Features - Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC Q Series User Manual

1.2

Features

(1) High-speed processing of large-volume, complicated operation
MELSEC-Q series devices can be controlled by more complex and high-speed processing than the existing
programmable controller CPU.
A large-volume data can be handled, so that the system which has increased the data, can be processed
smoothly.
(2) Reduction of programming cost
(a) Utilization of created C programs
Since the user programs can be created using the existing programs, the costs such as system configuration,
educational expenses for engineers, and engineering costs can be reduced.
• The user programs created with C or C++ language can be used.
• The desired operating system can be selected.
(b) Data can be accessed easily using dedicated interface
Since the data such as memory or devices can be accessed by using dedicated libraries, drivers, or tools, the
programming cost for communication or maintenance can be reduced.
• Devices and memory of the modules can be accessed easily by using the function provided by the library.
• The desired data can be refreshed by setting the condition with the tool, without creating a program.
• Settings, diagnostics, and monitoring can be performed by the tool.
(3) Increasing security, and accelerating a non-PC environment
Since C Controller module supports the wide variety of network device, the appropriate system can be configured
depending on the scale or purpose of the system.
By separating the network between the device and upper server network, the lower devices are incorporated and
the productivity can be improved by protecting the system with the external errors or unauthorized access.
The management cost can be reduced because the devices can be monitored from the remote site via network.
An error can be identified quickly without a personal computer because the status of the device can be diagnosed
primarily with LED in front of the device or the general-purpose analog RGB display.
