Mitsubishi MCStoragia Standard MCR-109A-BASE
The Mitsubishi MCStoragia Standard (model MCR-109A-BASE) is an industrial FA device backup software designed to streamline maintenance and safeguard production systems through automated device backup. The MCR-109A-BASE enables a structured approach to data protection, ensuring rapid recovery in the event of system failure.
Automated Backup and Restoration
Three-Step Process:
-
Device Registration: An intuitive, graphical interface lets you easily register and group devices (up to five hierarchical levels).
-
Schedule Setup: Backup schedules can be configured on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis by simply dragging and dropping registered devices into the system tree.
-
Backup Verification: Detailed backup histories and change reports are accessible via project displays and comparison screens, allowing for quick validation and restoration of previously operating configurations.
This process ensures that even if a PLC or similar device malfunctions, the MCR-109A-BASE allows you to restore the system to its last known good state with ease.
Flexible System Configurations
Stand-Alone and Distributed Options:
-
For smaller installations, a stand-alone setup (single PC) using the MCR-109A-BASE is available.
-
For medium to large-scale systems, a distributed configuration divides roles among Server, Client, and Agent computers.
-
Cloud Integration: The MCR-109A-BASE can be configured to use a cloud database for remote monitoring and centralized management of backup data.
Comprehensive Device Support
The MCR-109A-BASE is built to handle the backup needs of various FA devices, including:
-
CPU, Motion, and CNC Devices
-
Inverters (FREQROL series)
-
GOT and other connection types
It supports the backup of critical parameters, programs, and configuration data, and includes features for comparing backups, verifying changes, and handling secure data restoration.
Software and Hardware Requirements
-
Operating Environment: Windows 10 Professional (64-bit), Windows 11 Professional, or Windows Server (for distributed use)
-
Essential Software: SQL Server 2019/2022, GX Works3, GX Works2, GX Developer
-
Hardware Recommendations: Intel® Core™ i7 or higher, 8GB+ RAM, 500GB+ HDD (higher for distributed systems)
Pricing and Licensing
The price of base license for the MCR-109A-BASE is reasonable. Additional connection licenses are available for CPUs, Motion, CNCs, Inverters, and GOTs, depending on the number of devices supported. Each license is dedicated to a single server, providing secure and centralized backup control.
The MCR-109A-BASE is an ideal solution for environments where maintaining production continuity is critical—by automating backups and enabling fast restoration, it helps ensure system reliability and operational peace of mind.
