What is TSN*1?

TSN is a set of international standards, which define the time synchronization method

and the time sharing method. By adding these to Ethernet technology, control

communications (ensuring real time reaction), which cannot be perform with

conventional Ethernet, and information communications (non-realtime communications)

can be performed together.

The CC-Link IE TSN time sharing method enables communications independent of the

number of device stations

The time sharing method used as the communications protocol allows simultaneous input

and output communication between connected stations.

High-speed link scan significantly reduces production cycles. Mixed communication cycles

are also possible, ensuring fast and smooth communication even with many device stations.

Optimizing control performance of entire system

With one MELSEC MX Controller, up to three different operation and communication cycles

can be set for each axis and device station.*1

There is no need for multiple CPU modules. This greatly improves the cost efficiency of your

equipment.

Even for multi-axis machines, the control performance at high-speed operation cycles can

be partially secured, improving accuracy in processes such as cutting.

Core load can be monitored and adjusted for optimal machine control

The performance monitor visualizes the operation cycles and load status for each

core assigned to run the program.

Optimize performance by distributing load through mixed operation cycles based

on visualized load status.

Essential CC-Link IE TSN technology for large-scale equipment

High-speed and high-accuracy coordination with a wide range of devices

With a single MELSEC MX controller, you can build a system that combines real-time

control communication for factory automation equipment with information

communication for IT systems.

Precise mark input and cutting not dependent on scan time

Even in applications that require high-speed I/O control without variability, such as roll-to-roll

control, the MX Controller provides precise I/O over the network that is not dependent on the

scan time. Minimized jitter in the I/O timing of mark detection and cutting reduces variations

in web material detection and cut length. This improves yield in high-speed production lines.

Optimize multi-axis system with graphical user interface

Achieve multi-axis machine control with one controller

The MX Controller, equipped with a high-performance multi-core MPU as standard,

integrates sequence, motion, and network control, supporting up to 256 axes.

It supports mixed operation cycles, ensuring high-speed control even with multiple

axes. One controller delivers precise control of individual mechanisms and control

of the entire production line.

Achieving high-speed and high-accuracy motion control

Multi-core MPU

A high-speed multi-core MPU significantly increases processing performance,

including double-precision floating-point operations. Inter-core communication

allows multiple cores to perform different tasks simultaneously, enabling parallel

high-speed sequence, motion, and network control. Distributed control across

cores shortens the overall production cycle.

Key Features:

• Network Head Stations for CC-Link and PROFIBUS/DP

• Mix-and-match I/O types: Digital and Analog

• I/O-count expansion as low as 2-point up to 16-point; 63 slices max

• Online Module Change without rewiring

• Selectable Spring or Screw clamp terminals

• Single software: GX Configurator-ST

• DIN Rail mounting

Digital I/O Modules

The ST Series Digital Input/Output modules come in various sizes and

capacities, with counts as low as 2 points and as high as 16 points.

These modules can be assembled in any order and mixed with analog

I/O modules as well. Each I/O module requires a corresponding base

module, which will be individually keyed to that type of I/O module 

after the first use. This prevents spare modules to be placed in incorrect

position during maintenance such as Online Module Change.

The ST Series Remote I/O solution, where “ST” stands for “Slice Terminal”

after their extremely slim profile (~0.5in), places easily-expandable

remote I/O devices on decentralized head stations. This allows users to

mix-and-match between digital and analog I/O types on a single network

node. This product promotes ease of design flexibility and ease of 

maintenance, including online I/O module replacement. The ST Series has

dedicated software which is used for system configuration, commissioning,

and online troubleshooting and diagnostics.

Supporting both CC-Link and PROFIBUS/DP, this product is perfect for

applications with modular remote I/O requirements.

Overview

In response to the need for modern monitoring and control systems in thermal power plants, the

Net IR-S infrared flame detector combines the proven IR-S type flame detector, which has been successfully installed in many power plants, with Mitsubishi Electric’s DIASYS Netmation control system.

The result is a flame detector product that can be used as a burner control system.

The Net IR-S has the same sensor unit as the conventional IR-S sensor and can be used with any of the following fuels: fuel oil, coal and natural gas.

In addition, the excellent detection reliability, maintainability and cost effectiveness of the IR-S sensor are maintained.

In addition, the decision circuitry is built as a module of DIASYS Netmation. It is used in conjunction with the upper layers of the Netmation to provide an easy-to-use interface.

The panel of the Net IR-S can be designed as a stand-alone flame detector system independent of the burner control system.

If you replace a conventional flame detector with this new flame detector, you can reuse your existing equipment.

Features

Highly sensitive design

High sensitivity to flame intensity enables stable www.cniacs.com detection of burner flames. Flames are detected through unlit areas.

Extended detection range

With 100 times the dynamic range of conventional products, this sensor enables stable detection of flames from slow burning to high intensity. No sensitivity adjustment of the sensor is required in the field.

Maintenance-free

A ball lens is used to eliminate the need to clean the sensor window during normal boiler operation.

Long Life Sensor

No periodic replacement is required due to the use of long-life infrared semiconductor sensor elements.

Reduced number of panels

The detector unit is compact and utilizes a space-saving design that allows one panel to contain 40 corners.

Reuse of existing boiler facilities

The boiler itself does not need to be worked on when the flame detector is replaced.

Reuse of cables    

There is no need to replace the cable between the sensor and the panel. (When UV type detection is used in an existing system)
