Fuji Electric Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce the launch of the MICREX-SX Series SPH3300/2200 programmable controllers, which contribute to improving productivity on manufacturing shop floors by increasing the control speed of production facilities.
1. Background
MICREX-SX Series SPH3300/2200
Manufacturing shop floor workers are making efforts to improve the operation rate of production facilities, reduce lead-times, and otherwise improve productivity and reduce production costs through the use of DX (digital transformation).
Production facilities include processing machines, robots, and surface treatment equipment, and the function of PLCs (programmable logic controllers) is to optimally control servo systems and motors that drive them.
Fuji Electric has recently launched PLC models SPH3300 and 2200, which feature improved control speed for processing machines such as packaging machines and printing machines.
These models have a function to record data such as the operation status of production facilities, and by using it to analyze data, customers can improve the operation rate of their facilities by detecting signs of facility abnormalities and by restoring facilities early in the event that an abnormality occurs.
They will be rolled out globally, with a focus on Japan and the Asian region, the latter of which is enjoying continued economic growth.
2. Features

1) A new calculation engine to achieve a 6.5-times higher control speed
PLCs perform machine control and system monitoring control by executing application programs created by customers. With these models, the calculation engine (including the processor and memory) has been revamped to improve the application program execution speed, achieving a control speed that is 6.5 times higher than FE’s previous model.(*1)
This helps improve the efficiency of customer equipment.

2) Fuji Electric’s unique logging function keeps apps running faster when recording data
Promoting DX on manufacturing shop floors requires a logging function.(*2) With PLCs made by other companies, using the logging function may result in slower execution speeds in application programs for machine control and system monitoring control, possibly causing decreases in the productivity and accuracy of customer facilities.
However, thanks to FE’s proprietary software structure, these products can record data while maintaining the execution speed of application programs even when using the logging function.

3) A simple model migration tool that reduces the time needed to switch models
Replacing a PLC with a different model requires a migration process, which involves rebuilding the previously used application programs to match the new model’s specifications and verifying operation. For this product, Fuji Electric has developed a simple model migration tool to simplify this process.
Customers can automatically rebuild the application programs of existing FE models through a simple computer operation. This greatly reduces the time and effort needed to switch models.
