1. OVERVIEW
1.1 Overview
This user’s manual describes the specifications, configuration device, part
names and setting, and implementation and installation of the QA6ADP QA
conversion adapter module.
For contents that are not described in this manual such as safety precautions,
EMC and low voltage directives, or error code list, refer to QCPU User’s Manual
(Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection) (SH-080483).
The QA6ADP is the adapter module connecting the A (large type) series
extension base unit to the Q series main base unit.

POINT
• The QA6ADP is CE-compliant. To meet the EMC directive, the extension
base unit and module to be used in combination with the QA6ADP should
be CE-compliant.
• When using a control line or communication cable, keep it away from the
main circuit or power line 100mm or more.
Failure to do so may cause malfunction due to noise.

2. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
2.1 System Configuration
This section describes the system configuration and restrictions when the
QA6ADP is used.
(1) The QA6ADP+A5 B/A6B is only applicable for the High Performance
model QCPU (Q02CPU, Q02HCPU, Q06HCPU, Q12HCPU, and
Q25HCPU).
(2) Mount the Q5
from the nearest position of the main base unit.
The QA6ADP cannot be used in combination with the QA1S6
(3) The number of slots of the QA6ADP+A5
slots, regardless of the number of slots of the extension base unit to be
used in combination with the QA6ADP.
Assign the I/O number of a module, putting each series in block and in
order of "Q series
Failure to do so may cause an error (SP.UNITLAY ERR).
In addition, do not duplicate the I/O number.
(4) For the extension stage number setting of the extension base unit, set
stage number (the first to seventh stages) to extension stages from the
one nearest to the main base unit.
(5) An extension cable connectable to the QA6ADP is the Q series extension
cable only.
(6) Set the same stage number to both the stage number setting connector of
the extension base unit and that of the QA6ADP.
(7) The QA6ADP+A5
remote I/O station.
(8) The bus connection with GOT is not available for the QA6ADP+A5
