 Maintenance
Reduce maintenance costs and downtime
utilizing easier maintenance features
A manufacturing plant is seldom stopped or taken offline and continuously produces
the desired product or component. However, the control system occasionally
requires maintenance; for example, at the time of a faulty product or system upgrade
for manufacturing a new or updated component. At that time, thanks to the extensive
maintenance functions embedded in the hardware and software, the user can trust
the control system to handle transition into/out of the maintenance period for both
preventive and post maintenance.

 Security
Robust security that can be relied on
As technology becomes more complex and the distribution of manufacturing systems more
global, the protection of intellectual property is even more significant. When shipping a
finished product overseas, the last thing an OEM needs to consider is unauthorized copying
or changing of the original project data. In addition to this, unauthorized access to the control
system can have very serious implications to the control system and the end user, which can
compromise the overall safety of the plant.

The MELSEC iQ-R Series has a number of embedded features that

help to maintain these requirements, such as hardware and software Mitsubishi Electric PAC MELSEC iQ-R
keys to protect intellectual property, and multi-level user access "Security" Movie

password hierarchy to protect the project at the design stage.

Powerful security features protecting intellectual property

Security key authentication protecting project data
The security key authentication prevents programs from
being opened on personal computers where the security
key has not been registered. Furthermore, because
programs cannot be executed by CPU modules where
the security key has not been registered, the integrity of
customer technologies and other intellectual property is not
compromised. The security key can also be registered on
an extended SRAM cassette. Therefore, when replacing the
CPU module, there is no need to re-register the security key,
making replacement very simple.

Extended SRAM cassette

Prevent unauthorized access across the network

The IP filter can be used to register the IP addresses
of devices permitted to access the CPU module. As
a result, access from non-registered devices can be
blocked, thereby lowering the risk of program hacking
Ethernet and unauthorized access by a third party.
Another feature is a remote password function for
password-based security. Passwords of up to 32
characters can be set to prevent unauthorized access
to the CPU module via networks such as Ethernet.

 Compatibility
Extensive compatibility
with existing products
Whenever introducing a new system or technology into an existing manufacturing
plant or control system, utilization of existing assets as much as feasibly possible is a
mandatory requirement with today’s manufacturing needs. The MELSEC iQ-R Series
addresses these subtle but substantial needs with various system hardware support
and engineering project compatibility to achieve an easy path to higher
technology and improved performance capabilities.

 Highly accurate synchronization
The MELSEC iQ-R Series system provides highly accurate synchronization between modules on the control
system, which is realized through inter-modular synchronization. Additionally, use of the CC-Link IE Field Network
realizes network-level synchronization, providing node-level synchronization that ensures deterministic data flow
void of any influence from data transmission delays. This is ideal for applications such as "cutting and folding"
inside an offset printer, which requires synchronization between the printing quality sensor, high-speed rotary
cutter, folding roller and conveyor.

At the core of the MELSEC iQ-R Series is a programmable controller CPU. This CPU is the heart of the control
system and includes various features for different applications. The most common CPU is the programmable
controller CPU, into which various features are embedded, enabling it to perform a wide range of control tasks.
The different CPUs are highly scalable with five types available, based on program capacity needs (10K to 1200K
steps). In addition, a CC-Link IE embedded CPU is available, further reducing hardware costs as a separate
network module is not required.

Built-in hardware features

Programmable controller CPUs are equipped with a built-in USB port (high-speed Ver. 2.0 Mini-B) and an Ethernet
port (up to 100 Mbps) as standard, enabling connection to a general LAN network*1 or MELSOFT software.
Two memory options are included as well, an external SRAM cassette that enables device/label memory to be
increased and doubling up as a hardware security key, and an SD memory card which can be used for logging
data, troubleshooting device values or as a memory database for recipe storage.
*1: General LAN connection supported by the Ethernet port only.

27
Flexible, large-capacity data storage
The MELSEC iQ-R Series programmable controller CPU is designed to allow an external SRAM cassette to
be installed directly into the CPU module. This option makes it possible to increase internal device memory to
an impressive 5786K words, expanding device/label memory even further. An SD memory card can be used
at the same time, expanding data logging memory and the capacity of the internal database, which is ideal for
large-scale systems. In general, management of programmable controller internal data is quite flexible, making
programming even easier by allowing various data area allocations to be changed within the CPU memory and
SRAM cassette.

Data management utilizing internal database (DB)

I/O
The CPU includes an internal database that can be installed into the SD memory card. This feature allows, for
example, a selection of database commands that can add/delete/change records to be utilized for simple recipe
functions. It is also much easier to import/export Unicode files for use in spreadsheets. Accessing the CPU internal
database data from a computer equipped with Microsoft® Access® or Excel® is also supported. The CPU internal

High-speed, event driven programs

Further improvements to CPU performance have resulted in the interval time between event driven programs
(interrupt programs) reduced to 50 us. This has been realized by having multiple event driven programs able
to be nested within other event driven programs and being triggered from already executing programs. This
kind of performance is available with a standard input module and programmable controller CPU, without
requiring a dedicated interrupt type input module, which helps to further reduce hardware costs while realizing a
high-precision control system.

CPU program management data

Operation and system historical events are automatically recorded in the CPU module, allowing quick root cause
analysis of system errors or management of program changes. Actual changes to the program, parameters
and system errors are viewable using GX Works3 or can be exported as a CSV file for use by other third-party
software.

View operations and system events with corresponding Corresponding explanatory text
event/error codes, data can be sorted according to
various attributes.

29
Intuitive root cause analysis
When the SD memory card is installed, device data is saved automatically to the SD memory at the time of
system failure. This data is useful for investigating the cause of the failure, enabling various data collected before
and during the event to be analyzed. The data can be used in a situation such as when the origin of a machine is
different than where the machine was actually being used, and the data can simply be sent by e-mail (for example)
as a data file for analysis.

High-speed data communication between CPUs
High-speed communication is realized between the two CPUs via a large bandwidth data buffer memory
exchange. There are two types of buffer memory for data exchange: one that provides cyclic exchange at a cycle
time as fast as 0.222 ms; and one for direct data exchange of event-driven buffer memory, which is useful for large
data bandwidth requirements. High-speed communications are very useful when there is a need to instantaneously
transfer a large amount of information such as cam data, thereby simplifying programming even further.

The C Controller module is part of the application-specific range in the MELSEC iQ-R Series. The multi-core
ARM®-based controller pre-installed with VxWorks® Version 6.9, realizes the simultaneous execution of programs,
thereby providing a robust and deterministic alternative to computer based systems. Utilizing a fan-less hardware
design, the C Controller is ideal for clean fab-based applications where dust circulation can be detrimental to
the production environment. The C Controller utilizes the high-performance, flexible, and robust features of the

Easy setup using three simple tools

Setup of the C Controller couldn’t be simpler as the CPU is shipped with a pre-installed real-time OS with various
drivers embedded. This eliminates the need to setup and install a separate OS and develop drivers, which can
substantially add to the cost of implementation. The C Controller allows C language programming by using
CW Workbench programming software, easy configuration using MELSOFT CW Configurator, and VxWorks®
emulation using CW-Sim.

Simple wiring and high-density I/O

Software

I/O modules are available in a wide range of densities (16-, 32- and 64-points) depending on the I/O requirements
and minimum use of space in the control cabinet. A module with a 40-pin connector is available for high-density
I/O wiring. The terminal block and spring clamp terminal block are interchangeable with MELSEC-Q Series I/O
terminals and can save on the cost of upgrading from existing control systems.

Digital input modules like the 24 V direct-current (DC) power supply are among the most used input signals in the
control industry. The robust design of the various modules in this diversified lineup makes them ideal for industrial use.

Multiple features integrated

A single MELSEC iQ-R input module can handle input response devices as fast as 0.1 ms, interrupt input devices
and can be wired using either positive or negative (sink or source) common terminals. Since multiple modules are
no longer required, a substantial reduction in overall footprint of up to 20% and a reduction in total system costs of
up to 60% can be realized.

Reduce downtime with disconnection detection
Similar to analog modules, the MELSEC iQ-R Series input module (with diagnostic functions) includes input
disconnection detection which enables detection of inputs directly on the I/O module. When an error occurs, the
control system can quickly highlight the fault via a monitoring system or on GX Works3 programming software,
reducing system downtime and loss of production.

A variety of digital output modules are available including relay, transistor sink (wired as positive common) and
transistor source (wired as negative common). Load voltages include 240 V AC and 12 V to 24 V DC, with various
current ratings.

Relay health diagnostics for preventive maintenance

Output modules (relay output and transistor-with diagnostic functions modules) keep track of how many times
they're turned on and off. Utilizing this data, such as from embedded relay contacts in the relay output module
or from relays connected externally to the transistor output module (with diagnostic functions), preventive
maintenance can be carried out based on the known service of the relay.

Input Output

Similar to the digital I/O modules, analog modules are the main interface between the control process and the
MELSEC iQ-R Series automation system. The main differences are that they have been designed to interface with
sensors that process varying voltage and current signals instead of digital binary signals, and convert those signals
into binary data that the control system can use. The MELSEC iQ-R Series range of analog modules includes
features such as high-speed sampling (5 μs/4CH) coupled with 16 bit high-resolution (1/32,000) digital output
signals, simultaneous multi-channel conversion (no. of channels increased with inter-modular synchronization),
galvanic channel isolation and disconnection detection, thereby enabling highly precise and stable analog signal
processing.

High-frequency noise filtering
The analog modules include a first-order delay filter that eliminates high-frequency noise interference and improves
the accuracy of input analog signals. This feature can be easily setup using the module's dedicated parameters,
thereby improving the processing time as an additional setup program (ladder) is not required.

Data logging faster than scan time

Analog modules are equipped with a data logging feature that's useful when a large amount of data (up to 10k
points) is required within a specified period of time. Coupled with the high-speed analog-to-digital conversion time,
event-driven triggers enable continuous logging even after an event occurrence and fast data logging sampling
that is asynchronous to the control scan time. Data logging can be used in applications such as a motor inspection
line, where motor performance can be logged at high speed and certain values such as voltage, current, torque
and rotational speed analyzed through comparisons with different test patterns.

wide range of application requirements, such as high-speed drive control or variable-speed control of the pressure
applied to materials being fed into some kind of forming mechanism.

Faster, smoother predefined wave signal output

The analog output module enables pre-registration of waveforms easily using MELSOFT GX Works3, realizing a
smoother continuous output that closely matches the precision required for the application, such as torque control
for a press or injection molding machine. Registering the waveform in the module is simple and easy, and does
not require a dedicated analog output program, such as for continuous line control, further reducing programming
time.

MELSEC iQ-R Series temperature control modules are ideal for applications requiring highly stable and responsive
temperature control. The series comes with thermocouple and RTD input module types and are available with or
without heater disconnection detection.

Controlled heating minimizes distortion in heating profile

Temperature fluctuations are attenuated at high speed through the external disturbance suppression function.
This enables the preset temperature value to be maintained, ensuring a uniform heating profile not influenced
by heating variations in the work. Due to its high-speed response capabilities, this function can be used in
applications such as packaging machine sealing, injection molding, and for wafer plates in semiconductor
manufacturing machines.

Software-based synchronous control can be used as an alternative to mechanical control, such as gear, shaft,
transmission and cam. In addition, cam control is even easier with cam auto-generation. Synchronous control can
be simply operated (start/stop) for each axis, allowing synchronous and positional control axes within the same
program.

Realize helical interpolation
For applications that require the boring of deep, large holes, usually multiple interpolation control of three axes (X,
Y and Z) or more must be taken into consideration. In such cases, the actual milling is done in a circle, with the
X and Y axes synchronized to achieve the pre-set size. The depth of the hole is simultaneously controlled along
the Z axis, ensuring minimal deviation in the cutting bit position. This type of positioning is usually quite difficult as
the interpolation of the three axes can introduce some deviation when not utilizing a full-scale numerical control
system.

RD40PD01
Input:12 points, output:14 points

The flexible high-speed I/O control module includes features such as the ability to program control logic and
microsecond-fast asynchronous I/O response times to the programmable controller CPU and control bus, realizing
stable machine performance minimizing processing speed fluctuation. Equipped with a field programmable gate
array (FPGA), easy hardware logic design using the dedicated tool reduces development cost.

High-speed, stable I/O response

The flexible high-speed I/O control module provides highly accurate control of I/O timing owing to the
asynchronous execution of internal control logic to the CPU and control bus. Variation in processing time is
reduced to nanoseconds, thereby enabling sensors such as proximity lasers to trigger vision cameras accurately,
which is required in product testing equipment in order to capture products moving at high-speed.
Trigger input timing is adjustable to a minimum of 25 ns resolution.

FPGA logic design enables more freedom in customization

Equipped with a FPGA, control logic can be programmed easily using GX Works3. This low-cost alternative to
HDL programming, logic synthesis and timing analysis reduces the design process, which is a common feature of
general FPGA logic design.

Distributed control or redundant system can be easily realized

◼ Wiring and space saving distributed control system
Realize a highly scalable distributed control system by combining with various I/O and intelligent function modules.

◼ Remote station with redundant head modules and network

Network system reliability can be improved by installing redundant head modules and redundant network cables;
even if an error occurs in one of the head modules, the network standby module can take over without disrupting
network communications and initiates the control system to switch to the standby system. In addition, if one of the
head modules is replaced, the settings and parameters are automatically transferred to the standby module and
re-initialized.
