Key Features & Capabilities
-
Compact and Integrated Design:Â As a standalone CPU, it requires a main base unit to house both the CPU and the required I/O modules, allowing for a tailored system configuration.
-
Sufficient Performance for Basic Applications: With an 8K-step program capacity and a fast 0.10 µs instruction processing speed, it is well-suited for:
-
Simple machine control
-
Packaging machinery
-
Small-scale material handling systems
-
Standalone process stations
-
-
High System Expandability:Â Despite being an entry-level model, it belongs to the MELSEC-Q family. This allows you to use a wide range of Mitsubishi’s extensive I/O modules, special function modules (analog, temperature, positioning), and network modules (CC-Link, Ethernet) on the same base, providing future-proofing.
-
Robust and Reliable:Â Built to industrial standards, it offers high noise immunity and stable operation in demanding industrial environments.
-
Standard Programming Environment: Programmed using Mitsubishi’s GX Works2 or the older GX Developer software, which offers programming languages like Ladder Diagram (LD), Structured Text (ST), and Function Block Diagram (FBD).
