Responding to industry demand for integrated machine and plant control, the iQ-R series incorporates sequence, motion, safety, process and C language control into one platform. The control platform is for applications requiring integrated motion and safety control, tight synchronization between various processes and high production throughput. Applications include automotive, food and beverage, material handling, life sciences, and electronics manufacturing industries.
The integrated design allows machines or production lines to consolidate control in one rack. The system can have up to 4 CPUs per rack for various combinations of motion, sequence or process control.
Key features include:
- 0.98 nsec execution speed
- high-speed bus
- GX Works3 programming software with built-in functions and configuration screens
- CC-Link IE field network with deterministic performance over industrial Ethernet
- built-in SD memory card database
This scalable control fits many application needs, whether it involves coordinated motion, integrated safety, C language programming or PID control. It easily integrates with other automation products such as the GOT2000 series HMI and MR-J4 series amplifiers through pre-created templates and function blocks. A machine designed on the iQ-R series is set up for synchronization at every level—among PLCs, I/O modules and network stations for fast, reliable PLC performance.
The clean control design allows communication between controllers across the backplane, eliminating the need for complex wiring that can add points of error. It also offers a variety of security features to protect intellectual property and ensure system integrity, including a security key feature to prevent unauthorized execution of OEMs’ programs.
