The MELSEC iQ-R Series process CPU modules are specifically designed to cater to a broad range of process control applications, spanning from small-scale to large-scale systems. These modules offer high-speed performance to meet the demands of process control tasks. One notable feature of these modules is their ability to handle large PID loops, thanks to the inclusion of embedded PID control algorithms. This allows for efficient and effective control of processes requiring proportional-integral-derivative control. Furthermore, these modules integrate both general control and process control functionalities within a single module.
This integration streamlines the control system by eliminating the need for separate modules for different control tasks. It enables the consolidation of control functions and simplifies the system architecture. For applications that demand highly reliable control, these process CPU modules can be paired with a redundant function module. This combination allows for the implementation of a redundant control system, ensuring system reliability and minimizing the risk of control failures. Importantly, this redundancy feature is available at a low cost, making it an attractive option for cost-sensitive applications.
The MELSEC iQ-R Series process CPU modules offer a comprehensive solution for process control applications, combining high-speed performance, PID control capabilities, integration of general and process control, and the option for a redundant control system. For specific details on the models and implementation guidelines, it is recommended to refer to the official documentation or consult with the manufacturer or relevant technical experts.
