GENERAL

Mitsubishi Electric is one of the major manufacturers of PLC systems and the leading manufacturer of compact PLCs. Mitsubishi PLC systems are known for their superior quality, wide range of applications (from rather simple to the most demanding), great communication capabilities and yet competitive prices.

From the beginning SCAN has successfully integrated Mitsubishi PLCs in its control systems. The impeccable operation of the systems based on Mitsubishi equipment supplied by SCAN has proved that we have chosen the best partner.

Today SCAN is a Mitsubishi Electric system integrator and authorised dealer.

MELSEC series PLC systems

ALPHA - The Pioneering New Controller Concept


Until now there has been a gap in factory automation technology for simple programmable applications. Discrete components like relays, time lag relays and counters can only handle very basic tasks, and available PLC systems often have more power and features than needed. Mitsubishi Electric, the world market leader in compact PLC systems, has responded by developing a completely new controller system that closes this automation gap: The ALPHA controller.

Highlights:

• Up to 20 I/Os
• Many pre-programmed functions
• 1,500 bytes program memory
• Display function
• 8 analog inputs, gain function, integrated Schmitt trigger controller
• Integrated clock / calendar...

MELSEC FX0S - Full PLC Power in a Tiny Package


Mitsubishi Electric's miniature controller is a genuine, full-featured PLC system in credit card format.

Highlights:

• Up to 30 I/Os
• Maintenance-free with EEPROM memory
• Serial interface communications
• High-speed counters for positioning tasks...

MELSEC FX0N - Setting New Standards for Compact Controllers


This is the smallest compact, modular controller, combining the advantages of miniature PLCs with the flexibility of a modular system.

Highlights:

• 24 - 128 I/Os
