The MELSEC iQ-F Series is a line of compact programmable logic controllers (PLCs) from Mitsubishi Electric, designed for automation of small and medium-sized machines and systems. These controllers combine high performance, compact design, and integration with modern IoT technologies, making them an ideal solution for industries such as packaging, material handling, food processing, water supply, and printing. The series evolved from the classic MELSEC-F, offering an improved high-speed bus interface, expanded built-in functions, and support for SSCNET III/H for precise motion control.
