The MELSEC MX-R controller is a new model in the MELSEC MX Controller series, launched by Mitsubishi Electric in August 2025 as the next generation for high-precision automation.

MX-R is an integrated controller that combines sequence control, motion control, and network functions in a single device powered by a high-performance multi-core MPU. It is fully compatible with MELSEC iQ-R series modules, enabling complex systems with support for up to 256 axes. The MX series (including MX-R and the compact MX-F) is focused on digital transformation (DX), emphasizing precise motion synchronization, cybersecurity, and seamless integration with IoT/SCADA.

Key Features

• Design: Modular, compatible with iQ-R base units; DIN-rail mounting, built-in CC-Link IE TSN Ethernet for seamless communication.

• Performance: Multi-core MPU, mixed operation cycles, high processing speed (up to 2× faster than previous models); scan cycle down to 0.1 ms, motion control for up to 256 axes.

• Programming: Ladder logic, SFC, FBD via MELSOFT iQ Works / GX Works3; IEC 61131-3 compliant, integrated with simulators.

• Interfaces: Built-in 1 Gbps Ethernet with TSN, OPC UA server (client in future updates), RS-485/USB, CC-Link IE; supports Modbus TCP, PROFINET.

• Expansion: Up to 4096 I/O points, multi-CPU (PLC + motion + safety), positioning for up to 256 axes; full compatibility with existing iQ-R modules (power, I/O, servo).

• Environmental Durability: Temperature 0…55 °C (optional –25…70 °C), humidity 5–95% RH (non-condensing), vibration 5.3 m/s², shock 300 m/s².

• Standards: CE, UL, RoHS, IEC 61131-2; progressing toward IEC 62443-4-2 (cybersecurity).

Main Models

• MXR500: Up to 256 axes, for complex systems (EV manufacturing, robotics); program memory up to 32 MB.

• MXR300: Up to 64 axes, balanced performance and scalability; for packaging/electronics.

Applications

• Manufacturing: Packaging lines, conveyors, traceability, high-precision dosing.

• Automotive & EV: Synchronization of up to 256 axes for assembly and battery testing.

• Electronics: Precision positioning, pick-and-place, integration with vision systems.

• Food Industry: Recipe management, hygienic motion control, data logging.

• Robotics: Multi-axis control, integration with MR-J5 servo drives.

• Energy & IT: PID control, redundancy, SQL/SCADA connectivity for DX.

Advantages of MELSEC MX-R Series

• High Performance: Integrated sequence/motion/network — up to 2× faster than iQ-R, minimal multi-axis latency (0.1 ms).

• Flexibility: Mixed cycles, reuse of iQ-R assets (up to 80% compatibility), scalable from 64 to 256 axes.

• Cybersecurity: Built-in firewall, 32-character password, progress toward IEC 62443-4-2, secure OPC UA for DX.

• Compatibility: Program migration from iQ-R/Q, integration with HMI (GOT), servo (MR-J5), and simulators.

• Reliability: MTBF >2 million hours, redundancy, fanless design, interference protection.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Fast ROI through integration (one software for all), low TCO, free updates.

• Ease of Use: Intuitive software, USB commissioning, simulation support for rapid deployment.
