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

MX-F is an integrated controller that combines sequence control, motion control, and network functions in a single compact unit powered by a high-performance multi-core MPU. It is fully compatible with MELSEC iQ-F series modules, enabling flexible systems with support for up to 16 axes.

The MX series (including MX-F and the high-end MX-R) is focused on digital transformation (DX), emphasizing precise motion synchronization, cybersecurity, and seamless IoT/SCADA integration.

Key Features

• Design: Compact, compatible with iQ-F base units; DIN-rail mounting, built-in 16 inputs / 16 outputs (sourcing/sinking), expandable to 512 I/O points.

• 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 16 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 512 I/O points, multi-CPU (PLC + motion + safety), positioning for up to 16 axes; full compatibility with iQ-F modules (power, I/O, servo), adapters, and intelligent modules.

• 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).

Applications

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

• 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.

• Small Machinery: Device automation requiring compactness and speed.

Advantages of MELSEC MX-F Series

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

• Flexibility: Mixed cycles, reuse of iQ-F assets (up to 80% compatibility), scalable from base to 512 I/O.

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

• Compatibility: Program migration from iQ-F/FX, 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.
