The Mitsubishi RQ65B is a remote I/O module used in conjunction with Mitsubishi PLCs to expand the I/O capabilities of industrial automation systems. It allows for remote control and monitoring of devices, sensors, actuators, and other field equipment, facilitating efficient communication in distributed control systems.
The RQ65B module is designed to be used with Mitsubishi Q Series PLCs, allowing remote operation and monitoring of I/O points from a central PLC system. It simplifies system wiring and improves flexibility by reducing the need for long-distance wiring between the PLC and I/O devices.
I/O Capacity:
16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs in the base configuration, with the possibility to expand the I/O capacity by adding additional modules, allowing scalability for larger systems.
Communication:
Features a high-speed communication interface to transmit and receive data from the remote I/O devices, ensuring reliable and efficient data exchange. It typically integrates with Q Series PLCs via CC-Link or Modbus communication protocols.
CC-Link Communication: Uses CC-Link network protocol for seamless, high-speed communication between the PLC and the remote I/O module, ensuring real-time control and monitoring.
Power Supply:
Operates on 24V DC, which is standard for industrial automation systems, providing stability and consistent performance across the entire system.
Compact Design:
The RQ65B is compact and space-efficient, making it suitable for installation in control cabinets or other environments where space is limited.
Environment:
Designed for industrial environments, it can operate within a temperature range of 0°C to 55°C, with the necessary protection against dust, vibration, and electrical noise commonly found in industrial settings.
Modular Expansion:
Offers modular expandability, allowing users to add more I/O modules as required for future system upgrades or changes in the automation process.
Easy Integration:
Compatible with Mitsubishi’s GX Works2 or GX Works3 software for easy programming, configuration, and monitoring. These software packages enable simple setup and diagnostics, streamlining the deployment process.
