Product Code: CNTR-168
MPN #: QD77MS16
Imagine a production line that stops because the motion controller cannot keep up. That delay costs time and money. The Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC-Q Series QD77MS16 Motion-Controller is built to end those pauses. It drives up to 16 axes from one tiny unit, giving you fast, precise motion for complex machines. If you need smooth positioning, quick cycle times, and a controller that fits close to your drives, this product is the answer.
Many factories face controllers that lag or can only handle a few axes. That limits speed and forces you to buy extra hardware. The problem matters because every second of downtime reduces output and raises costs. This controller removes the limit by offering sub-millisecond cycle times and support for up to 16 axes in a single, compact box. It integrates with the familiar MELSOFT GX Works2 environment, so you can program it quickly and keep your floor tidy.
Use the QD77MS16 in packaging equipment that needs precise pick-and-place timing. It works well in CNC routers where several axes must move together. Assembly robots benefit from its smooth curves and fast response. Conveyor systems can sync multiple drives, and textile machines can control speed-torque precisely. The controller connects to PLCs, CNC software, or stand-alone programs, making it flexible for any automation project.

We are retiring PICOPC Products MNHO-073, MNHO-048 and MNHO-043 and they have reached EOL (End Of Life) as we are introducing new products with better technology. We would recommend you to look into MNHO-095. For Untangle, pfSense, OPNsense, Windows 11, Proxmox VE etc. we recommend MNHO-095 whereas for Sophos, Kerio Control and Endian, we would recommend MNHO-069. (A complete list of supported OS can be found in each product's listing)
