Real-World Dev: 2 Weeks with Mitsubishi iQ-R Simple Motion vs. Siemens & Rexroth

After two weeks with Mitsubishi iQ-R Simple Motion, I found its PLCopen integration restricted by legacy architecture compared to Siemens or Rexroth. Here are my key takeaways:

  • Setup vs. Programming: Mitsubishi excels in hardware setup (SSCnet takes ~30 mins for 30 axes), but its software development is much slower than Rexroth’s AxisInterface or Siemens’ standard libraries.
  • AI Integration: Beckhoff currently leads with native TwinCAT AI agents, while Mitsubishi development still relies on copy-pasting GPT outputs (~70% accuracy).
  • Next Steps: I will soon release short videos comparing Mitsubishi, Rexroth, and Siemens on advanced motion control applications like synchronous tracking, flying shear, and tension control.

We plan to share our source code and mechatronic principles to help young engineers master these systems and accelerate project delivery!
