MELSEC iQ-R System Recorder Introduction Guide
(Camera Recorder Module)
This guide describes the procedure for introducing a system recorder (camera recorder module), which is
one of our maintenance solutions. The system recorder records the operation of the program data and
error/event occurrences during the system operation using the camera recorder module. The recorded data
can be replayed using the dedicated MELSOFT Software to check the past system operation. This makes it
possible to reproduce the situation at the site where the trouble occurred, and to identify and analyze the
cause of the error by using the video recorded by a camera together.
