System debug with forcibly switch the I/O (X, Y) to ON/OFF by GX Developer is possible on Line.

!Possible to restrict access from external sources (Remote password setting)

It is possible to prevent QCPU from illegal remote access through serial communications or Ethernets.

!Compatible with MELSECNET/H remote I/O networks

1. Multiple PLC system compatibility

(1) Outline of multiple PLC system Multiple PLC system is the system which enable a maximum of four QCPUs (PLC CPUs) or motion CPUs (*1) mounted onto the main base unit to control the I/O modules and intelligent function modules. In the multi PLC system, the CPU slots are assigned to PLC No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 in order from left to right to specify the loaded QCPUs and motion CPUs.

*1: Motion CPUs are CPU modules that are connected to Mitsubishi servo amplifiers with SSCNET (which reduces wiring and afford highly reliable connections) in order to perform motion control. This enables synchronous operations with the servo motors and the simple structuring of absolute position systems. The motion CPUs will be released soon. *2: The CPU slot (slot on the right of the power supply module) accepts only the QCPU. (2) Features (a) Possible to incorporate sequence control and motion control in one PLC system It is possible to select the most suitable CPU module from the PLC CPUs (five types) and motion CPUs (two types) in accordance with the size and use of the system when structuring systems.

(d) Possible to continue operations with other CPU modules even when one CPU module goes down As the operations (continue/stop) for other CPU modules can be set with parameters when one CPU module goes down, it is possible to keep the damage to the entire system at a minimum when an error occurs with one CPU module. However, operations for PLC No.2 to 4 will be suspended if PLC No.1, which controls the multiple PLC system, goes down.

2. Standard RAM capacity increased by four times

The capacity of the standard RAM in the Q12HCPU and Q25HCPU has been increased from 32k words to 128k words. This enables the standard RAM to use more file registers and local devices. The following effects are now possible simply by amending the local device settings in the standard RAM for those users who up until now have had to set the file registers and local devices in memory cards owing to insufficient memory capacity in the standard RAM. " Reduction of QCPU scan time * " Cost reductions (memory cards no longer needed)

3. Overwriting on the standard ROM made possible with the memory card (Automatic write to standard ROM)
The automatic write to standard ROM function automatically writes the parameters and sequence programs already stored in the memory card across to the QCPU's standard ROM. The simple amendment of programs away from the local site. " Personal computers (GX Developer) are not required for installing programs. It is no longer necessary to take a personal computer when installing programs amended by the design office into the QCPU at a local sites. " Only necessary to send a memory card to distant sites. The local operator only needs to insert the memory card into the QCPU. (Dipswitch setting are necessary.) ATA cards are useful for memory cards. " Saving from the program lost by battery out. " Easy to load the data from a personal computer.

4. Possible to debug the QCPU during operations (Forced ON/OFF of external inputs/outputs)
The forced ON/OFF of external inputs/outputs is a function that enables the GX Developer to forcibly switch the input (X) and output (Y) ON and OFF while the QCPU is operating.

Not possible to switch ON and OFF with the PLC test while the QCPU is operating <In the case of forced ON/OFF of external input> OFF possible with enforced input X0 Sensor input M0 Facility abnormality detection ON Y10 Warning alarm output M100 OFF Personal computer (GX Developer) ON and OFFof external output possible with enforced output Note: Y10 is set at OFF in the output module, but remains ON with the circuit.

[Forced ON/OFF of external input] The enforced OFF function can set the system at OFF without disconnecting the external lines when the sensor remains ON. [Forced ON/OFF of external output] By forcibly setting the warning alarm output signal for other facilities to OFF when it remains on during facility start-up, it is possible to resolve the system error and continue with test operations.

5. Possible to restrict access from external sources (Remote password setting)

(1) The remote password prevents remote users from illegally accessing the QCPU from remote locations (the remote passwords restricts the writing of parameters, sequence programs and device data.) The remote password set will be written into the QCPU as a parameter. [During access via public telephone lines] [During access via Ethernets]

(2) Remote passwords are made possible through combinations of the following modules. " Serial communication modules of function version B (QJ71C24 (-R2)) " Ethernet modules of function version B (QJ71E71 (-B2))

6. Compatible with MELSECNET/H remote I/O networks

(1) It is compatible with a remote I/O system with the use of Q series I/O.

MELSECNET/H remote I/O network

(2) The MELSECNET/H module (QJ71LP21-25, QJ71BR11) of function version B is necessary to structure a MELSECNET/H remote I/O network.
