MELSEC iQ-R Series
Extensive data handling from shop floor to business process systems
With ever-changing manufacturing trends, production data management, analysis, and planning are more mainstream helping to realize leaner operations, improve yield, and create a more efficient supply chain. The MELSEC iQ-R Series includes the MES interface, C Controller and C intelligent function, high-speed data logger, and high-speed data communication modules as part of the “Intelligence” lineup of interconnected advanced information products.
C/C++ based programming
Flexibility
Based on the Arm® Cortex®-A9 dual-core processor, the real-time OS VxWorks® C Controller CPU is ideal for high-end analytical requirements where raw data has to be processed, such as for in-line manufacturing quality testing. The C intelligent function module, based on the same processor, is a versatile programmable module that can be used for installing industry-specific communications protocols; for example, plant-wide monitoring of wind power generation farms, building automation and industrial open fieldbus networks.
High-speed production data collection
Data collection
The high-speed data logger and high-speed data communication modules enable data collection and conversion for easier processing on a computer. Less program development time realizes quick implementation.
Connectivity with database servers and cloud services
Information connection
The MES interface module realizes direct access to the IT system with easy setting. Overall system cost is reduced as gateway computers are not required. The C intelligent function module supports Debian GNU/Linux, realizing third-party cloud services connection. Predictive and remote maintenance of machines are easily realized.
