August 21, 2013 – Mitsubishi upgrades MELSEC-L Programmable Controllerswith controllers, network, power supply, and I/O modulesfor more scalable machines and allows users to customize hardware configurations to align with system requirements. Key benefits of the newest L Series offerings:
- Addresses the exact program memory requirements of the specific application with new L06CPU and L26CPU controllers.
- Offers the flexibility to expand network architecture.
- Occupies less space within the control panel as the power supply module is 35 percent thinner than before.
- Minimizes space utilization and facilitates troubleshooting and maintenance by combining I/O on digital modules and analog modules.
In addition to 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T communication, the new L Series Ethernet module also supports MODBUS/TCP through a protocol library.
In addition to a number of built-in features, the L Series integrates advanced sequence, motion, temperature, and vision control into a single package, making the new models ideally suited to applications within the food and beverage, packaging, and life sciences industries, including medical R&D, clinical supply, and commercial manufacturing. All models within the L Series product line feature single-CPU architecture with built-in Ethernet and mini-USB interfaces, a SD/SDHC memory card slot for program storage and data logging, and 24 I/O for positioning and high-speed counter functions. The high performance L Series controller also includes a CC-Link V2 master/local station for connection to the open field network.
With their compact size, easy expandability, networking capabilities, and built-in functions, L Series controllers are ideal for stand-alone machines or networked stations in larger applications. The L Series is fully supported by Mitsubishi Electric’s iQ Works software suite.
