| MELSEC-F | Classic compact controller | Integrated power supply, CPU, and I/O; highly cost-effective | Simple logic control, small machinery |
Main Features and Functions
Mitsubishi PLC CPU modules share the following common technical characteristics:
-
High-Speed Processing Capability: The basic instruction processing speed of the iQ-R series can reach 0.98 ns (e.g., R04CPU), the L series can reach 9.5 ns, and the iQ-F series is 34 ns, meeting the real-time requirements of high-speed production lines and precision control.
-
Flexible Memory Capacity: Program capacity ranges from 10K steps for entry-level iQ-R models to 1200K steps for process CPUs. Users can choose flexibly according to system scale.
-
Rich Built-in Functions: Modern CPU modules generally include a built-in Ethernet port, USB interface, and SD memory card slot. Some models also integrate analog I/O, high-speed counters, and positioning functions, reducing the need for additional modules.
-
Dedicated CPU Expansion: For specific needs, Mitsubishi offers dedicated modules such as process CPUs (for advanced PID loop control), safety CPUs (compliant with ISO 13849-1 PL e / IEC 61508 SIL 3), and motion CPUs (controlling up to 32 axes).

Application Areas
Mitsubishi PLC CPU modules are widely used in various industrial automation scenarios:
-
Manufacturing: Production line control in automotive, semiconductor, electronics, packaging, food and beverage, and other industries.
-
Process Industries: Process monitoring and PID control in chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and other industries. The iQ-R process CPU can simultaneously perform advanced PID and high-speed sequence control.
-
Infrastructure: Redundant control systems for social infrastructure such as water treatment, power, and transportation.
-
Machine Control: Equipment requiring high-speed positioning and motion control, such as machine tools, injection molding machines, and textile machinery.
Overall, Mitsubishi Electric offers a comprehensive selection of PLC CPU modules through the MELSEC series. The iQ-R is aimed at high-performance and large-scale systems, the iQ-F and L series focus on compactness and integration, the Q series provides multi-CPU cooperation capability, and the F series focuses on economy and practicality. When selecting a model, comprehensive consideration should be given to the project's specific requirements for processing speed, program capacity, built-in functions, and special control (process, safety, motion).
