*TCO: Total cost of ownership
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.
