    What is DataNavigateApp?

    DataNavigateApp is a dedicated application for the MELSEC iQ-R series C intelligent function module. It provides integrated time‑based operation analysis, energy analysis, cycle monitoring, and alarm diagnostics in a single application. DataNavigateApp turns your Controller into a plug-and-play analytics tool. Instantly get real-time asset performance, alarm insights, energy dashboards, and Predictive maintenance tools - all inside the machine, without coding or engineering. It’s the easiest first step toward smarter machines, higher OEE, and true shop-floor digitalization.

    Provide strong support for on-site improvements with apps tailored to your needs

    Use apps tailored to your needs to visualise and analyse equipment, driving improvements on the production site. Each app turns machine data into practical insights — no coding, no IT projects. Just open your browser, and start improving uptime, energy use, and daily productivity.

    Time-Based Operation Analysis App

    Visualise equipment operation status and analyse factors contributing to the decline in operation rates. Instantly see where time is lost and compare shifts, recipes, or days to find the best performers.

    Energy Analysis App

    Visualize equipment power usage and identify wasted power and areas for improvement. Lower energy per part by optimizing run/idle behavior. An easy first step toward energy transparency

    Operation Cycle Monitoring App

    Monitor operating time of cylinders and other parts. Detect abnormal signs and performance issues early before it becomes downtime. Prevent irregular cycle times that affect quality and plan maintenance based on actual machine behavior.

    Alarm Analysis App

    Visualize alarm status and detect frequent or high-impact anomalies. Remove “chronic” alarms that operators see every day and improve machine reliability with minimal engineering effort.

    Three key features of the DataNavigateApp

    1. Simple setup: Its intuitive design makes the app easy for anyone to install and use -no programming experience required
    2. Remote monitoring: Monitor your equipment directly from any computer or tablet using a standard web browser -no dedicated HMI devices required.
    3. Easy data collection: Instantly visualise data from the CPU module, with full support for existing equipment through standard CPU communication functions.

    The way to set it up

    DataNavigateApp Setup

    To set everything up simply install DataNavigateApp on a SD memory card and insert it into the C intelligent function module to start using the application. Equipped with a variety of features, DataNavigateApp supports the visualisation and analysis of the production site, helping you take the first step toward IoT and digital transformation in your factory. Web‑based monitoring enables a more flexible work environment by allowing remote access from any browser.

    FAQ

    How can I easily connect an energy measuring module using the Energy Analysis App?

    How can I easily connect an energy measuring module using the Energy Analysis App?

    By using the Energy Package, you can collect energy data from equipment without any programming. The Energy Package is a free energy data collection package that includes a setup tool and a sample project to help you build a production equipment measuring system.

    Sample project (for iQ-R CC-Link IEF Basic)

    • Energy data collection program

    Setup tool

    • Easy energy measurement setup with drop-down selection

      How to use it

      1. Write the sample project to MELSEC iQ-R 
      2. Set the energy measurement parameters (select from drop-down list) 
      3. Link the device to the Energy Analysis App to complete the setup
