HMI Operator Interface Terminals
Mitsubishi offers three families of HMI products.The GOT1000 platform is an all new and evolutionary family of high performance Graphical Operator Terminals (GOT).
The F900 GOT Series of Graphical Operator Terminals(GOT) is a cost-effective line of touch screen displays feature widescreen and hand-held options. The E1000 Series is an all new family of high performance, high functionality and flexible panel-mount HMI terminals. This family of terminals offers a comprehensive list of features and functions to uniquely bridge the gap between high-end SCADA systems and dedicated HMIs.
Servo Motion Control
Mitsubishi's offers a wide range of Servo Motion capabilities. The MR-J3 has raised the bar for servo speed and performance with a capacity range of 50W to 55kW, we reduced the size of both the amplifier and motor, added a high resolution encoder and advanced auto-tuning and vibration control. With even higher positioning accuracy and responsiveness, the MR-E Super is an excellent choice for applications ranging from 100W to 2kW. The MR-J2-JR supports the following control methods: Position, Speed, Torque, SSCNET Network, Built-In Motion, and RS-485 Multi Drop.
Variable Frequency Drives
Mitsubishi offer a wide range of Variable Frequency Drives, from the cost-cost effective variable speed control solution for general purpose applications to the the A700,a high performance drive that features many of the special technologies originally developed for Mitsubishi Electric servo drive products, such as adaptive auto-tuning that automatically compensates for changes in load inertia. The result is smoother operation, less downtime and ultimately, lower operating costs. Control modes include Velocity, Torque and Positioning.

PowerGate 66
The PowerGate 66 IP66 / NEMA 4 variable frequency drive (VFD) is Mitsubishi’s introduction to the decentralized drive market.
The stand-alone VFD is an engineered solution incorporating a version of the Mitsubishi Electric E700 VFD into a custom made NEMA 4 (water resistant) enclosure allowing the drive to be placed closer to the motor even in harsh environments.
The PowerGate 66 drive is especially suitable for applications that require precise motor speed control, including conveyors used in food and beverage operations and material handling, and the control of pumps and fans in HVAC and water handling applications, or in any application where the drive is exposed to water and dust.
Beyond its decentralized design, advantages of the PowerGate 66 include its unique keypad and display. The LCD displays information in words, rather than number-based codes, as is the industry norm. And to simplify programming, the keypad has10 buttons laid out similarly to a pocket calculator.
GOT Simple HMI
The new range of GS HMIs from Mitsubishi Electric are a cost-effective series offering a simple and flexible entry-level option for newcomers to the world of machine visualization. Besides all the standard basic functions, it also includes additional ones such as data logging, FA transparent mode and operator authentication.
The FA transparent function allows access to automation components such as PLCs, frequency inverters and servo amplifiers within a system via the HMI. This enables data from connected components to be viewed and parameters or other settings to be adjusted from a central location.*These 7" and 10" panels share a common specification apart from the size of the display.
- 9MB of user memory WVGA 800 x 480 display with LED backlight
- Built-in Ethernet port, RS422, RS-232 ports and USB device port
- Built-in SD card slot
- Vertical display capability
- Operator name and password protection
MELSEC iQ-R Automation Controller
The New Mitsubishi iQ-R series CPU offers dramatic improvements in performance, setting new benchmark standards for processing speed. This not only enables users to realise enhanced system designs, but also provides the basis for significant reduction in hardware costs. At the same time, the iQ-R series offers reductions in development cost, maintenance cost and risk of system failure, while providing an innovative upgrade path that will enable users to take advantage of ongoing developments through software upgrades rather than hardware upgrades.
Internal Database
The CPU includes an internal database that can be installed into the SD memory card. This allows a selection of database commands that can add/ delete/change records to be utilized for simple recipe functions. It is also easy to import/export Unicode files for use in spreadsheets. This is useful where multiple product variations are produced using the same machine process.
High Speed and Synchronization
The iQ-R boasts a high speed system bus for synchronized data communications between multiple CPUs. This improves performance and accuracy, especially for high speed motion control applications.
Enhanced Security Features
iQ-R has a variety of security features to protect intellectual property and plant safety. Engineers can restrict access at the network level using IP filtering, lowering the risk of hacking or any other unauthorized third party access. At the controller level, security key authentication prevents unauthorized access to the program or execution of the CPU.
GOT Mobile - Smart Web-based Remote Solution
The GOT Mobile function improves visualization accessibility and reduces total cost of ownership. The GOT and your mobile devices can communicate directly without using a separate access point. The status of equipment can be monitored remotely with your tablet or smart phone. In addition, you can view maintenance manuals to quickly check error details and find solutions.
You can use your wireless LAN communication unit as an access point by configuring simple settings in screen design software*. The GOT and mobile devices can communicate directly without using a separate access point.
Mitsubishi iQ-R Series Redundant Control System
Highly reliable control easily realized at low cost
Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. has paired its proven iQ-R Series integrated control platform with a redundant function module to create a redundant process control system for applications that require highly reliable control. The iQ-R Series Process CPU/Redundant System is designed specifically for industries such as oil and gas, wastewater and building automation with applications that require near 100 percent uptime to prevent harmful or costly disruptions.
- Redundancy across multiple levels, reducing single-point failures
- High availability at multiple levels for improved system reliability
- Extensive visualization and data acquisition with Mitsubishi Electric SCADA MC Works64
- Easy configuration with GX Works3 integrated engineering software
This high-performing process control solution is also ideal for industries such as chemical or food and beverage that require very precise ingredient mixing and recipe management. Because their numerous production stages require tight synchronization, a disruption in one stage may lead to bottlenecks in others.
The iQ-R Series integrated design allows machines or production lines to consolidate control in one rack. The system can have up to 4 CPUs per rack for any combination of motion, sequence or process control.
