PLC's

Superior Systems uses a variety of PLC's in it's control systems.
Mitsubishi, Omron, Siemens and Allen Bradley are our first choice controllers
But we can also supply other makes if you have your own preference.

Mitsubishi FX3UThe new FX3U series is the third generation of Mitsubishi Electric's successful compact PLC family. Developed for the international market, the new controllers feature a special second "adapter bus" system, which complements the existing system bus used for expansion, special function and network modules. Up to ten additional modules can be connected to this new adapter bus.

The FX3U controllers also impress with their speed (0.065µs per logical instruction), a significantly larger instruction set with a total of 209 instructions and improved functions and modules, particularly for positioning tasks. Other improvements include enhanced communications capabilities with Ethernet, USB and RS-422 mini DIN connectors.

The enhanced networking support has also increased the I/O capacity of the new flagship model, which can now be expanded to a maximum of 384 I/O’s, including networked connections.

Advantages of the FX3U at a glance:

Safe investment - Fully compatible with the existing MELSEC FX series; IEC 61131-3 programming; plenty of reserves for later updates

* Tailored configurations - Choose from a comprehensive range of products for positioning,
analog signals and communications
* Powerful positioning control - Internal high-speed counters and pulse outputs (100kHz) in all base units
* New counter and pulse outputs (200 kHz), bus-capable servo system for controlling up to 16 axes
with transfer speeds of 50Mbps
* Fast installation and configuration - 209 ready-to-use instructions
* Integrated automation - Modules, functions and instructions are all precisely geared to
Mitsubishi automation technology
* Outstanding value for money - The performance of a medium-scale PLC system for the price of a micro PLC

Mitsubishi QSystem Q
Flexibility is the key word with Qn. It can be a single or multi processor solution, with up to four CPUs installed on the same backplane. Alternatively users can opt to swap PLC CPUs with Motion control CPUs or even add a personal computer directly (as an integral part) to the PLC backplane. Qn can meet the challenges of a modern business by offering an “Automation Rich Environment” from the combination of advanced PLC technology with Motion and a PC as one seamless solution with no networking requirement between them.

Omrons entry-level modular PLC with a big potential

Omron CP1HThe smallest members of the CJ1 family are fully upward-compatible to the CJ1G/H and CS1 series regarding instruction set, communication commands and memory organisation. Now even small machines can be built in a consistently modular way, reducing the cost to enhance, expand or customise machines without a complete redesign of the control system.

* Entry-level modular PLC, compatible with CJ1G/H-series
* CPUs with built-in pulse I/O for fast and easy motion control, or with Ethernet interface for easy integration.
* IEC 61131-3 Structured Text programming, extensive function block libraries
* Transparent communication routing through different networks
* CompactFlash memory card slot for data storage and program exchange.

Siemens HMIThe Micro PLC SIMATIC S7-200 is truly in a class of its own: it’s both compact and highly powerful – especially in relation to its real-time respoCPU224xpnse – it’s fast, features great communications options and comes with really easy to- operate software and hardware. But there’s more to it than that: the Micro PLC SIMATIC S7-200 has a consistently modular design for customised solutions which aren’t too large for the present but open-ended enough to be expanded anytime in the future. All this makes the SIMATIC S7-200 a
