SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(Read these precautions before using this product.)

Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full
attention to safety to handle the product correctly.

In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: " DANGER" and " CAUTION".

DANGER Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,


resulting in death or severe injury.

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,


CAUTION resulting in minor or moderate injury or property damage.

Under some circumstances, failure to observe the precautions given under " CAUTION" may lead to
serious consequences.
Observe the precautions of both levels because they are important for personal and system safety.
Make sure that the end users read this manual and then keep the manual in a safe place for future
reference.

A-1
[Design Precautions]
DANGER
Configure safety circuits external to the programmable controller to ensure that the entire system
operates safely even when a fault occurs in the external power supply or the programmable
controller. Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.

(1) Configure external safety circuits, such as an emergency stop circuit, protection circuit, and
protective interlock circuit for forward/reverse operation or upper/lower limit positioning.

(2) The programmable controller stops its operation upon detection of the following status, and the
output status of the system will be as shown below.
Status Q series module AnS/A series module
Overcurrent or overvoltage protection of
All outputs are turned off All outputs are turned off
the power supply module is activated.
The CPU module detects an error such as All outputs are held or
a watchdog timer error by the turned off according to the All outputs are turned off
self-diagnostic function. parameter setting.

All outputs may turn on when an error occurs in the part, such as I/O control part, where the CPU
module cannot detect any error. To ensure safety operation in such a case, provide a safety
mechanism or a fail-safe circuit external to the programmable controller. For a fail-safe circuit
example, refer to LOADING AND INSTALLATION in this manual.

(3) Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of an output module relay or transistor. Configure
an external circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a serious accident.

A-2
[Design Precautions]
DANGER
In an output module, when a load current exceeding the rated current or an overcurrent caused by a
load short-circuit flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an
external safety circuit, such as a fuse.

Configure a circuit so that the programmable controller is turned on first and then the external power
supply.
If the external power supply is turned on first, an accident may occur due to an incorrect output or
malfunction.

For the operating status of each station after a communication failure, refer to relevant manuals for
the network.
Incorrect output or malfunction due to a communication failure may result in an accident.

When changing data of the running programmable controller from a peripheral connected to the
CPU module or from a personal computer connected to an intelligent function module, configure an
interlock circuit in the sequence program to ensure that the entire system will always operate safely.
For program modification and operating status change, read relevant manuals carefully and ensure
the safety before operation.
Especially, in the case of a control from an external device to a remote programmable controller,
immediate action cannot be taken for a problem on the programmable controller due to a
communication failure.
To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the sequence program, and determine corrective
actions to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a communication
failure.

CAUTION
Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables.
Keep a distance of 100mm (3.94 inches) or more between them.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction due to noise.

When a device such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve is controlled through an output module, a
large current (approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from
off to on.
Take measures such as replacing the module with one having a sufficient current rating.

A-3
[Installation Precautions]
CAUTION
Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications in this
manual.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of the
product.

To mount the module, while pressing the module mounting lever located in the lower part of the
module, fully insert the module fixing projection(s) into the hole(s) in the base unit and press the
module until it snaps into place.
Incorrect mounting may cause malfunction, failure or drop of the module.
When using the programmable controller in an environment of frequent vibrations, fix the module
with a screw.
Tighten the screw within the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause drop of the screw, short circuit or malfunction.
Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, or malfunction.

When using an extension cable, connect it to the extension cable connector of the base unit securely.
Check the connection for looseness.
Poor contact may cause incorrect input or output.

When using a memory card, fully insert it into the memory card slot.
Check that it is inserted completely.
Poor contact may cause malfunction.

Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases before mounting or removing the
module. Failure to do so may result in damage to the product.
A module can be replaced online (while power is on) on any MELSECNET/H remote I/O station or in
the system where a CPU module supporting the online module change function is used.
Note that there are restrictions on the modules that can be replaced online, and each module has its
predetermined replacement procedure.
For details, refer to this manual and in the manual for the corresponding module.

Do not directly touch any conductive part of the module.


Doing so can cause malfunction or failure of the module.

When using a Motion CPU module and modules designed for motion control, check that the
combinations of these modules are correct before applying power.
The modules may be damaged if the combination is incorrect.
For details, refer to the user's manual for the Motion CPU module.

A-4
[Wiring Precautions]
DANGER
Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases before wiring.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or damage to the product.

After wiring, attach the included terminal cover to the module before turning it on for operation.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock.

DANGER

(4) Increase in debugging efficiency through high-speed communication with GX 1


Developer
High speed communications at 115.2Kbps maximum are available by using RS-232 which reducing the time
2
required for writing and reading of programs and monitoring. Also, the communication time efficiency of
debugging has been increased.
In addition, High Performance model QCPUs (except for the Q02CPU), Process
3
CPUs, Redundant CPUs and Universal model QCPUs support USB, so that high-speed communications of
12Mbps are available.

(7) Connection of up to 7 extension base units.
Up to seven extension base units can be connected to the Q series CPU module.
The overall extension cable length is 13.2m (43.31feet), which allows flexible layout of base units.

(8) Memory extension Note1.1 by memory cardNote1


Memory card installation connector is incorporated so that a maximum 32M bytes of memory card can be
connected. (32M bytes memory card can be connected only when an ATA card is used.)
By installing a large size memory card, large size files can be managed such as comment setting to all data
devices and saving old programs in a memory as correction data.
Even when a memory card is not installed, a program can be stored into the standard ROM through the standard
ROM incorporated in the CPU module, and file registers can be handled by the standard RAM.

For the High Performance model QCPU, the number of usable file register points differs depending on the function version
and serial number.
For details, refer to Appendix 2.2.

Note1

Note1.1 Basic
The Basic model QCPU, Q00(J)CPU, and Q01UCPU do not support memory cards.

1-5
CHAPTER1 OVERVIEW

(9) Automatic writing to standard ROM Note1.2, Note1.3Note1


1
Parameters and programs can be written to the standard ROM of the CPU module without using GX Developer.
When the boot operation is handled by the standard ROM, users do not need to have GX Developer (personal
computer) on hand for modifications of parameters and programs since those can be stored in a memory card
2
and written to the standard ROM of the CPU module.The Q Series CPU module enables writing the parameters
or programs saved on a memory card into the standard ROM of the CPU modules without using GX Developer.
3
(10)Forced on and off of external I/O Note1.2

Forced on and off of external input and output is available using GX Developer even when the CPU module is
4
running or program is being processed.
Also, wiring test and operation test can be conducted without halting the CPU module by forcibly turning on or off
the I/O. 5

(11)Remote password can be set


6
When access to an Ethernet module, serial communication module, or modem interface module is made from the
outside, whether access to the CPU module is enabled or not can be selected with a remote password.

7
(12)Remote I/O network of MELSECNET/H Note1.2

A MELSECNET/H remote I/O system can be configured by installing a MELSECNET/H remote master station.

(4) Precautions for the number of modules to mount
Mount modules within the range of the number of available slots.
When the total number of slots for the main base unit and extension base units exceeds the number of available
slots (for example, six 12-slot base units are used), mount modules only on the available slots so that no error
occurs.
If a module is mounted on a invalid slot, "SP.UNIT LAY ERR." (error code: 2124) occurs.

CHAPTER2 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

2.1.4 Bus connection of GOT


1
In the system with the Q series CPU module, the GOT can be connected on the bus using the extension cable
connector of the main base unit or extension base unit.
This section describes the system configuration of a GOT on the bus. 2
For details of bus connection of the GOT, refer to the following.
GOT-A900 Series User's Manual (Connection)
GOT1000 Series Connection Manual
3

(1) GOT recognized by CPU module 4


When a GOT is connected by bus, the CPU module recognizes the GOT as an intelligent function module with 16
I/O points.
Therefore, the I/O must be assigned to the CPU module in the GOT setup. 5
(When connecting a GOT on the bus, one extension base (16 points x 10 slots) must be occupied by the GOT.)
For details of the GOT setup, refer to the following.
GOT-A900 Series Operating Manual (Extension Function /Option Function) 6
GT15 User's Manual

(2) Maximum number of GOTs 7


Up to five GOTs can be connected on the bus.

(3) Precautions
8
• When connecting a GOT on the bus, position the GOT in the base subsequent to base units. Do not position
the GOT between base units.

2.1.4 Bus connection of GOT


2.1 System Configuration
Figure 2.4 Precaution for connecting GOT by bus
• Extension cables for connecting a GOT on the bus must be a maximum of 13.2m (43.31 feet) in total length.
• A bus extension connector box (A9GT-QCNB) is required when a first GOT connected on the bus is installed
13.2 m (43.31 feet) or more away from the main base unit. (Note that the bus extension connector box
cannot be used for the Q00JCPU.)
For details of the A9GT-QCNB, refer to the following.
A9GT-QCNB Type Bus Extension Connector Box User's Manual
• When using a redundant base unit (Q3 RB/Q6 RB/Q6 WRB) as the base unit, a GOT cannot be
connected on the bus.)

2 - 13
• When using the QA1S6 B as a extension base unit, install the GOT in the base subsequent to the
extension base units but assign the I/O number subsequent to Q6 B/Q5 B.

Extension
stage number I/O number

Q38B main base unit 00 to 7F

QA1S68B extension base unit 3 1A0 to 21F

GOT 2 100 to 19F


Figure 2.5 I/O number when 16-point modules are mounted on all slots

• When using the QA6 B,QA6ADP+A5 B/A6 B as a extension base unit, the GOT cannot be connected
to the bus.
• Before starting up the CPU module, initialize the GOT (Set up the extension base and slot number in the
GOT setup.) that is to be connected to the bus.
(Set up the extension base and slot number in the GOT setup.)
• Apply the power to the CPU module and GOT by either of the following way.
1) Simultaneously turn on the CPU module and GOT.
2) Turn on the CPU module first, and then the GOT.
• Only the GOT1000, GOT-A900, and GOT-F900 series can be used. (Basic operating systems and
communication driver that are compatible with the Q mode must be installed.)
The GOT800 series, A77GOT, and A64GOT cannot be used.

4.2.3 Reset operation
For the Basic model QCPU, the RUN/STOP/RESET switch of the CPU module is used to switch between the RUN
status and STOP status and to perform RESET operation.
When using the RUN/STOP/RESET switch to reset the CPU module, moving the RUN/STOP/RESET switch to the
reset position will not reset it immediately.

Hold the RUN/STOP/RESET switch in the RESET position until reset processing is complete (the flashing ERR. LED turns
off).
If you release your hand from the RUN/STOP/RESET switch during reset processing (the ERR. LED is flashing), the switch
will return to the STOP position and reset processing cannot be completed.

Perform reset operation with the RUN/STOP/RESET switch as shown in Figure 4.7.

2) Store the set parameters and programs to be booted in the memory card.

(b) Operations on CPU module (automatic writing to standard ROM)


1) Power off the programmable controller.
2) Insert the memory card that contains the parameters and programs to be booted onto the CPU module.
3) Set the DIP switches on the CPU module so that the valid parameter drive is matched with the memory card
to be installed.
• When a SRAM card is installed: SW2 : On, SW3 : Off
• When a Flash card/ATA card is installed: SW2 : Off, SW3 : On
4) Power on the programmable controller.
• Boot the file specified in the memory card into the program memory, and write the program in the
memory to the standard ROM after completion of the boot.
5) The BOOT LED will flash when automatic write to standard ROM is completed, and the CPU module will be
in the stop error status.
6) Turn off the programmable controller.
7) Remove the memory card, and then set the valid parameter drive to the standard ROM with the CPU
module's DIP switches.
• Standard ROM: SW2 : On, SW3 : On
The parameters and programs will be booted from the standard ROM to the program memory when the
programmable controller is turned on to enable actual operations.

(a) To set to RUN status with device memory data cleared


3
1) Set the RUN/STOP/RESET switch to the RESET position once (Approximately 1 second) and return it to
the STOP position.
2) Set the RUN/STOP/RESET switch to the RUN position. 4
3) The CPU module is placed in the RUN status (RUN LED: On).

(b) To set to RUN status with device memory data not cleared (held) 5
1) Set the RUN/STOP/RESET switch to the RUN position.
2) The RUN LED flashes.
3) Set the RUN/STOP/RESET switch to the STOP position.
6
4) Setthe RUN/STOP/RESET switch to the RUN position again.
5) The CPU module is placed in the RUN status (RUN LED: On). 7
(2) When a program is written while CPU module is running (online change)*2
No operation is needed for the RUN/STOP/RESET switch of the CPU module. At this time, the device memory
8
data are not cleared.
*1: When a program was written to the program memory during boot operation, also write the program to the boot source
memory.

4.4.2 Switch operation after writing a program


4.4 Universal Model QCPU
If the program is not written to the boot source memory, the old program will be executed at the next boot operation.
*2: When a program is written online in the ladder mode, the changed program is written to the program memory.
When performing boot operation, also write the program to the boot source memory after online change. If the program is
not written to the boot source memory, the old program will be executed at the next boot operation
For details of the boot operation, refer to the following.
QnUCPU User's Manual (Functional Description, Program Fundamentals)

When the CPU module is placed in the STOP status by the remote STOP operation of GX Developer, it can be set in the
RUN status by the remote RUN operation of GX Developer after program write.
In that case, no operation is needed for the RUN/STOP/RESET switch of the CPU module.
For details of GX Developer, refer to the following.
GX Developer Operating Manual

4.4.3 Reset operation
For the Universal model QCPU, the RUN/STOP/RESET switch of the CPU module is used to switch between the RUN
status and STOP status and to perform RESET operation.
When using the RUN/STOP/RESET switch to reset the CPU module, setting the RUN/STOP/RESET switch to the
reset position will not reset it immediately.

Hold the RUN/STOP/RESET switch in the RESET position until reset processing is complete (the flashing ERR. LED turns
off).
If you release your hand from the RUN/STOP/RESET switch during reset processing (the ERR. LED is flashing), the switch
will return to the STOP position and reset processing cannot be completed.

Perform reset operation with the RUN/STOP/RESET switch as shown in Figure 4.31.

*1: Overcurrent protection
The overcurrent protection device shuts off the 5 V, 24 VDC circuit and stops the system if the current flowing in the
circuit exceeds the specified value.
The LED of the power supply module turns off or turns on in dim green when voltage is lowered. (As for the redundant
power supply module, the LED turns off or turns on in red.) If this device is activated, switch the input power supply off
and eliminate the cause such as insufficient current capacity or short. Then, a few minutes later, switch it on to restart
the system.
The initial start for the system takes place when the current value becomes normal.

*2: Overvoltage protection


The overvoltage protection device shuts off the 5 VDC circuit and stops the system if a voltage of 5.5 VDC is applied to
the circuit.
When this device is activated, the power supply module LED turns off.
If this happens, switch the input power off, then a few minutes later on. This causes the initial start for the system to
take place. The power supply module must be changed if the system is not booted and the LED remains off (As for the
redundant power supply module, the LED turns on in red).
*3: Allowable momentary power failure time
(a)For AC input power supply
• If the momentary power failure time is within 20ms, the system detects an AC down and suspends the operation
processing. However, the system continues operations after the power comes back.
• If the momentary power failure time exceeds 20ms, the system either continues or initially starts operations
depending on the power supply load. In case that the operation processing is continued, the system operates the
same as when the momentary power failure time is within 20ms.
Supplying the same amount of AC to both the power supply module and the input module (such as QX10) can
prevent the sensor connected to the input module from being switched to the OFF status when the power supply
turns off.
Note, however, that if only the input module (such as QX10) is connected on the AC line, which is connected to
the power supply, an AC down detection in the power supply module may be delayed due to the internal capacitor
of the input module. To avoid this, connect a load of approx. 30mA per input module on the AC line.
In the system operating with two redundant power supply modules, the system does not initially start operations
when the momentary power failure exceeding 20ms occurs in only one of the input power supplies.
The system, however, may initially start operations when the momentary power failure exceeding 20ms occurs
simultaneously in both input power supplies.
(b)For DC input power supply
• If the momentary power failure time is within 10ms(*4), the system detects an 24VDC down and suspends the
operation processing. However, the system continues operations after the power comes back.
• If the momentary power failure time exceeds 10ms(*4), the system either continues or initially starts operations
depending on the power supply load. In case that the operation processing is continued, the system operates the
same as when the momentary power failure time is within 10ms.
(*4: This is the time when 24VDC is input. If the input is less than 24VDC, the time will be less than 10ms.)
*5: Inrush current
When power is switched on again immediately (within 5 seconds) after power-off, an inrush current of more than the
specified value (2ms or less) may flow. Reapply power 5 or more seconds after power-off. When selecting a fuse and
breaker in the external circuit, take account of the blowout, detection characteristics and above matters.

5.2.2 Selecting the power supply module
The power supply module is selected according to the total of current consumption of the base units, I/O modules,
intelligent function module, special function module, and peripheral devices supplied by its power supply module.
For the internal current consumption of 5 VDC of the base unit, refer to CHAPTER 6.
For the internal current consumption of 5 VDC of the I/O modules, intelligent function module, special function module,
and peripheral devices, refer to the Manuals of their respective modules.
For the devices obtained by a user, see the manual for the respective device.

*1: The CPU module is mounted on the main base unit.

Keep the current consumption of the base unit (Q3 B, Q3 DB, Q6 B) below the 5VDC rated output current of
the Q series power supply module.

(a) Precaution on using the extension base unit (Q5 B)


When Q5 B is used, a power of 5VDC is supplied from the power supply module on the main base unit
through an extension cable.
Pay attention to the following to use Q5 B.

• Select a power supply module of a proper 5VDC rated output current to be installed to the main base unit
so that it will cover the current used by Q5 B.
For example, if current consumption is 3.0A on the main base unit and 1.0A on Q5 B, any of the power
supply modules shown in Table5.15 must be mounted on the main base unit.

• Because 5VDC is supplied to Q5 B through an extension cable, voltage is lowered in the extension
cable.
The power supply module and extension cable must be selected so that a voltage of 4.75VDC or more is
3
supplied at the "IN" connector of Q5 B.
For details of the voltage drop, refer to Section 6.1.5.
4
(b) Methods for reducing voltage drops
The following methods are effective to reduce voltage drops at the extension cables.

1) Changing the module loading positions


5
Load large current consumption modules on the main base unit.
Load small current consumption modules on the extension base unit (Q5 B). 6
2) Using short extension cables
The shorter the extension cable is, the smaller the resistance and voltage drops will be.
Use the shortest possible extension cables. 7

Q64RP

When a redundant power supply system is configured and one redundant power supply module has failed, the system is
operated using the other redundant power supply module only during replacement of the failed redundant power supply
module.
Therefore, keep the current consumption of the redundant power supply base unit (Q3 RB/Q6 RB/Q6 WRB) within the
5VDC rated output current (8.5A) for one redundant power supply module.

CHAPTER5 POWER SUPPLY MODULE

(a) Cautions for using the extension base unit (Q5 B) 1


When Q5 B is used, a power of 5VDC is supplied from the redundant power supply module on the redundant
power main base unit (Q3 RB) through an extension cable.
Pay attentions to the following to use Q5 B. 2
• Keep the sum of the current consumption on Q3 RB and Q5 B not exceeding the 5VDC rated output
current for one redundant power supply module. 3
• Because 5VDC is supplied to Q5 B through an extension cable, voltage drop occurs in the extension
cable.
Select an appropriate extension cable so that a voltage of 4.75VDC or more is supplied at the "IN" 4
connector of Q5 B.
For details of the voltage drop, refer to Section 6.1.5.
5
(b) Methods for reducing voltage drops
The following methods are effective to reduce voltage drops at the extension cables.

1) Changing the module mounting positions 6


Mount a module with large current consumption on the redundant power main base unit (Q3 RB).
Mount small current consumption modules on the extension base unit (Q5 B).
7
2) Using short extension cables
The shorter the extension cable is, the smaller the resistance and voltage drops are.
Use the shortest possible extension cables. 8

• Connecting the terminal to an external display device
• Obtaining the output status into an input module and monitoring it by GOT

5 - 26
(a) Connecting the terminal to an external display device
Connecting the LIFE OUT terminal allows indication of the remaining life of the module to an external display,
device such as external LED, by turning it off when the life is one year or less.
When the external display device turned off, the remaining life can be checked by the LIFE LED of the Q61P-D
located in the control panel.

The LIFE LED turns on in orange


Remaining life is 1 year or less

When the life detection function of the Q61P-D is faulty, the LIFE OUT terminal repeats on and off for three times when the
module is started.
Depending on the system, this behavior (ons and offs) of the LIFE OUT terminal may not be obtained to the input module
due to delay of the sequence program start after the Q61P-D has started.
In this program example, M11 turns on even though the life detection function is faulty when powered on since the remaining
life is regarded as one year.

5.2.4 Precaution when connecting the uninterruptive power supply


1
Be sure of the following terms when connecting the Q series CPU module system to the uninterruptive power supply
(hereinafter referred to as UPS):
2
Use the online UPS or line interactive UPS with a voltage distortion rate of 5% or less.
For the off-line system UPS, use Mitsubishi Electric's F Series UPS (serial number P or later) (Ex.: FW-F10-0.3K/
0.5K). 3
Do not use any off-line system UPS other than the F series mentioned above.

5.2.5 Precautions on power supply capacity 4


The Q64RP and Q64P automatically recognize the rated input voltage waveform to switch the input voltage between
100VAC and 200VAC. 5
Select the power supply for the Q64RP/Q64P power supply module, considering the power supply capacity.
(Reference: At least twice as much as the current consumption)
If the power supply of insufficient capacity is applied, the power supply module might fail when 200VAC power is 6
supplied.

CHAPTER6 BASE UNIT AND EXTENSION CABLE

6.1.5 Guideline for extension base units


1
Since the extension base unit (Q5 B) is supplied with 5VDC from the power supply module on the main base unit, a
voltage drop occurs at extension cables.
Improper I/O may be provided if the specified voltage (4.75VDC or higher) is not supplied to the "IN" connector of the
2
Q5 B.
When using the Q5 B, make sure that the "IN" connector of the Q5 B is supplied with 4.75VDC or higher.
3
And it is recommend to connect it with the shortest possible extension cable right after connecting the main base unit,
so as to minimize the effects of voltage drop.

4
(1) When only the Q5 B is connected to the extension base unit

(a) Selection condition


5
4.75VDC or higher should be supplied to the "IN" connector of the Q5 B in the final extension base.

(b) How to calculate voltage to "IN" connector


The 5VDC output voltage of the power supply module on the main base unit is set to at least 4.90VDC.
6
Therefore, the Q5 B can be used if the voltage drop is 0.15VDC or lower (4.9VDC - 4.75VDC = 0.15VDC).

CHAPTER9 EMC AND LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVES 9


Compliance to the EMC Directive, which is one of the EU Directives, has been a legal obligation for the products sold
in European countries since 1996 as well as the Low Voltage Directive since 1997. 2
Manufacturers who recognize their products are compliant to the EMC and Low Voltage Directives are required to
declare that print a "CE mark" on their products.

9.1 Requirements for Compliance with the EMC Directive
6
The EMC Directive specifies that products placed on the market must be so constructed that they do not cause
excessive electromagnetic interference (emissions) and are not unduly affected by electromagnetic interference
(immunity)". 7
Section 9.1.1 through Section 9.1.6 summarize the precautions on compliance with the EMC Directive of the
machinery constructed with the MELSEC-Q series programmable controllers.
These precautions are based on the requirements and the standards of the regulation, however, it does not guarantee 8
that the entire machinery constructed according to the descriptions will comply with above-mentioned directive. The
method and judgement for complying with the EMC Directive must be determined by the person who construct the
entire machinery.

Besides, our programmable controller has been tested with the maximum rated input value of the power supply module to be used.

9-2
CHAPTER9 EMC AND LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVES

9.1.2 Installation instructions for EMC Directive


9
Programmable controller is an open type device and must be installed inside a control panel for use.*1
This not only ensures safety but also ensures effective shielding of programmable controller-generated
electromagnetic noise.
2
*1: Also, each network remote station needs to be installed inside the control panel.
However, the waterproof type remote station can be installed outside the control panel.
3
(1) Control panel
• Use a conductive control panel.
• When attaching the control panel's top plate or base plate, mask painting and weld so that good surface 4
contact can be made between the panel and plate.
• To ensure good electrical contact with the control panel, mask the paint on the installation bolts of the inner
plate in the control panel so that contact between surfaces can be ensured over the widest possible area. 5
• Ground the control panel with a thick wire so that a low impedance connection to ground can be ensured
even at high frequencies.
• Holes made in the control panel must be 10 cm (3.94 inches) diameter or less. If the holes are 10 cm (3.94 6
inches) or larger, radio frequency noise may be emitted.
In addition, because radio waves leak through a clearance between the control panel door and the main unit,
reduce the clearance as much as practicable. 7
The leakage of radio waves can be suppressed by the direct application of an EMI gasket on the paint
surface.
8
Our tests have been carried out on a panel having the damping characteristics of 37 dB max. and 30 dB mean
(measured by 3 m method with 30 to 300 MHz).

9.1.2 Installation instructions for EMC Directive


9.1 Requirements for Compliance with the EMC Directive
(2) Connection of power line and ground wire
Ground wire and power supply cable for the programmable controller system must be connected as described
below.
• Provide an grounding point near the power supply module. Ground the power supply's LG and FG terminals
(LG : Line Ground, FG : Frame Ground) with the thickest and shortest wire possible. (The wire length must
be 30 cm (11.81 inches) or shorter.) The LG and FG terminals function is to pass the noise generated in the
programmable controller system to the ground, so an impedance that is as low as possible must be ensured.
As the wires are used to relieve the noise, the wire itself carries a large noise content and thus short wiring
means that the wire is prevented from acting as an antenna.
• The ground wire led from the grounding point must be twisted with the power supply wires. By twisting with
the ground wire, noise flowing from the power supply wires can be relieved to the ground. However, if a filter
is installed on the power supply wires, the wires and the ground wire may not need to be twisted.

9-3
9.1.3 Cables
The cables extracted from the control panel contain a high frequency noise component. On the outside of the control
panel, therefore, they serve as antennas to emit noise. To prevent noise emission, use shielded cables for the cables
which are connected to the I/O modules and intelligent function modules and may be extracted to the outside of the
control panel.
The use of a shielded cable also increases noise resistance.
The signal lines (including common line) of the programmable controller, which are connected to I/O modules,
intelligent function modules and/or extension cables, have noise durability in the condition of grounding their shields by
using the shielded cables. If a shielded cable is not used or not grounded correctly, the noise resistance will not meet
the specified requirements.

(1) Grounding of shield section of shield cable


• Ground the exposed shield section of the shielded cable close to the module. Confirm that the grounded
cables are not induced to electromagnetic from the cables, which are not yet grounded.
• Ground the exposed shield section to spacious area on the control panel.A clamp can be used as shown in
Figure 9.2.
In this case, apply a cover on the painted inner wall surface of the control panel, which comes in contact with
the clamp

Note) The method of grounding with a vinyl-coated wire soldered onto the shielded section of the shielded
cable as in shown Figure 9.3 is not recommended. Doing so will raise the high-frequency impedance,
resulting in loss of the shielding effect.

CHAPTER9 EMC AND LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVES

(2) MELSECNET/H module 9

CHAPTER9 EMC AND LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVES

9.2 Requirement to Compliance with the Low Voltage Directive


9
The Low Voltage Directive requires each device that operates with the power supply ranging from 50 to 1000VAC and
75 to 1500VDC to satisfy the safety requirements. 2
In Section 9.2.1 to Section 9.2.6, cautions on installation and wiring of the MELSEC-Q series programmable controller
to comply with the Low Voltage Directive are described.
These descriptions are based on the requirements and standards of the regulation, however, it does not guarantee that
3
the entire machinery manufactured based on the descriptions complies with the above-mentioned directive. The
method and judgment for the low voltage directive must be left to the manufacturer's own discretion.

4
9.2.1 Standard applied for MELSEC-Q series programmable controller
The standard applied for MELSEC-Q series programmable controller is EN61131-2 safety of devices used in
measurement rooms, control rooms, or laboratories.
5
The MELSEC-Q series programmable controller which operate at the rated voltage of 50VAC/75VDC or above are
also developed to conform to the above standard. 6
The modules which operate at the rated voltage of less than 50VAC/75VDC are out of the Low Voltage Directive
application range.
For products with the CE mark, refer to the "Standard Compliance" menu of the MELFANSweb homepage. 7
9.2.2 MELSEC-Q series programmable controller selection
8
(1) Power supply module
There are dangerous voltages (voltages higher than 42.4V peak) inside the power supply modules of the 100/
200VAC rated I/O voltages. Therefore, the CE marked models are enhanced in insulation internally between the

9.2 Requirement to Compliance with the Low Voltage Directive
primary and secondary.

(2) I/O module


There are dangerous voltages (voltages higher than 42.4V peak) inside the I/O modules of the 100/200VAC rated
I/O voltages. Therefore, the CE marked models are enhanced in insulation internally between the primary and
secondary.
The I/O modules of 24VDC or less rating are out of the Low Voltage Directive application range.

(3) CPU module, memory card, base unit


Using 5VDC circuits inside, the above modules are out of the Low Voltage Directive application range.

(4) Intelligent function modules (special function modules)


The intelligent function modules such as analog-digital converter modules, digital-analog converter modules,
network modules, and positioning modules (special function modules) are out of the scope of the low voltage
directive because the rated voltage is 24VDC or less.

(5) Display device


Use the CE marked display device.

9 - 15
9.2.3 Power supply
The insulation specification of the power supply module was designed assuming installation category II. Be sure to use
the installation category II power supply to the programmable controller.
The installation category indicates the durability level against surge voltage generated by a thunderbolt. Category I has
the lowest durability; category IV has the highest durability.

Category IV Category III Category II Category I


Figure 9.21 Installation category for power supply module

Category II indicates a power supply whose voltage has been reduced by two or more levels of isolating transformers
from the public power distribution.

9.2.4 Control panel


Programmable controller is an open type device (a device designed to be housed inside other equipment) and must be
installed inside a control panel for use.*1
*1: Also, each network remote station needs to be installed inside the control panel.
However, the waterproof type remote station can be installed outside the control panel.

(1) Electrical shock prevention


The control panel must be handled as shown below to protect a person who does not have adequate knowledge
of electricity from an electric shock.
• Lock the control panel so that only those who are trained and have acquired enough knowledge of electric
facilities can open the control panel.
• The control panel must have a structure which automatically stops the power supply when the box is
opened.
• For electric shock protection, use IP20 or greater control panel.

9 - 16
CHAPTER9 EMC AND LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVES

(2) Dustproof and waterproof features 9


The control panel also has the dustproof and waterproof functions. Insufficient dustproof and waterproof features
lower the insulation withstand voltage, resulting in insulation destruction.
The insulation in our programmable controller is designed to cope with the pollution level 2, so use in an
2
environment with pollution level 2 or below.

Pollution level 1 : An environment where the air is dry and conductive dust does not exist. 3
Pollution level 2 : An environment where conductive dust
does not usually exist, but occasional temporary conductivity occurs due to the
accumulated dust. Generally, this is the level for inside the control box equivalent to IP54 in 4
a control room or on the floor of a typical factory.
Pollution level 3 : An environment where conductive dust exits and conductivity may be generated due to the
accumulated dust. 5
An environment for a typical factory floor.
Pollution level 4 : Continuous conductivity may occur due to rain, snow, etc. An outdoor environment.

As shown above, the programmable controller can realize the pollution level 2 when stored in a control panel 6
equivalent to IP54.

9.2.5 Grounding
There are the following two different ground terminals.
Use either ground terminal in an grounding status.

Protective grounding : Maintains the safety of the programmable controller and improves the noise resistance.

Functional grounding : Improves the noise resistance.

9.2.6 External wiring

(1) Module power supply and external power supply


For the remote module which requires 24VDC as module power supply, the 5/12/24/48VDC I/O module, and the
intelligent function module (special function module) which requires the external power supply, use the 5/12/24/
48VDC circuit which is doubly insulated from the hazardous voltage circuit or use the power supply whose
insulation is reinforced.

(2) External devices


When a device with a hazardous voltage circuit is externally connected to the programmable controller, use a
model whose circuit section of the interface to the programmable controller is intensively insulated from the
hazardous voltage circuit.

(3) Intensive insulation


The intensive insulation covers the withstand voltages shown in Table9.7.

control part, where the programmable controller CPU cannot detect
any error. To ensure the safety operation in such a case, provide a
safety mechanism or a fail-safe circuit external to the programmable
controller.
(3) Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of an output module
relay or transistor. Configure an external circuit for monitoring output
signals that could cause a serious accident.
In an output module, when a load current exceeding the rated current or
an overcurrent caused by a load short-circuit flows for a long time, it may
cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an external safety
circuit, such as a fuse.
Configure a circuit so that the programmable controller is turned on first
and then the external power supply.
If the external power supply is turned on first, an accident may occur due
to an incorrect output or malfunction.
For the operating status of each station after a communication failure,
refer to the relevant manuals for the network.
Incorrect output or malfunction due to a communication failure amy result
in an accident.

10 - 1
When changing data of the running programmable controller from a
peripheral connected to the CPU module or from a personal computer
DANGER
connected to an intelligent function module, configure an interlock circuit
in the sequence program to ensure that the entire system will always
operate safely.
For program modification and operating status change, read relevant
manuals carefully and ensure the safety before operation.
Especially, in the case of a control from an external device to a remote
programmable controller, immediate action cannot be taken for a
problem on the programmable controller due to a communication failure.
To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the sequence program,
and determine corrective actions to be taken between the external
device and CPU module in case of a communication failure.

Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the
main circuit lines or power cables.
CAUTION
Keep a distance of 100mm (3.94 inches) or more between them.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction due to noise.
When a device such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve is controlled
through an output module, a large current (approximately ten times
greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from off to on.
Take measures such as replacing the module with one having a
sufficient current rating.

When the programmable controller is powered on and off, normal control output may not be done momentarily due to
a delay or a start-up time difference between the programmable controller power supply and the external power supply
(DC in particular) for the control target.
For example, if the external power supply for the controlled object is switched on in a DC output module and then the
programmable controller power supply is switched on, the DC output module may provide false output instantaneously
at power-on of the programmable controller. Therefore, it is necessary to make up a circuit that can switch on the
programmable controller power supply first.
Also, malfunction may occour if an external power supply or the programmable controller is faulty.
To prevent any malfunction which may affect the whole system and in a fail-safe viewpoint, provide a external circuit to
the areas which can result in machine breakdown and accidents (e.g. emergency stop, protective and interlock
circuits) must be constructed outside the programmable controller.
The following page gives examples of system designing in the above viewpoint.

The power-ON procedure is as follows:

For AC/DC

1) Turn power ON.


2) Set CPU to RUN.
3) When DC power is established, RA2 goes on.
4) Timer (TM) times out after the DC power reaches 100%. (The TM set value must be the period of time from when RA2
goes ON to the establishment of 100% DC voltage. Set this value to approximately 0.5s.)
5) Turn on the start switch.
6) When the magnetic contactor (MC) comes on, the output equipment is powered and may be driven by the program. (If a
voltage relay is used at RA2, no timer (TM) is required in the program.)

(3) Fail-safe measures against failure of the programmable controller 9


Failure of a CPU module or memory can be detected by the self-diagnosis function. However, failure of I/O control
area may not be detected by the CPU module.
In such cases, all I/O points turn on or off depending on a condition of problem, and normal operating conditions
10
and operating safety cannot sometimes be maintained.
Though Mitsubishi programmable controllers are manufactured under strict quality control, they may cause failure
or abnormal operations due to unspecific reasons. To prevent the abnormal operation of the whole system,
3
machine breakdown, and accidents, fail-safe circuitry against failure of the programmable controller must be
constructed outside the programmable controller.

10.2 Calculating Heat Generation of Programmable Controller


9
The ambient temperature inside the panel storing the programmable controller must be suppressed to an ambient
temperature of 55 or less, which is specified for the programmable controller. 10
For the design of a heat releasing panel, it is necessary to know the average power consumption (heating value) of the
devices and instruments stored inside.
Here the method of obtaining the average power consumption of the programmable controller system is described. 3
From the power consumption, calculate a rise in ambient temperature inside the panel.

How to calculate average power consumption 4


The power consuming parts of the programmable controller are roughly classified into six blocks as shown below.

5
(1) Power consumption of power supply module
The power conversion efficiency of the power supply module is approx. 70 %, while 30 % of the output power is
consumed as heat. As a result, 3/7 of the output power is the power consumption. 6
Therefore the calculation formula is as follows.

3
W PW = ×{(I5V×5) + (I15V×15) + (I24V×24)} (W)
7 7
I5V: Current consumption of logic 5 VDC circuit of each module
I15V: Current consumption of 15VDC external power supply part of intelligent function
module 8
I24V: Average current consumption of 24VDC power supply for internal consumption of the
output module

10.2 Calculating Heat Generation of Programmable Controller


In a redundant power supply system configuration, the same calculation method is applied.
(When 2 redundant power supply modules are placed in parallel, they run sharing the load current half-and-half.)

(2) Total power consumption for 5VDC logic circuits of all modules
(including CPU module)
The power consumption of the 5 VDC output circuit section of the power supply module is the power consumption
of each module*1 (including the current consumption of the base unit).
W5V = I5V 5 (W)
*1: For the power consumption of the motion CPU and PC CPU module, refer to the instruction manuals of the
corresponding modules.

10 - 7
(3) A total of 24 VDC average power consumption of the output module
(power consumption for simultaneous ON points)
The average power of the external 24 VDC power is the total power consumption of each module.
W24V = I24V 24 Simultaneous ON rate (W)

(4) Average power consumption due to voltage drop in the output section of the
output module
(Power consumption for simultaneous ON points)

WOUT = IOUT Vdrop Number of outputs Simultaneous ON rate (W)

IOUT : Output current (Current in actual use) (A)


Vdrop : Voltage drop in each output module (V)

(5) Average power consumption of the input section of the input module
(Power consumption for simultaneous ON points)

WIN = IIN E Number of input points Simultaneous ON rate (W)

IIN : Input current (Effective value for AC) (A)


E : Input voltage (Voltage in actual use) (V)

(6) Power consumption of the external power supply section of the intelligent
function module

WS = I+15V 15+I-15V 15+I24V 24 (W)

The total of the power consumption values calculated for each block becomes the power consumption of the overall
sequencer system.

W = WPW+W5V+W24V+WOUT+WIN+WS (W)

From this overall power consumption (W), calculate the heating value and a rise in ambient temperature inside the
panel.
The outline of the calculation formula for a rise in ambient temperature inside the panel is shown below.

W
T= C
UA
W : Power consumption of overall sequencer system (value obtained above)
A : Surface area inside the panel
U : When the ambient temperature inside the panel is uniformed by a fan......6
When air inside the panel is not circulated..................................................4

If the temperature inside the panel has exceeded the specified range, it is recommended to install a heat exchanger to the
panel to lower the temperature.
If a normal ventilating fan is used, dust will be sucked into the programmable controller together with the external air, and it
may affect the performance of the programmable controller.

W5V = (0.64 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.065 + 0.55+ 0.33 + 0.11) 5 = 8.98(W)

(e) Total 24 VDC average power consumption of the output module


W24V = 0.01 24 1 = 0.24(W)

(f) Average power consumption due to voltage drop in the output section of the output
module
WOUT = 0.1 0.2 16 1 = 0.32(W)

(g) Average power consumption of the input section of the input module
WIN = 0.004 24 32 1 = 3.07(W)

(h) Power consumption of the external power supply section of the intelligent function
module
WS = 0.12 24=2.88(W)

(i) Power consumption of overall system


W = 3.85 + 8.98 + 0.24 + 0.32 + 3.07 + 2.88 = 19.34(W)

The value of the heat generated in a redundant system configuration (when the Redundant CPU is used) is the sum of the
two values for the control and standby systems, each of which is calculated by the same method as that for the single
system.

10.3 Module Installation

10.3.1 Precaution on installation

Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the


general specifications in this manual.
CAUTION
Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage
to or deterioration of the product.
To mount the module, while pressing the module mounting lever located
in the lower part of the module, fully insert the module fixing projection(s)
into the hole(s) in the base unit and press the module until it snaps into
place.
Incorrect mounting may cause malfunction, failure or drop of the module.
When using the programmable controller in an environment of frequent
vibrations, fix the module with a screw.
Tighten the screw within the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause drop of the screw, short circuit or malfunction.
Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop,
short circuit, or malfunction.
When installing more cables, be sure that the base unit and the module
connectors are installed correctly.
After installation, check them for looseness.
Poor connections could cause an input or output failure.
When using a memory card, fully insert it into the memory card slot.
Check that it is inserted completely.
Poor contact may cause malfunction.
Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases before
mounting or removing the module. Failure to do so may result in damage
to the product.
A module can be replaced online (while power is on) on any
MELSECNET/H remote I/O station or in the system where a CPU
module supporting the online module change function is used.
Note that there are restrictions on the modules that can be replaced
online, and each module has its predetermined replacement procedure.
( 12.4.1).
After the first use of the product, do not mount or remove the module to
or from the base unit, and the terminal block to or from the module more
than 50 times (IEC 61131-2 compliant) respectively.
Exceeding the limit of 50 times may cause malfunction.

10 - 10
CHAPTER10 LOADING AND INSTALLATION

Do not directly touch any conductive part of the module. 9


Doing so can cause malfunction of failure of the module.
CAUTION
When using the Motion CPU module or motion module, check that the
combination of modules is correct before power-on. 10
The product may be damaged if the combination is incorrect.
For details, refer to the User's manual for the Motion CPU module.
3

In case of using the QA1S6 B, when installing the base unit to DIN rail in an environment of frequent vibration, use a 4
vibration-proofing bracket (A1S-PLT-D). Mounting the vibration-proofing bracket (A1S-PLT-D) enhances the resistance to
vibration.
Depending on the environment to install the base unit, it is also recommended to secure the base unit directly to the control
panel. 5

This section gives instructions for handling the CPU, I/O, intelligent function and power supply modules, base units and 6
so on.
• Module enclosure, terminal block connectors and pin connectors are made of resin; do not drop them or
subject them to strong impact. 7
• Do not remove module's printed circuit boards from the enclosure in order to avoid changes in operation.
• Tighten the module fixing screws and terminal block screws within the tightening torque range specified
shown in Table10.2. 8

• Be sure to install a power supply module in the power supply installation slot of Q3 B, Q3 SB, Q3 RB,
Q3 DB, Q6 B, Q6 RB, Q6 WRB, QA1S6 B or QA6 B.
Even if the power supply module is not installed, when the I/O modules and intelligent function module
installed on the base units are of light load type, the modules may be operated.
In this case, because a voltage becomes unstable, we cannot guarantee the operation.
• When using an extension cable or a tracking cable, keep it away from the main circuit cable (high voltage
and large current).
Keep a distance of 100mm (3.94 inches) or more from the main circuit.
• The following are precautions on use in combination with a module whose depth is 130mm or more (Q66DA-
G).
1) A module that is less than 130mm in depth cannot be mounted between modules that are 130mm or more
in depth.
2) A module that is less than 130mm in depth cannot be mounted on the right side of a module that is 130mm
or more in depth.
3) If a module that is 130mm or more in depth is mounted in slot 0 with the Q64P(N) used as power supply,
operations such as installing or removing a CPU memory card may be difficult.
Although there is no problem with the operation behavior, if it is inconvenient, mount a module that is less
than 130mm in depth in slot 0 or leave the slot empty.

10.6.1 Wiring precautions 10

Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases before 3
wiring.
DANGER
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or damage to the product.
After wiring, attach the included terminal cover to the module before 4
turning it on for operation.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
5
Ground the FG and LG terminals to the protective ground conductor
dedicated to the programmable controller.
CAUTION
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction. 6
Check the rated voltage and terminal layout before wiring to the module,
and connect the cables correctly.
Connecting a power supply with a different voltage rating or incorrect 7
wiring may cause a fire or failure.
Connectors for external connection must be crimped or pressed with the
tool specified by the manufacturer, or must be correctly soldered. 8
Incomplete connections could result in short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
Tighten the terminal screws within the specified torque range.
Undertightning can cause short circuit, fire, or malfunction.

10.6.1 Wiring precautions


10.6 Wiring
Overtightening can cause damage the screw and/or module, resulting in
drop, short circuit, or malfunction.
Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the
module.
Such foreign matter can cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.
A protective film is attached to the top of the module to prevent foreign
matter, such as wire chips, from entering the module during wiring.
Do not remove the film during wiring.
Remove it for heat dissipation before system operation.
Mitsubishi programmable controller must be installed in a control panels.
Connect the main power supply to the power supply module in the
control panel through a relay terminal block.
Wiring and replacement of a power supply module must be performed by
a maintenance personnel who is familiar with protection against
electricshock.
(For the wiring methods, refer to Section 10.6.2.)

10 - 39
This section describes the precautions for wiring power supply lines.

(1) Wiring power supply lines


• Wire the power supply lines for programmable controller, I/O devices, and motor equipment separately as
shown in Figure 10.41.
• If there is much noise, such as lightning surge, connect an isolation transformer.
For details on the isolation transformer, refer to the following.
Section 9.1.6(3) Isolation transformer
• Taking rated current or inrush current into consideration when wiring the power supply, connect a breaker or
an external fuse that have proper blown and detection.
When using a single programmable controller, a 10A breaker or an external fuse are recommended for
wiring protection.

• 100VAC, 200VAC and 24VDC wires must be twisted as dense as possible.


Connect the modules with the shortest distance.
Also, to reduce the voltage drop to the minimum, use the thickest wires possible (maximum 2mm2).
• Do not bundle the 100VAC and 24VDC wires with, or run them close to, the main circuit (high voltage, large
current) and I/O signal lines (including common line). Reserve a distance of at least 100 mm from adjacent
wires.

CHAPTER10 LOADING AND INSTALLATION

• Momentary power failure may be detected or the CPU module may be reset due to serge caused by
lightening. 9
As measures against serge caused by lightening, connect a surge absorber for lightening as shown in

(2) Wiring of I/O equipment
• Insulation-sleeved crimping terminals cannot be used with the terminal block.
It is recommended to cover the wire connections of the crimping terminals with mark or insulation tubes.
• The wires used for connection to the terminal block must be 0.3 to 0.75mm2 in core and 2.8mm (0.11 inches)
max. in outside diameter.
• Run the input and output lines away from each other.
• When the lines cannot be run away from the main circuit and power lines, use a batch-shielded cable and
ground it on the programmable controller side.
In some cases, ground it in the opposite side.

• Where wiring runs through piping, ground the piping.


• Run the 24VDC input line away from the 100VAC and 200VAC lines.
• Wiring of 200m (686.67 feet) or longer will raises current leakage due to the line capacity, resulting in a fault.
• To prevent electric shock or malfunction, provide the external power supply for the module to be changed
online with means that can turn the power supply off individually, e.g. a switch. ( Section 12.4)
For details, refer to Section 12.5.
• As a countermeasure against the power surge due to lightning, separate the AC wiring and DC wiring and
connect a surge absorber for lightning as shown in (1) of item (10.6.1).
Failure to do so increases the risk of I/O device failure due to lightning.

Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases
before mounting or removing the module. Failure to do so may
cause the module to fail or malfunction.
A module can be replaced online (while power is on) on any
MELSECNET/H remote I/O station or in the system where a CPU
module supporting the online module change function is used.
Note that there are restrictions on the modules that can be
replaced online, and each module has its predetermined
replacement procedure.
( Section 12.4.1).
After the first use of the product, do not mount/remove the module
to/from the base unit, and the terminal block to/from the module
more than 50 times (IEC 61131-2 compliant) respectively.
Exceeding the limit of 50 times may cause malfunction.
Do not drop or apply shock to the battery to be installed in the
module.
Doing so may damage the battery, causing the battery fluid to leak
inside the battery.
If the battery is dropped or any shock is applied to it, dispose of it
without using.
Before handling the module, touch a grounded metal object to
discharge the static electricity from the human body.
Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.

In order to use the programmable controller in normal and optimal condition at all times, this section describes
items that must be maintained or inspected daily or at regular intervals.

11.3 Battery Life and Replacement Procedure


1
The batteries installed in the CPU module and SRAM card are used for data retention of the program memory,
standard RAM, and latch device during the power failure. Special relays SM51 and SM52 turn on due to the battery 2
voltage drop. Even if the special relays turn on, the program and retained data are not deleted immediately.
After relay SM51 turns on, replace the battery quickly within the backup power time for (3 minutes).

11
SM51 turns on when the battery voltage drops below the specified value, and remains on even after the voltage is recovered
to the normal value.
SM52 turns on when the battery voltage drops below the specified value, and turns off when the voltage is recovered to the
4
normal value.
After SM51 and/or SM52 turns on, replace the battery quickly.

5
SM51 and SM52 turn on when the battery voltage of the CPU module or SRAM card is lowered.
To identify the specific battery of the memory of which voltage is lowered, check the contents of the special resisters

*1: For the battery consumption Section 11.3.1.
*2: The power-on time ratio indicates the ratio of programmable controller power-on time to one day (24 hours).
(When the total power-on time is 12 hours and the total power-off time is 12 hours, the power-on time ratio is 50%.)
*3: The guaranteed value represents a battery life at 70 , which is calculated based on the characteristic values of manufacturer-supplied
memories (SRAM) and on the assumption of storage ambient temperature range of -25 to 75 (operating ambient temperature of 0 to
55 ).
*4: The actual service value (reference value) represents a battery life that is calculated based on the values measured at storage ambient
temperature of 40 . This value is intended for reference only, as it varies with characteristics of the memory.
*5: In the following status, the backup time after power off is 3 minutes.
• The battery connector is disconnected.
• The lead wire of the battery is broken.

● Do not use the battery exceeding the guaranteed value of the battery life.

● When the battery may be used exceeding the guaranteed value of the battery life, take the following measures.
• Perform ROM operation to protect a program even if the battery dies at the programmable controller power-off.
• Back up programs and data After SM52 turned on (within the backup power time after an alarm).
● When the battery (Q6BAT, Q7BAT and Q8BAT) is not connected to the CPU module, its service life is five years.

● When the battery-low special relay SM52 turned on, immediately change the battery.
Even if an alarm has not yet occurred, it is recommended to replace the battery periodically according to the operating
condition.

11.4 When Programmable Controller Has Been Stored Without Bat-
tery

When resuming operation of the programmable controller after having been stored without battery installed, the data in
the CPU module and the memory card may be corrupted.
Before restarting operation, format the CPU module memory and SRAM card using GX Developer.
After formatting the memories, write backed up data to each memory.
To format a program memory during boot operation, select the "Clear program memory" checkbox in the Boot file tab
of the PLC parameter dialog box.

Remark
For the Universal model QCPU, when the latch data backup function (to standard ROM) is used, data will not be disap-
peared even if storing data without a battery, since latch data such as device data of the CPU module or error history can
be backed up without using a battery.

CHAPTER12 TROUBLESHOOTING

This chapter describes errors that may occur during system operation, how to locate the errors, and measures against
the errors.
For a redundant system (when the Redundant CPU is used), refer to the following. QnPRHCPU User's Manual
(Redundant System)

12.1 Troubleshooting Basics

In order to increase the reliability of the system, resuming the system operation promptly after correcting a problem is
one of the important factors as well as using reliable device.
To promptly start up the system, the trouble cause must be located and eliminated correctly.
The basic three points to be followed in the troubleshooting are as follows.

(1) Visual inspection


Visually check the following.
1) Behavior of the programmable controller and other connected devices
2) Applicability of the power supply
3) States of input and output devices
4) Installation states of the power supply module, CPU module, I/O module, intelligent function module, and
extension cables
5) Wiring (Cables including input and output cables)
6) Display status of all indicators such as "POWER", "RUN", "ERR.", and "I/O" LEDs.
7) Setting status of all switches such as the number of extension base units and data retention time during
power failure.

After checking 1) through 7), connect GX Developer and monitor the operating status and programs of the
programmable controller.

(2) Error checking


Check how the error status changes by operating the following to the programmable controller.

1) Set the RUN/STOP switch Note12.1 to STOP. Note1

2) Reset the trouble with the RESET/L.CLR switch. Note12.1 ( CHAPTER 4)*1

3) Power on and off.*1


*1: Resetting and powering off clears the error codes stored in the completion status area for the dedicated instruction and
the buffer memory states of intelligent function modules.
Before resetting or powering off, backup the error codes and buffer memory states that are relevant to the error.

Note1

Note12.1 Basic Universal

For the Basic model QCPU or Universal model QCPU use the "RUN/STOP/RESET switch" for the operation.

The CPU module uses the self diagnostics function to display error information (on the LED) and
stores the information into the special relay SM and special register SD, when an error occurs in
the following situations:
• When the Progammable Controller is powered ON.
• When the CPU module is switched from STOP to RUN.
• While the CPU module is running.
If an error occurs when a communication request is issued from the peripheral device, intelligent
function module or network system to the CPU module, the CPU module returns the error code 12
(4000H to 4FFFH) to the request source.
The following describes the description of errors which occur in the CPU module and the
corrective actions for the errors.

(1) How to read the error code list


The following describes how to read Section 12.3.3 Error code list (1000 to 1999) to Section
12.3.9 Error code list (7000 to 10000).

*1: CPU module error codes are classified into minor, moderate, major errors as shown below.
• Minor error: Errors that may allow the CPU module to continue the operation, e.g., battery error.
(Error code: 1300 to 10000)
• Moderate error: Errors that may cause the CPU module to stop the operation, e.g., WDT error.
(Error code: 1300 to 10000)
• Major error: Errors that may cause the CPU module to stop the operation, e.g., RAM error.
(Error code: 1000 to 1299)
Determine the error level, i.e. whether the operation can be continued or stopped, by referring to
"Operating Statuses of CPU" described in Section 12.3.3 to 12.3.9 "Error Code List"
*2: When detected an error code without being noted in the reference table, please contact your local
Mitsubishi representive.

12.3.2 Reading an error code

When an error occurs, reading an error code, error message or the like can be executed with GX
Developer.
For the details of the operation method, refer to the operating manual for GX Developer.

CHAPTER12 TROUBLESHOOTING

12.3.10 Canceling of Errors

Q series CPU module can perform the cancel operation for errors only when the errors allow
the CPU module to continue its operation.
To cancel the errors, follow the steps shown below.

1) Eliminate the cause of the error.


2) Store the error code to be canceled in the special register SD50.
3) Energize the special relay SM50 (OFF ON).
4) The error to be canceled is canceled.
12
After the CPU module is reset by the canceling of the error, the special relays, special
registers, and LEDs associated with the error are returned to the status under which the
error occurred.
If the same error occurs again after the cancellation of the error, it will be registered again in
the error history.
When multiple enunciators(F) detected are canceled, the first one with No. F only is
canceled.

Refer to the following manual for details of error canceling.


Qn(H)/QnPH/QnPRHCPU User's Manual (Function Explanation, Program
Fundamentals)

(1) When the error is canceled with the error code to be canceled stored in the SD50, the lower one digit of the code is
neglected.

If error codes 2100 and 2101 occur, and error code 2100 to cancel error code 2101.
If error codes 2100 and 2111 occur, error code 2111 is not canceled even if error code 2100 is canceled.
(2) Errors developed due to trouble in other than the CPU module are not canceled even if the special relay (SM50) and
special register (SD50) are used to cancel the error.
(Example)
Since "SP. UNIT DOWN" is the error that occurred in the base unit (including the extension cable), intelligent function
module, etc. the error cause cannot be removed even if the error is canceled by the special relay (SM50) and special
register (SD50).
Refer to the error code list and remove the error cause.

12.3.11 Error codes returned to request source during communication with CPU
module

The Q series CPU module returns an error code to the request source if an error occurs at a
request of communication from GX Developer, intelligent function module or network system.

This error code is not an error that is detected by the CPU module self-diagnosis function, so it is not stored in the special
relay (SD0).
When the request source is a GX Developer, a message or an error code is displayed.
When the request source is an intelligent function module or network system, an error is returned to the process that was
requested.
12

The error contents of the error codes (4000H to 4FFFH) detected by the CPU module and the
messages displayed by the GX Developer are shown in .

12.4 Module Change during System Operation

This section explains how to change the module online (with power on) without stopping the system.

12.4.1 Online module change

An online module change Note12.15 is a function that allows the Q series module mounted on the main base unit or
extension base unit to be changed during system control executed by the Process CPU or Redundant CPU.Note1
Using an online module change, the module that failed during control can be replaced with the module of the same
model name.

● An online module change cannot add a module or change the current module for another module.

● When executing an online module change for the Process CPU in the multiple CPU system, it is necessary to specify
"Online module change enable for other CPU" in the multiple CPU setting of the PLC parameter dialog box.
Also, there are restrictions on the versions of the CPU modules that comprise the multiple CPU system. For details,
refer to the following.
QCPU User's Manual (Multiple CPU System)
● Perform an online module change after confirming that the system outside the programmable controller will not
malfunction.
● To prevent an electric shock, operating module malfunction, etc., provide a switch or similar individually cutting-off
means for the external power supply of the module to be changed online.
● It is recommended to verify that the operations of the unchanged modules will not be affected by executing an online
module change in an actual system beforehand to confirm the following
• The means and structure that will cut off the connection with the external device are correct.
• ON/OFF of switches, etc. has no influence.
● Do not mount/remove the module onto/from base unit or terminal block more than 50 times (IEC 61131-2 compliant),
after the first use of the product.
Failure to do so may cause the module to malfunction due to poor contact of connector.

• If either redundant power supply module fails, change it for a normal one earlier than usual (within 14 days as a
guideline).
If it does not fail, it is recommended to change the redundant power supply module for a new one after five years
have elapsed.
• Change the redundant power supply module with extreme care, referring to Section 10.3.3(1).
If the module fixing projection of the redundant power supply module comes off from the module fixing hole of the
redundant base unit, an error will occur due to connector damage.
• When the redundant power supply system is used, a "continue" error will occur due to a redundant power supply
module failure. Cancel the error after changing the faulty redundant power supply module for a normal one.
Note12.16, Note12.17
• When the redundant power supply system is used, the failure status of the redundant power supply module can
be checked by the system monitor of GX Developer (Version 8.18U or later) or the special relay SM1781/special

12.7 SPECIAL RELAY LIST

Special relays, SM, are internal relays whose applications are fixed in the Programmable
Controller.
For this reason, they cannot be used by sequence programs in the same way as the normal
internal relays.
However, they can be turned ON or OFF as needed in order to control the CPU module.
The heading descriptions in the following special relay lists are shown in 3.1.

(10) A to Q conversion correspondences
Special relays SM1000 to SM1255 are the relays which correspond to ACPU special relays
M9000 to M9255 after A to Q conversion.
(However, the Basic model QCPU and Redundant CPU do not support the A to Q
conversion.)
These special relays are all set by the system, and cannot be set by the user program.
To turn them ON/OFF by the user program, change the special relays in the program into
those of QCPU.
However, some of SM1084 and SM1200 to SM1255 (corresponding to M9084 and M9200 to
M9255 before conversion) can be turned ON/OFF by the user program, if they could be
turned ON/OFF by the user program before conversion.For details on the ACPU special
relays, see the user's manuals for the individual CPUs, and MELSECNET or MELSECNET/
B Data Link System Reference Manuals

Check "Use special relay/special register from SM/SD1000" for "A-PLC" on the PLC system tab of PLC parameter in GX
Developer when the converted special relays are used with the High Performance model QCPU, Process CPU, and
Universal model QCPU.
When not using the converted special relays, uncheck "Use special relay/special register from SM/SD1000" to save the time
taken for processing special relays.

Remark
The following are additional explanations about the Special Relay for Modification column.
When a special relay for modification is provided, the device number should be changed to the provided QCPU special
relay.
When is provided, the converted special relay can be used for the device number.
When is provided, the device number does not work with QCPU.

12.8 SPECIAL REGISTER LIST

The special registers, SD, are internal registers with fixed applications in the Programmable
Controller.
For this reason, it is not possible to use these registers in sequence programs in the same way
that normal registers are used.
However, data can be written as needed in order to control the CPU modules.
Data stored in the special registers are stored as BIN values if no special designation has been
made to the contrary.

The heading descriptions in the following special register lists are shown in 4.1.

(10) A to Q conversion
ACPU special registers D9000 to D9255 correspond to Q special registers SD1000 to
SD1255 after A to Q/QnA conversion.
(However, the Basic model QCPU and Redundant CPU do not support the A to Q
conversion.)
These special registers are all set by the system, and cannot be set by the user program.
To set data by the user program, correct the program for use of the QCPU special registers.
However, some of SD1200 to SD1255 (corresponding to D9200 to 9255 before conversion)
can be set by the user program if they could be set by the user program before conversion.
For details on the ACPU special registers, refer to the user's manual for the corresponding
CPU, and MELSECNET or MELSECNET/B Data Link System Reference Manuals.

Check "Use special relay/special register from SM/SD1000" for "A-PLC" on the PLC system tab of PLC parameter in GX
Developer when the converted special registers are used with the High Performance model QCPU, Process CPU, and
Universal model QCPU.
When not using the converted special registers, uncheck "Use special relay/special registers from SM/SD1000" to save the
time taken for processing special registers.

Remark
Supplemental explanation on "Special Register for Modification" column

For the device numbers for which a special register for modification is specified, modify it to the special register for
QCPU.

For the device numbers for which is specified, special register after conversion can be used.

Device numbers for which is specified do not function for QCPU.

Note: This symbol is for EU member states only.
The symbol is specified in the new EU Battery Directive (2006/66/EC) Article 20 “Information
for end-users” and Annex II.

The symbol indicates that batteries need to be disposed of separately from other wastes.

App - 36
Appendix 4.2 Exportation precautions
The new EU Battery Directive (2006/66/EC) requires the follwoing when marketing or exporting batteries and/or
devices with built-in batteries to EU member states.
• To print the symbol on batteries, devices, or their packaging
• To explain the symbol in the manuals of the products

(1) Labelling
To market or export batteries and/or devices with built-in batteries, which have no symbol, to EU member states
on September 26, 2008 or later, print the symbol shown in Figure App.45 on the batteries, devices, or their pack-
aging.

(2) Explaining the symbol in the manuals


To export devices incorporating Mitsubishi programmable controller to EU member states on September 26, 2008
or later, provide the latest manuals that include the explanation of the symbol.
If no Mitsubishi manuals or any old manuals without the explanation of the symbol are provided, separately
attach an explanatory note regarding the symbol to each manual of the devices.

The requirements apply to batteries and/or devices with built-in batteries manufactured before the enforcement date of the
new EU Battery Directive(2006/66/EC).
