SYSTEM Q series PLC

The MELSEC SYSTEM Q (or simply MELSEC-Q) is a modular series of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) from Mitsubishi Electric, designed for medium to large automation systems. Developed as a successor to the AnS series, it offers nanosecond-level performance, flexible scalability, and integration with motion control, networks, and PCs. The series remains suitable for complex tasks, but migration to iQ-R is recommended for new projects.
