The MELSEC iQ-R Series includes a wide range of programmable automation controllers capable of catering to diversified automation control needs, redesigned around the new MELSEC iQ-R high-speed system bus to ensure high performance and intelligent processing power. The lineup includes a high-performance, general-purpose controller (with an embedded CC-Link IE network model available) capable of variable memory capacities and a high-precision motion controller with variable controllable axes. In addition, application-specific CPUs are available; the Safety CPU (supporting functional safety standards), Process CPU (supporting high-speed PID control and hot-swap of I/O modules and when paired with a redundant function module realizes a high available control system), and the C Controller CPU, which provides C language programming ideal for converting from personal computer or micro-controller based systems.
