CPU

The MELSEC iQ-R Series has a wide range of programmable automation controllers to handle various different aspects of automation control. The multi-CPU architecture has been further improved and enables faster data exchange across the backplane (base unit).
The CPUs include various embedded features that enable them to perform a wide range of control tasks. They are equipped with a built-in USB port and an Ethernet port.
The motion CPUs realize various motion control functions such as positioning, speed, torque, advanced sync, etc.
The process CPU module is part of the application-specific range of the MELSEC iQ-R Series and has four CPU options, with memory sizes from 80K to 1200K steps. It is designed specifically for medium- to large-scale process control systems that require high-speed performance, coupled with handling large PID loops.
The safety CPU module enables control of both generic and safety programs in the same module, and is easily programmed using the intuitive features of GX Works3.
The C Controller module is part of the application-specific range of the MELSEC iQ-R Series. The multi-core ARM®-based controller, pre-installed with VxWorks® Version 6.9, makes it possible to simultaneously execute programs, thereby providing a robust and deterministic alternative to computer-based systems.
