Concept

The MELSEC MX Controller is a series of controllers that integrates three types of control, sequence, motion, and network.
The MELSEC MX Controller has two models: MX-R model and MX-F model.
A diversified and sophisticated system can be constructed by using the MX-R models with the MELSEC iQ-R Series modules.

One controller for all your control needs

Decades of expertise in programmable controller technology have been combined into a single controller.
By integrating sequence control, motion control, and network control on the MELSEC MX Controller platform, faster and more accurate control is achieved.
We will continue to add functionality to this platform, making it adaptable to a wide range of applications.

Equipped with a high-performance multi-core MPU as standard, enabling high-speed control

All functions of sequence, motion, and network are integrated. The motion control performance is about 10 times^*1 higher than existing products of Mitsubishi Electric, achieving high-speed and highaccuracy motion control.

• *1:Comparison with the MELSEC iQ-R Series (64-axis control)
• *2:Device stations supporting connections to 253 stations will be available in the future. For details, refer to the Technical Bulletin (FA-A-0451).
• *3:When the motion operation cycle setting is 1.5 ms

One controller for various applications and roles

• The MX Controller, equipped with a high-performance multi-core MPU, integrates sequence, motion, and network control, achieving high-speed and high-accuracy motion control and precise sequence control.
• Essential CC-Link IE TSN technology for large-scale equipment.
• With one controller, operation and communication cycles can be set.

Optimizing control performance of entire system

With one MELSEC MX Controller, up to three different operation and communication cycles can be set for each axis and device station.
There is no need for multiple CPU modules. This greatly improves the cost efficiency of your equipment.
Even for multi-axis machines, the control performance at high-speed operation cycles can be partially secured, improving accuracy in processes such as cutting.

Seamless connection to various devices

• Built-in CC-Link IE TSN enables motion control for up to 256 axes.
  High-speed and high-accuracy synchronization control is achieved at 125 μs maximum.
• The OPC UA server function is included as standard.
  One MELSEC MX Controller can communicate with the IT system and with OPC UA-compatible programmable controllers in a production line.

• *1Future support
• *2The multi-axis servo amplifier can control multiple axes with one station occupied.(The number of virtual axes is not included in the number of controllable axes.)
• *3Device stations supporting connections to 253 stations will be available in the future. For details, refer to the Technical Bulletin (FA-A-0451).
• *4Only the servo can execute motion control.

Protect equipment and assets

• Prevent eavesdropping and unauthorized access with encrypted communication and user authentication for both OT and IT environments, safeguarding your assets and preventing machine malfunctions.
• The MELSEC MX Controller complies with IEC 62443-4-2, the security standard for protecting control systems from cyberattacks.
• The controller detects program tampering at startup, preventing the execution of unauthorized programs.
