Accepted Answer

The R38B is programmed using GX Works3 software. GX Works3 supports structured text, ladder, FBD, and SFC programming languages with advanced debugging and simulation tools.

Question 4

Can R38B communicate with VFDs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the R38B can communicate with Mitsubishi VFDs (FR-D700, FR-E800, FR-A800 series) via N/A. This enables integrated speed control, monitoring, and diagnostics from the PLC program.

Question 5

Does R38B come with warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all Mitsubishi PLCs from SISL come with warranty. As an authorized Mitsubishi Electric distributor in Bangladesh since 2009, we provide genuine products with full after-sales support, technical assistance, and spare parts.

Question 6

Is R38B original Mitsubishi product?

Accepted Answer

Yes, SISL is an authorized Mitsubishi Electric distributor in Bangladesh. All our PLCs including R38B are 100% original Japan products with proper documentation and warranty.

Question 7

Does iQ-R series support multi-CPU architecture?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the MELSEC iQ-R series supports multi-CPU configuration where up to 4 CPUs (PLC, Motion, Robot, CNC) can operate on a single base unit. This enables integrated control of complex automation systems with high-speed inter-CPU communication.

Question 8

What is CC-Link IE TSN in iQ-R?

Accepted Answer

CC-Link IE TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) is the next-generation industrial Ethernet standard supported by iQ-R. It combines Gigabit bandwidth with time-deterministic communication, enabling simultaneous control and IT data traffic on a single network.

Question 9

What is the processing speed of iQ-R CPUs?

Accepted Answer

The iQ-R series achieves instruction processing as fast as 0.98ns, making it one of the fastest PLCs available. This enables high-speed sequence scanning for demanding applications like semiconductor and automotive manufacturing.

Question 10

What is the difference between PLC and VFD?

Accepted Answer

A PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is a digital computer for automation control logic, while a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) controls motor speed. PLCs are the "brain" that makes decisions, and VFDs are "actuators" that execute speed commands. They work together in most industrial systems.

Question 11

Which Mitsubishi PLC series should I choose?

Accepted Answer

For small machines (up to 128 I/O): FX5UJ. For medium machines needing positioning or data logging: FX5U. For large-scale factory automation with multi-CPU needs: iQ-R. For budget-conscious legacy replacement: FX3U. Contact SISL for application-specific recommendations.

Question 12

Can Mitsubishi PLCs connect to SCADA and HMI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all Mitsubishi PLC series support HMI connectivity via built-in Ethernet or serial ports. They integrate seamlessly with Mitsubishi GOT HMI panels and are compatible with popular SCADA systems through standard protocols like Modbus, OPC UA, and MC Protocol.
