Description

Overview

Windows® and VxWorks® pre-installed

Two types of operating systems can be operated at the same time, device control and data collection can be performed on a real-time basis like VxWorks® , and analysis of collected data and display of analysis results can be carried out for each OS like Windows®. Therefore, device control and information processing functions, which have been supported by combining personal computers and dedicated devices, can be consolidated into one unit, contributing to reduction of system construction cost and space saving of devices.

Easy data transfer between OS

By passing through shared memory and shared folders, data can be easily exchanged between operating systems.

Individual restart of Windows®
Even if Windows® freezes, you can only restart Windows® with VxWorks® running.

High precision device control realized by CC-Link IE Field Network

Data communication of control information and production information of devices connected via CC-Link IE Field Network can be performed in 1 ms at maximum. Therefore, high-precision device control and high-speed collection of production information are realized. With ports for CC-Link IE Field Network and CC-Link IE Field Network Basic, you can easily connect to compatible devices simply by making settings.

Reduce program development effort

Since both Windows® and VxWorks® provide APIs, high-speed data communication between OSs and access to various connected devices can be easily realized, making it easy to create programs. In addition, because you can use functions shared with the C language controller unit, such as CCPU functions and MD functions, you can use the program assets of the C language controller unit.

Hardware features

The high level of environmental resistance and durability developed in the general-purpose sequencer MELSEC series enables long-term continuous operation in various environments used by customers. In addition, consumables can be easily removed and replaced, making maintenance easy.
