Features^{A wide selection of interfaces}

• General interface

• Equipped with interfaces similar to a computer, the system can be easily configured with widely available devices
• Built-in USB ports, two Ethernet ports, RS-232, and HDMI are available, also with CFast™ card and SD memory card for storage are supported

Information processing utilizing Windows® and partner-provided OS

• Utilization of Windows®
• Multiple CPU configuration
• Utilization of development assets
• Utilization of Linux®

• Utilizing the familiar Windows® assets in the office, information processing such as control data calculation/processing and data exchange with a computer are possible
• The module, which is incorporated into the multiple CPU configuration, can easily add functions utilizing Windows® to the existing equipment
• Easy-to-understand development environment such as Microsoft® Visual Basic® and Visual C#® as well as existing development assets can be utilized
• Ubuntu, a partner-provided OS that runs on the MELSECWinCPU module, allows users to leverage the latest information technologies developed by communities, thereby reducing development time.

IT system is easily configured utilizing pre-installed functions

• Easy IT system configuration

• The IT system on the production site can be configured using Microsoft® Visual Studio® development environment
• The MELSECWinCPU module can easily communicate with the programmable controller system by using pre-installed functions (C Controller module dedicated functions and MELSEC communication functions)
• A computer is no longer necessary in the production site, therefore eliminating any issues of LAN installation

On-site development reduces risk of data breach

• Robust security

• Due to growing security concern, it is becoming increasingly difficult to bring computers to the production site. The MELSECWinCPU module is an excellent alternative to a computer
• Installing the MELSECWinCPU module in the control panel can reduce the risk of technology and data theft as well as virus invasion
• When the engineering software is installed and a keyboard, mouse and display are connected, urgent maintenance is easily handled

Cutting-edge information processing technology

Utilize IoT information processing technology

The C Controller pre-installed with Ubuntu provided by Lineo Solutions, Inc. realizes utilization of extensive information processing technology. Ubuntu communities are actively working to update software packages. Extensive software packages are provided for free, allowing utilization of new information technology.
