R16ENCPU - Mitsubishi Programmable Controllers Melsec

Built for critical automation tasks, the R16ENCPU by Mitsubishi Electric delivers exceptional control capabilities with a generous 160K step program memory and support for 4096 local I/O points. Its lightning-fast instruction cycle times—just 0.98 ns for LD commands and 1.96 ns for MOV instructions—enable real-time decision-making, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted operations in time-sensitive industrial environments.

Engineered for large-scale integration, the R16ENCPU features a built-in Ethernet port for high-speed CC-Link IE communication, making it easy to interface with SCADA systems, HMIs, motion controllers, and enterprise-level MES/ERP solutions. The built-in buffer battery ensures memory retention during power loss, a critical safeguard in 24/7 operations. With its compact design—110 mm depth, 56 mm width, and 106 mm height—and lightweight form factor at just 0.4 kg, this PLC fits efficiently into space-constrained control panels.

Reliability is at the core of this MELSEC iQ-R Series PLC. The R16ENCPU meets multiple global certifications, including CE, UL/cUL, and UKCA, and holds shipping approvals from ABS, BV, DNV GL, LR, NK, and RINA. This makes it suitable not only for manufacturing plants, but also for use in marine, logistics, and infrastructure automation. Trusted across India and globally by control engineers and plant designers, the R16ENCPU balances speed, memory, and stability in one dependable controller.
