1.1 Outline of the MELSEC iQ-F Series
Designed on the concepts of outstanding performance, superior drive control and user centric programming, Mitsubishi
Electric MELSEC-F Series has been reborn as the MELSEC iQ-F Series.
From stand alone use to networked system applications, MELSEC iQ-F Series brings your business to the next level of
industry.
Outstanding Performance
CPU Performance
A new sequence execution engine is at the core of MELSEC iQ-F, capable of running structured programs and multiple
programs, and supports structured text and function blocks, etc.
High-speed System Bus Communication
The MELSEC iQ-F realizes high-speed CPU and high-speed system bus communication. This enables maximum
performance even when using an intelligent function module with large amounts of data.
Security
MELSEC iQ-F has advanced security functions (file password, remote password, security key) to prevent data theft and illegal
operations by unauthorized persons.
Superior Drive Control
Built-in Positioning
The MELSEC iQ-F features positioning functionality with CPU module built-in pulse output
*1
and up to 8 axes of high-speed
pulse input/output modules
*2
. Positioning operations including interrupt, variable speed, and simple interpolation*2 can easily
be set up in tables and executed.
*1 FX5UJ CPU module: Up to 3 axes
FX5S/FX5U/FX5UC CPU module: Up to 4 axes
*2 Only FX5U/FX5UC CPU module is supported.
Simple Motion Module
By connecting the Simple Motion module equipped with positioning function compatible with SSCNET/H, and combining
linear interpolation, 2-axis circular interpolation, and continuous trajectory control in the program set by table method, a
smooth trajectory can be easily drawn.
By starting with parameter settings and the PLC program, the Simple Motion modules can realize a variety of motion control
including positioning control, advanced synchronous control, cam control and speed-torque control.
Predefined protocol support for positioning
Only by simply setting the system configuration, MELSEC iQ-F
*1
and IAI ROBO Cylinder can be connected by MODBUS RTU
connection to perform the positioning operation without considering transmission and reception of the communication
command.
*1 Only FX5U/FX5UC CPU module is supported.
