MELSEC MX Controller - MX-R model

High-performance control platform for large-scale systems

The MELSEC MX Controller (MX-R model) integrates three types of
control on one platform:

Sequence

Sequence

Motion

Motion

Network

MX Controller

MX-R enables diversified and sophisticated system construction by
combining with MELSEC iQ-R Series modules.

Its platform will continue to expand functionality, making it adaptable to a wide range of applications and manufacturing scales.

MX-R Controller Concept

High-performance control architecture with multi-core MPU

Motion control performance is approximately 10 times*1 higher than previous Mitsubishi Electric products.

High-speed control

Outstanding accuracy

Efficient multi-axis synchronization

Technical notes:

  • *1 Compared with the MELSEC iQ-R Series (64-axis control).
  • *2 Support for connections to 253 stations will be available in the future. For details, refer to Technical Bulletin FA-A-0451.
  • *3 Performance values are based on a motion operation cycle setting of 1.5 ms.

MX-R model details

The MX-R model is ideal for production lines requiring high performance,
sophisticated system architecture, and long-term scalability.

System configuration example - MX-R model

The MX-R model can be configured with:

Multi-axis Servo Amplifier

Network CC-Link IE TSN

HMI (GOT)

Distributed I/O

Other external devices

Technical notes

  • *1 Some functions will be supported in future updates.
  • *2 Multi-axis servo amplifiers can control multiple axes with one station occupied.
  • *3 Support for connections to 253 stations will be available in future updates (FA-A-0451).
  • *4 Motion control functions apply only to servo systems.
