Total & Global Solution

The Q Series represents a new generation of controller platform that moves beyond the conventional PLCs of the past. It is a multi-disciplinary control platform addressing the needs of both end users and OEMs, scalable from small stand-alone machines to entire plants, across a broad range of industries. Q Series offers a broad spectrum of automation capabilities. It is equally capable of process, motion and PC based control functions, in addition to traditional sequence control. All of these, some of these, or one of these functions may be combined together on the same compact rack based system to address the needs of your application.

• Spans a range of CPU types from small machines to complex network systems handling tens of thousands of I/O (8192 and more)

• Multiple CPU capability adds open ended system performance and flexibility

• High performance program execution gives scan times on the order of microseconds

• Embraces contemporary network technologies such as 100 Mbit Ethernet, open systems such as CC-Link, DeviceNet and Profibus, and Internet capabilities

• Reduces cost of ownership via remote maintenance and system management capabilities

• Multiple program capability allows concurrent development code reuse, better program organization and faster troubleshooting for less downtime

• High productivity development tools permit designers to concentrate on the application, not the configuration of the controller

• Advanced process control capabilities allow some smaller DCS applications to be addressed by Q Series at a fraction of the cost of a full DCS

• Control up to 96 axes of motion directly from the Q Series rack with no intervening motion control modules via Mitsubishi Electric’s high performance SSCNET motion network technology

• Use a standalone PC CPU running Visual Basic® or Visual C++® to implement a fully PC based control application, or combine the PC with other CPU’s to add third party PC applications to an industrial shop floor system

• Redundant CPU option offers maximum process reliability for zero downtime requirements

• Extremely compact size saves panel costs

• Fully certified to UL, cUL, CE and selected shipping approval standards

Q series offers a feature that rivals those of costly DCS system as a fraction of tehcost. Q series is adept at the automation of process systems with the simple addition of one or more process CPUs to the controller.
