A practical, step-by-step guide for procurement managers and engineers on selecting Mitsubishi PLCs. Focuses on TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) to avoid common hidden costs, with specific examples for FX, Q, and R series.
Mitsubishi vs Schneider PLC — A common reflex in PLC selection for generator-fed plants is to chase the fastest bit instruction or the biggest I/O count.
Mitsubishi vs Allen-Bradley PLC — You have a shelter – think concrete box, 1 m³, one small fan pulling 30 CFM through a dust filter. Ambient hits 42 °C in July; inside it can reach 52 °C if the PLC dissipates more than 10 W.
Mitsubishi vs Omron PLC — Common story: A packaging engineer specs a PLC by execution speed (34 ns for Mitsubishi, ~4 ms primary cycle for Omron) and thinks the faster one wins.
Mitsubishi vs Siemens PLC — You spec a PLC, you get a price, you install it. The real cost shows up in year two — when the first unplanned downtime hits, when you add one more axis and the CPU says "no more memory," or when the tier-1…
Mitsubishi vs Schneider PLC — You selected a PLC partly by nameplate wattage — 24 VDC, 0.5 A, 12 W — then found it browns out when you add a fourth analog input.
Mitsubishi vs Allen-Bradley PLC — Allen‑Bradley’s Micro850 is programmed via Connected Components Workbench (CCW) — a free, IEC 61131‑3 compliant tool. That sounds maintenance‑friendly.
