Will contribute to smart factory construction by enhancing the
company’s e-F@ctory solution with TSN technology
Mitsubishi
Electric Corporation (TOKYO:6503) announced today that it will
release the industry’s first1 102 factory automation
products, including programmable controllers, servo amplifiers, robots,
GOTs (HMIs), inverters and CNCs that are compatible with the CC-Link IE
TSN next-generation industrial open network, starting from May 7.
Integration of machine control and information communication required
for next-generation smart factories will be realized on one network,
further enhancing Mitsubishi Electric’s e-F@ctory integrated
factory automation solution. In addition, high-speed, high-precision
communication will improve machine performance and thereby contribute to
productivity and quality improvement. 1 According to
Mitsubishi Electric research as of March 7, 2019
Product Features
1)Factory automation products support TSN
technology for highly flexible Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
system architecture
Factory automation products offering industry-first compatibility with
CC-Link IE TSN
Separately configured machine control and information communication
can be integrated into one Ethernet cable, helping to reduce system
configuration design and installation costs
Easy parameter registration allows mixing of multiple communication
cycles, such as 1 Gbps and 100 Mbps, enabling easy configuration of
optimum systems
2)High-speed, high-precision communication improves
productivity and quality
With a link scan of 31.25 μs, high-speed processing is 16
times faster compared to existing motion networks, drastically
reducing facility and machine production cycle time for improved
productivity
High-precision synchronous control without communication delay, even
in large-scale systems, realizes highly data analysis in cloud and
edge computing systems, thereby improving quality
3)Engineering tool improves system management
Connected device profile coordination function with CSP+ of MELSOFT GX
Works3 engineering tool manages all connected devices, including
third-party partner products
Graphically displays entire network status to allow network and fault
device diagnosis with intuitive operation, helping to reduce downtime
due to errors
