MICREX-SX general-purpose PLC
MICREX-SX general-purpose PLC with
high-performance CPU
With a program capacity up to 512 k steps and I/O control
of up to 65,536 points, it is possible to construct an
optimal system from small to large scale. A 1 ms program
scan and I/O refresh are possible. Construction and
performance can be distributed with a multi CPU system
of up to eight CPUs.
Open network connections
Various open networks are supported including
Ethernet, LONWORKS*6, FL-net, Device-net*6,
PROFIBUS-DP*6 and AS-i*6.
Engineering functions
Software for both special-purpose controllers and generalpurpose PLCs can be developed in the same engineering
environment.
Machine-less simulation
Use of the simulator enables system equipment such as
control stations and operator stations to be built and
operated on a personal computer.
For example, it is possible to check functions that
combine control station control functions and screen
functions while simulating input and output signals, or
check the data of inter-station communication without
using actual machines. This enables efficient and
high-quality engineering.
IEC 61131-3 compliant
The engineering tool of the control station (Expert D
300 win) supports five types of program
representations that conform to the IEC 61131-3
international standard (JIS B 3503), enabling an
optimal combination to be used for engineering.
Supported programming languages
●IL (Instruction List) ●LD (Ladder Diagram)
●FBD (Function Block Diagram)SWW ●ST (Structure Text)
●SFC (Sequential Function Chart)
Engineering support tool HEART-BELIEVE-ESPER/SELECT (option)
Control function specifications created using familiar general-purpose OA software such as Excel or Visio can be
automatically converted to control station programs. The execution status of the control station on the control function
specification can be monitored for easy-to-handle efficient engineering from specification study to design, testing, and
post-delivery maintenance.

Capital investment expenses and downtime are
minimized by inheriting existing assets
This system inherits existing application assets, supports connection with existing hardware
assets, and can be updated in a phased manner while minimizing costs and time.
Inherits existing application assets
Inheriting the existing system screens and controller
application assets enables system upgrades to be
performed in a short period of time with high reliability.
Inheritance of existing hardware assets
With support for special-purpose controllers from the former series to
the latest series, as well as new and former PLCs, only former HMIs
need to be upgraded. And support for existing communication
buses and existing I/O modules enables reduced labor for the wiring
work and the construction period to be shortened.
Supported controllers
Special-purpose controllers and PLCs from the former series
Incremental upgrades
to the latest series, are supported.
Seamless connection to existing systems allows
gradual upgrade of HMI stations, controllers, and I/O
modules.
