Mitsubishi Electric - Maximum performance and safety with the EtherCAT servo
Modern production processes require increasingly precise and powerful drive solutions. Servo drives must be fully integrated into industrial networks to ensure maximum speed, accuracy, safety and efficiency.
Mitsubishi Electric offers the perfect solution: the MELSERVO MR-J5 servo drives, which are ideal for use in combination with EtherCAT controllers and Failsafe over EtherCAT (FSoE).
High performance
The powerful, fast and precise MR-J5 servo system is characterised by a high frequency response of up to 3.5 kHz, enabling automatic vibration suppression. It also supports online autotuning for perfect parameter setting.
Compact design
The compact design of both the amplifiers and the motors ensures that little installation space is required. In addition, the single-cable technology of the servo motors helps to reduce the number of cables. With the use of MR-J5 multi-axis amplifiers, multiple axes can be integrated into a single amplifier.
Functional safety & Failsafe over EtherCAT FSoE
All common safety functions such as STO, SS1, SBC, SSM, SLS, SS2 and SOS are integrated as standard. The EtherCAT servo systems also support these functions via the EtherCAT network (Failsafe over EtherCAT FSoE). At no extra cost.
Energy efficient
The modular servo amplifiers are equipped with regenerative energy feedback to the grid, so that braking energy is not converted into heat but is efficiently fed back into the system. This increases energy efficiency and reduces heat generation.
Easy maintenance
The amplifiers are equipped with AI-controlled predictive maintenance functions that monitor the mechanical components, among other things. The 26-bit encoder operates without batteries, which contributes to lower maintenance costs.

Mitsubishi - iQ-F PLC communicationRead moreOPC UA was until recently only available on large and heavy-duty controllers and PC-based controllers. Mitsubishi Electric now also has an OPC UA module available for the MELSEC iQ-F series compact PLCs, the FX5-OPC. This provides the ability to communicate safely and reliably to high-level IT systems even for smaller applications. Also, an iQ-F Series with the OPC UA module can be used as a gateway between existing automation with controls from different manufacturers and ERP. The iQ-F Series OPC UA server module (FX5-OPC) integrates the OPC UA server directly into the equipment's control system as a robust alternative to computer-based configuration.

Mitsubishi - FX5S seriesRead moreThe FX5S PLC brings the outstanding performance, superior drive control, and user-centric programming of the MELSEC iQ-F series compact controllers to budget-conscious customers. Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. expands its line of MELSEC iQ-F series compact controllers to now offer a basic model providing OEMs with an all-in-one controller for small machines up to 60 I/O with integrated Ethernet connectivity. The FX5S PLC is a solution for simple automation applications at a more affordable price than the original FX5U high-performance model and FX5UJ mid-range model.

Van Meer - Quick Connection for Energy StorageRead moreDrive specialist Van Meer developed an energy storage system for heavy-duty drives and designed a custom battery system for it. For the connectors in the battery system’s cabinet, their regular supplier itsme recommended omni-brand partner Phoenix Contact. Excellent connectors — only the frame didn’t fit. Phoenix Contact quickly developed a customer-specific connector design. itsme now supplies Van Meer with complete connector sets, including the custom plug.

Avebe - A Good Night’s Sleep Thanks to FactoryScanRead moreCompanies often have no clear idea of the installed base of industrial automation in their factories and warehouses. With FactoryScan, itsme can provide an overview of the current status of automation components such as PLCs. Potato processor Royal Avebe uses the results to update their component stock and assess future availability. The scan is intended to reduce the number of hardware-related disruptions Process Control Engineer Johan Wierenga has to deal with. It also helps him sleep better, knowing the stock is up to date.

OI - Warm relationship with supplierRead moreThe O-I glass factory in Leerdam produces 3.5 million beer bottles every day. The challenge of keeping production running 24/7 is tackled together with trusted supplier itsme. They ensure that technicians never run out of stock during maintenance and that critical components like cables and sensors are heat-resistant. This makes life much more relaxed for supervisor Patrick Maduro and his team in the electrical engineering department.
