Fully integrated
The Q170M offers the ability to provide a complete automation solution with a single, compact device. Its main strength is the ability to control up to 16 axes over a single SSCNET connection. However, rather than just being a simple motion controller, a comprehensive PLC capability is also built in. Hence the Q170M offers the ability to address a range of applications such as more sophisticated packaging machinery, labeling and material handling applications.

Productivity
By using a single integrated controller that handles both motion and PLC control, machine operation in general benefits. The Q170M insures rapid production throughput with a high speed processor that executes up to four times faster than previous Mitsubishi designs. Hence a machine can realise higher productivity with the existing mechanical design and servos by just changing the controller.
