 Mitsubishi Pushes Into China's Energy Sector
Mitsubishi Pushes Into China's Energy Sector
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced that it will ship the first of 10 sets of digital instrumentation and control systems for nuclear power plants in China, an order worth a total of JPY48 billion, as part of the first commercial collaboration between China and Japan in the field of nuclear power.
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced that it will ship the first of 10 sets of digital instrumentation and control systems for nuclear power plants in China, an order worth a total of JPY48 billion, as part of the first commercial collaboration between China and Japan in the field of nuclear power. The digital I&C systems, manufactured jointly by Mitsubishi Electric and its system engineering consortium partner, China Techenergy Corporation Ltd., control and monitor entire nuclear power plants to ensure safe operations and efficient power generation. In July 2007, the consortium of Mitsubishi Electric and CTEC won an order for six digital I&C systems to be used in nuclear power plants in China, making Mitsubishi Electric the first Japanese firm to win such orders in China. Following their first order, they started on the system design and, in 2009, moved onto the assembling and testing stages at CTEC's Beijing factory. The first digital I&C system will be delivered to Liaoning Hongyan he Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1, which is scheduled to start operation in 2012. Built by China Guangdong Nuclear Power Holding Corporation Ltd., Liaoning Hongyan he Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 will have an output capacity of 1,000 megawatts. The capacity of nuclear power plants in China is expected to increase from the current 9,000MW to 60,000MW by 2020 and up to 160,000MW by 2030, with more than 50 new nuclear power plants planned.
Industrial Automation
More than technologically innovative products Mitsubishi Electric is synonymous with innovative, high-quality products - also in the industrial automation sector. Programmable logic controllers, drive solutions and industrial robots from Mitsubishi Electric are widely hailed as among the most powerful on the market, and they have now been contributing business success in Europe for almost 30 years.
Sales and support are never far away The Industrial Automation division has its own sales organisations in , , , , and . In addition to this partner companies perform marketing activities for Mitsubishi Electric in almost all European countries.
Collaboration with capable partners in the automation industry is one of the key foundations of Mitsubishi's success. Today more than ever, our customers expect automation solutions tailored to the specific requirements of their applications. Our partners' expertise in specific industries, coupled with Mitsubishi Electric's innovative automation technology, are the two main ingredients of our successful recipe for made-to-order solutions and perfect customer service.
Full service The customer is always the focus of all our service activities.Our customers get the best possible support from experienced staff, who provide competent advice and help with planning, projects, installation and configuration, training and all automation questions and tasks. Optimised stocks and a central logistics centre ensure fast, efficient deliveries. When you need technical
| Compact PLC It is now over 25 years since Mitsubishi Electric launched the first compact PLC on the European market. Since then Mitsubishi has become the world market leader in this sector, with over 8 million of its compact controller installations to its credit.
With their compact dimensions and low cost compact controllers have opened up new perspectives in industrial automation. Many applications for which automation was once not even an option can now benefit from the many advantages of these controllers.
The FX3U series that is now being launched worldwide is the third generation Mitsubishi Electric's extremely successful family of compact PLCs. The new flagship line once again sets new standards - and not only in the compact controllers class. The FX3U takes compact controllers into another dimension, delivering performance that was formerly the exclusive domain of larger control systems in a compact package.
The FX family now includes four independent but fully mutually-compatible product lines:

| Industrial Modems The demand for remote control and low cost fault messaging systems applied to automation or remote facility management has grown rapidly. Mitsubishi Electric Europe has addressed this need through telemetry solutions based on a range of powerful Industrial Modems and management software.
There are two different types of Mitsubishi Industrial Modem: Intelligent Modems (MAM) and Standard Modems (MIM). Each type has models for connection to an analog Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) or a Global System for Mobile Telecommunication (GSM).
These new Industrial Modems are designed to be flexible and easy to use offering a simple RS232, RS422 or RS485 connection to the target device. Selected models even have Mitsubishi PLC protocols built in as standard making the integration of telemetry and control simple and seamless.
What can you expect from Mitsubishi intelligent Industrial Modems?
Alarm Messaging via SMS, fax, e-mail
Send alarm messages to service personnel in the event of a malfunction.
Tele-Switching via SMS and e-mail
Switching of PLC outputs and markers via SMS and dial-in.
Easy to set-up with flexible information delivery options
Send and receive e-mail, fax, SMS, Express E-Mail
Large alarm storage area, no need to lose alarm data.
Flash memory 2 MB, expandable to 66 MB
Open interfaces for hardware and software developers
XML, RS232, RS485
Standard modem functions also included
Remote program up & download, remote monitoring and setting.
Alarm cascade (2-3 levels)
Manage alarms and escalate when no acknowledgement is received
Built-in security
Password protection for local and remote configuration.
XML based Modem set-up - No more AT commands

| Modular PLC – process control A platform to build on The strength of System Q’s automation platform really comes into its own in traditional specialist industries. The unique flexibility of proven off-the-shelf control components such as I/O and communication devices, teamed with dedicated special devices like process CPUs, assures high functionality, ease of use and targeted control – all within budget. Two worlds meet Our dedicated System Q process CPUs build on the already high functionality of Mitsubishi’s advanced PLC CPUs. This powerful combination of sequential control overlaid with dedicated process instructions gives users a hybrid control solution with the best of both worlds. This is complemented in turn by a range of dedicated channel-isolated and highresolution analogue modules. Here, too, a combination of specialist and standard modules provides the basis for practical and flexible solutions. High system availability can be maintained through various means, including redundant process CPUs, stand-by network masters, and redundant network configurations, as well as by wire-break detection and a “hot-swap” capability that allows modules to be replaced during live operation. Programming can be implemented using a wide range of tools such as IEC1131.3 compliant software and the process-dedicated PX Developer. Process CPUs System Q’s Process CPUs bring the benefits of standard System Q technology into the process environment, reducing both implementation and long-term running costs. These powerful processors combine standard PLC control with 52 dedicated process control functions, including loop controls with two degrees of freedom (DOF) and highspeed PID control. Redundant CPUs Mitsubishi Electric’s dual-redundant CPUs bring an additional layer of fault tolerance to the control of a whole system. This results in high reliability: if the main CPU, power supply or base unit fails, a secondary system starts immediately (within 21ms) from the same control point. For users this has two major benefits: no operational damage due to a single system failure, and production that continues seamlessly. High reliability systems The System Q automation platform can also be applied to other areas requiring high reliability, e.g. standby network masters, redundant fieldbus (CC-Link) and redundant power supplies for remote I/O stations. In addition, selected analogue and temperature control units have a wirebreak detection feature enabling them to determine the difference between an actual signal and one that has been lost due to external system damage. |
