Mitsubishi Electric logic controller / Compact PLC / Modular PLC
Mitsubishi Electric PLCs are simple to use. We have reduced many complex actions to a single instruction, making our PLCs much easier to program.
Reliable
We design and build our PLCs to the highest international standards gaining many marine and other special approvals in the process. We do this as part of our drive to supply the best quality products possible.
A prime example of Mitsubishi Electric quality is the widespread use of our components in the global auto industry, where zero tolerance of product failure is fast becoming the norm.
Logic controllers
These Mitsubishi Electric products are called ALPHA controllers. They are small compact units with input/output (I/O), CPU, memory, power supply and HMI built into a single unit. The units are programmed with a very intuitive Function Block-style programming tool (AL-PCS/ WIN).
Compact PLCs
Compact PLCs are widely used in applications ranging from machine control to networked systems. Mitsubishi Electric’s famous FX3 and FX5 range of PLCs are some of the most popular compact PLCs on the market, as demonstrated by sales of over 17 million controllers worldwide. Compact PLCs contain I/O, CPU, memory and power supply in a single unit. Moreover, it can extend its capabilities by selecting different options such as I/O, analogue, temperature control, positioning and simple motion. One of the most popular additions is a networking connection. Network options can include Ethernet, Profibus DP, CC-Link, DeviceNetTM as well as CANopen and SAE J1939.
Modular PLCs
Modular controllers like Mitsubishi Electric’s MELSEC L series, iQ-R series and MELSEC System Q are high-performance PLC systems with broad functionality. The range, power and function of these high-end PLCs is impressive, with operation times measured in nanoseconds. They are equipped with a separate power supply, CPU, I/O and special options mounted on a backplane. Additional backplanes can be added as the system expands. Their modular architecture makes it easy to configure these controllers for any task. Modular PLCs comprise a power supply, one or more CPU modules and I/O and/ or special function modules. These special function modules include analogue, communications and network modules and a special MES interface. A Web server module is also available for Internet access. The CPU comes with an integrated Ethernet port for easy access to this standard network.
Mitsubishi Electric inverters and drives
