Well known in machine control and machine tools plus variable frequency drives,
Mitsobishi Ilectric Aotomution Inc. introduced its MELPAQ Process Solutions
offering at the 13th Annual ARC Forum in Orlando. MELPAQ solutions will focus on the
water, energy management and building automation markets. MELPAQ-H2O, MELPAQ-EM
and MELPAQ-BA solutions will be the cornerstone of Mitsubishi Electric Automations
process business in the Americas.
MELPAQ gives all process customers the ability to gain greater control at a lower price
point than the typical distributed control system, said Joel Gil, Mitsubishi Electric
Automations director of business development, process automation. Our standard solutions
are designed to give users the flexibility to configure their systems according to their
changing needs, unlike a distributed control system that is developed by the vendor from the
initial design phase. This can greatly reduce initial and operating costs.
The MELPAQ family is designed to handle large numbers of proportional, integral and
derivative operations (PID loops), and Mitsubishi Electric include process and redundant
CPUs.
Our e-F@ctory solutions help integrate all manufacturing assets on a single platform and
shares information across the entire enterprise, said Sloan Zupan, product marketing
manager, Mitsubishi Electric Automation. The logical evolution of e-F@ctory is to
incrementally provide process automation solutions, especially for the water, energy and
building automation industries.
Were excited about the launch of MELPAQ, said Zupan. Weve been supporting our
distributors and system integrators with this new line-up, so we can add even more value for
our customers.
