For some applications it is much easier to solve complex automation program code using a higher level computer language than writing PLC code. This could be applications where the data processing part is much bigger than the control program part.

Based on the C Controller, the industry proven hardware from the Mitsubishi Electric iQ Platform, e-F@ctory Alliance partner RT Leaders has created a software development kit, the C Automation SDK, which removes all the issues regarding special hardware, OS problems, compilers or communication drivers.

The C Controller has direct access to all Mitsubishi Electric automation components such as motion controllers, robot controllers, inverters etc. Whilst the PLC executes the program sequence, the C Controller calculates all necessary variables in Real Time.

The C Automation SDK is a script interpreter tool for the C Controller using the recognised and freely available Lua language to write automation programs. Lua is a fast language engine with a small footprint that you can embed easily into your application. It is distributed in a small package and builds out-of-the-box in all platforms that have a standard C compiler.

Up to 16 different, simultaneous running tasks can run on a single C Controller which can be controlled via external tools or by bits in the PLC. The Mitsubishi C Controller comes preinstalled with all ordered C Automation SDK modules and the dedicated licenses.
