Mitsubishi Q series Motion Controller is a powerful and versatile solution for complex automation applications requiring precise motion control. It’s part of the MELSEC Q series, a modular programmable logic controller (PLC) platform known for its high performance and scalability.
Features
- High-speed control: Achieves high-speed and high-accuracy motion control, suitable for demanding applications.
- Multi-axis control: Can control multiple axes simultaneously, enabling complex coordinated movements.
- Advanced functions: Offers a wide range of advanced motion control functions, including interpolation, cam control, synchronous control, and more.
- Flexible configuration: Can be configured to meet specific application requirements, with various modules and options available.
- Seamless integration: Integrates seamlessly with other MELSEC Q series modules and devices, simplifying system design and implementation.
Multiple CPU Control by PLC CPU and Motion CPU
CPU loads are distributed by sharing tasks between the Motion controller and the Programmable controller. Complex servo controls are executed by the Motion controllers, while machine and information control is managed by the Programmable controllers. By selecting the Motion CPU and PLC CPU according to the application, a flexible system is configured. The program of Motion CPU is described with the Motion SFC program
High Response Control
The Motion operation cycle of 0.22 ms/4 axes is achieved to meet customer needs for a shorter tact time. Even at an operation cycle of 0.44 ms, up to 10 axes are controlled without losing high response.
Reduced Wiring, Space Saving
The number of wires and parts is drastically reduced when the Motion controller is used with 2-axis servo amplifier or 3-axis servo amplifier of MR-J4 series. When the Motion controller is used with MR-J4W3-B servo amplifier (3-axis type), the installation space is reduced by approximately 30%.
High-speed Synchronous Network SSCNETIII/H
- Communications speed is increased to 150 Mbps full duplex (equivalent to 300 Mbps half duplex), three times faster than the conventional speed.
- System response is dramatically improved. Smooth control of a machine is possible using high-speed serial communications with a cycle time of 0.222 ms.
- Synchronous communications are achieved with SSCNETIII/H, offering technical advantages for machines that require deterministic control.
- Long distance wiring is possible up to 3200 m (10498.69 ft.) per system (maximum of 100 m (328.08 ft.) between stations x control axes up to 32 axes), suitable for large-scale systems. SSCNETIII/H compatible and SSCNETIII compatible servo amplifiers can be used together.
- (The communications speed when SSCNETIII compatible products are used together in the same system: 150 Mbps full duplex)
