[Design Precautions]
WARNING
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) Emergency stop circuits, protection circuits, and protective interlock circuits for conflicting
operations (such as forward/reverse rotations or upper/lower limit positioning) must be configured external to the programmable controller.
(2) Machine OPR (Original Point Return) of the positioning function is controlled by two kinds of
data: an OPR direction and an OPR speed. Deceleration starts when the near-point watchdog signal turns on. If an incorrect OPR direction is set, motion control may continue without deceleration. To prevent machine damage caused by this, configure an interlock circuit external to the programmable controller.
(3) When the CPU module detects an error during control by the positioning function, the motion
slows down and stops.
(4) When the programmable controller detects an abnormal condition, it stops the operation and all
outputs are:
• Turned off if the overcurrent or overvoltage protection of the power supply module is activated.
• Held or turned off according to the parameter setting if the self-diagnostic function of the CPU module detects an error such as a watchdog timer error.
Also, all outputs may be turned on if an error occurs in a part, such as an 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 the MELSEC-L CPU Module User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection).
(5) Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of a component such as a transistor in an output
circuit. Configure an external circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a serious accident.
In an output circuit, 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.
Configure a circuit so that the external power supply is turned off first and then the programmable controller. If the programmable controller is turned off 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 each network. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a communication failure may result in an accident.

[Design Precautions]
WARNING
When changing data from a peripheral device connected to the CPU module to the running
programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification or operating status change) of a running programmable controller, read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding. Especially, when a remote programmable controller is controlled by an external device, immediate action cannot be taken if a problem occurs in the programmable controller due to a communication failure. To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the program, and determine corrective actions to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a communication failure.
An absolute position restoration by the positioning function may turn off the servo-on signal (servo
off) for approximately 20ms, and the motor may run unexpectedly. If this causes a problem, provide an electromagnetic brake to lock the motor during absolute position restoration.

[Design Precautions]
CAUTION
Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction due to noise.
During control of an inductive load such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve, a large current (approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from off to on. Therefore, use a module that has a sufficient current rating.
After the CPU module is powered on or is reset, the time taken to enter the RUN status varies depending on the system configuration, parameter settings, and/or program size. Design circuits so that the entire system will always operate safely, regardless of the time.
[Installation Precautions]
WARNING
Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing a module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
CAUTION
Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications in the MELSEC-L CPU Module User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection). Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of the product.
To interconnect modules, engage the respective connectors and securely lock the module joint levers. Incorrect interconnection may cause malfunction, failure, or drop of the module.
Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module. Doing so can cause malfunction or failure of the module.
Securely connect an extension cable to the connectors of a branch module and an extension module. After connections, check that the cable is inserted completely. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
When using an SD memory card, fully insert it into the SD memory card slot. Check that it is inserted completely. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module or SD memory card. Doing so can cause malfunction or failure of the module.
[Wiring Precautions]
WARNING
Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before wiring. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
After installation and wiring, attach the included terminal cover to the module before turning it on for operation. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
A - 4
Page 7
[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
Individually ground the FG and LG terminals of the programmable controller with a ground
resistance of 100 or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.
Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them within the specified torque range. If any spade
solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when a terminal block screw comes loose, resulting in failure.
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 wiring may cause a fire or failure.
Connectors for external devices must be crimped or pressed with the tool specified by the
manufacturer, or must be correctly soldered. Incomplete connections may cause short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
Securely connect the connector to the module.
Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction due to noise.
Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be pulled,
resulting in damage to the module or cables or malfunction due to poor contact.
Check the interface type and correctly connect the cable. Incorrect wiring (connecting the cable to an
incorrect interface) may cause failure of the module and external device.
Tighten the terminal block screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause short
circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
When disconnecting the cable from the module, do not pull the cable by the cable part. For the cable
with connector, hold the connector part of the cable. For the cable connected to the terminal block, loosen the terminal screw. Pulling the cable connected to the module may result in malfunction or damage to the module or cable.
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.
To use the high-speed counter function, ground the shield cable on the encoder side (relay box) with
a ground resistance of 100 or less. Failure to do so may cause malfunction.
Mitsubishi programmable controllers must be installed in 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 qualified maintenance personnel with knowledge of protection against electric shock. For wiring methods, refer to the MELSEC-L CPU Module User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection).

[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
WARNING
Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction.
Correctly connect the battery connector. Do not charge, disassemble, heat, short-circuit, solder, or
throw the battery into the fire. Also, do not expose it to liquid or strong shock. Doing so will cause the battery to produce heat, explode, ignite, or leak, resulting in injury and fire.
Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before cleaning the module or retightening the terminal block screws or the connector screws. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
CAUTION
Before performing online operations (especially, program modification, forced output, and operating status change) for the running CPU module from the peripheral device connected, read relevant manuals carefully and ensure the safety. Improper operation may damage machines or cause accidents.
Do not disassemble or modify the modules. Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.
Use any radio communication device such as a cellular phone or PHS (Personal Handy-phone
System) more than 25cm away in all directions from the programmable controller. Failure to do so may cause malfunction.
Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing a module. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
Tighten the terminal block screws and the connector screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause drop of the component or wire, short circuit, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, or malfunction.
After the first use of the product (module, display unit, and terminal block), the number of connections/disconnections is limited to 50 times (in accordance with IEC 61131-2). Exceeding the limit may cause malfunction.
After the first use of the SD memory card, the number of insertions/removals is limited to 500 times. Exceeding the limit 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 conducting object such as a grounded metal to discharge the static electricity from the human body. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.

1.1 Advantages of Transition to L Series

Advantage 1) Advanced performance of equipments (shortened takt time)
In addition to the processing performance improvement for L series CPU, the processing speed for L series intelligent function module is also increased, so that the equipment capability to improve is possible.
Advantage 2) Baseless, flexible composition
The L series does not require a main base unit and can be installed in a minimum space without restrictions of the base unit size. Even when a module is added, the number of modules is not constrained by the number of base slots, therefore the system cost such as addition of an extension base unit can be suppressed.
Advantage 3) Improved operating efficiency for programming and monitoring
The intelligent function module operation of GX Works2 can be used on the L series intelligent function module. Though using the intelligent function module operation of GX Works2 is not required, the use enables the following and can reduce sequence programs.
• Initial setting is possible without a program.
• The auto refresh setting allows to read/write buffer memory data of intelligent function module automatically from/to the CPU device memory.
• Checking of the setting status or operating status of intelligent function module is simplified.

1.2 Precautions for Transition

(1) When replacing the AnS/QnAS series with the L series, be sure to read the manuals of each L
series module and confirm the functions, specifications, and how to use before using the L series.
(2) After the AnS/QnAS series is replaced with the L series, be sure to verify the operation of the
entire system before the start of operations.

The conversion speed of L60AD4 is faster than A1S68AD. Therefore, noise which were not imported to A1S68AD can be imported as analog signals. In this case, use the averaging processing function to remove the effect of noise.
Consider of replacing with several L60AD4 modules.
The number of occupied I/O points is changed to 16 points.

Wiring needs to be changed.
Recalculation of internal current consumption (5VDC) is required.

Sets whether to enable or disable the A/D conversion for each channel. By disabling the conversion for the channels that are not used, the sampling time can be shortened.
Performs the A/D conversion for analog input values successively for each channel, and outputs digital output values upon each conversion.
For each channel, averages A/D conversion values by the amount of time, and outputs the average value as a digital value.
For each channel, averages A/D conversion values by the number of times, and outputs the average value as a digital value.
For each channel, averages A/D conversion values by the number of times on a moving of each sampling processing, and outputs the average value as a digital value.
Extends the input range. By combining this function with the input signal error detection function, simple disconnection detection can be executed.
Stores the maximum and minimum values of the digital output values in the module.
Detects the analog input value which exceeds the setting range.
Extends the detection method of the input signal error detection function. Use this function to detect the input signal error only in the lower limit or upper limit, or to execute the disconnection detection.
Outputs an alarm when a digital output value is within the range set in advance.
Sets the resolution according to the application. The resolution
mode setting is applicable to all channels.
Scale-converts the output digital value to the set range of the scaling upper limit value and scaling lower limit value. This omits the programming of the scale conversion.
Adds the set shifting amount of the conversion value to the scaling value (digital operation value) and stores the value in the buffer memory. Fine adjustment can be performed easily when the system starts.
Sets the maximum value of the scaling value (digital operation value) to 20000 and the minimum value to 0 or -20000 when the input voltage or current exceeds the input range.
Subtracts the difference conversion reference value from the scaling value (digital operation value) and stores the acquired value in the buffer memory.
Logs the digital output value or scaling value (digital operation value). The data of 10000 points can be logged for each channel.
Performs the A/D conversion of analog input value (voltage or current) from a source such as a flow meter and integrates the digital output value.
Stores the errors and alarms occurred in the A/D converter module to the buffer memory as a history. Up to 16 errors and alarms can be stored.
Collects the errors and alarms occurred in the A/D converter module and stores them in the CPU module.

Sets whether to enable or disable the A/D conversion. By disabling the conversion for the channels that are not used, the sampling time can be shortened.
Performs the A/D conversion for analog input values successively for each channel, and outputs digital output values upon each conversion.
For each channel, averages A/D conversion values by the amount of time, and outputs the average value as a digital value.
For each channel, averages A/D conversion values by the number of times, and outputs the average value as a digital value.
For each channel, averages A/D conversion values by the number of times on a moving of each sampling processing, and outputs the average value as a digital value.
Extends the input range. By combining this function with the input signal error detection function, simple disconnection detection can be executed.
Stores the maximum and minimum values of the digital output values in the module.
Detects the analog input value which exceeds the setting range.
Extends the detection method of the input signal error detection function. Use this function to detect the input signal error only in the lower limit or upper limit, or to execute the disconnection detection.
Outputs an alarm when a digital output value is within the range set in advance.
Sets the resolution according to the application. The resolution
mode setting is applicable to all channels.
Scale-converts the output digital value to the set range of the scaling upper limit value and scaling lower limit value. This omits the programming of the scale conversion.
Adds the set shifting amount of the conversion value to the scaling value (digital operation value) and stores the value in the buffer memory. Fine adjustment can be performed easily when the system starts.
Sets the maximum value of the scaling value (digital operation value) to 20000 and the minimum value to 0 or -20000 when the input voltage or current exceeds the input range.
Subtracts the difference conversion reference value from the scaling value (digital operation value) and stores the acquired value in the buffer memory.
Logs the digital output value or scaling value (digital operation value). The data of 10000 points can be logged for each channel.
Stores the errors and alarms occurred in the A/D converter module to the buffer memory as a history. Up to 16 errors and alarms can be stored.
Collects the errors and alarms occurred in the A/D converter module and stores them in the CPU module.
Clears the error from the system monitor window of the programming tool.
Saves and restores the offset/gain values in the user setting range.

Precautions for replacement
The setting range of average time and count differs. Refer to the MELSEC-L Analog­Digital Converter Module User's Manual, and check the specifications.
By setting the same scaling upper limit value and scaling lower limit value as the resolution of A1S68AD, the same digital output values as A1S68AD can be used.

This function can be used on GX Works2.

*1 For the A1S68AD, the resolution is 1/4000 (fixed).
For the L60ADVL8 or L60ADIL8, the resolution is fixed by each analog input range. To use the same digital value that is
used for the A1S68AD, set the scaling upper and lower limit values that match the resolution of the A1S68AD using the
scaling function.
*2 When the logging function is used with the L60ADVL8 or L60ADIL8, use the data logging function of a CPU module. For the
function of the CPU module, refer to the following.

*1 For the A1S62DA, the resolution setting can be selected from 1/4000, 1/8000, and 1/12000 for both voltage and current
inputs.
The L60DA4, however, does not support the resolution mode. To use the same digital value that is used for the A1S62DA,
set the scaling upper and lower limit values that match the resolution of the A1S62DA using the scaling function.
Since the resolution differs between AnS series and L series modules, it needs to be matched
using a sequence program, user range settings, or the scaling function. (Refer to Appendix 3.)
By setting the same scaling upper limits and scaling lower limits as the
resolution of A1S62DA, the same digital output values as A1S62DA can be used.
This function can be used on the GX Works2.

D/A output enable/disable function
Range switching function Sets the output range to be used.
Offset/gain setting function Corrects errors in analog output values.
Analog output HOLD/ CLEAR function
Sets whether to enable or disable D/A conversion for each channel.
Sets whether to output the D/A conversion value or the offset value for each channel. The conversion speed is constant, regardless of the output enable/ disable status.
Sets the status of analog output values (HOLD or CLEAR), according to the CPU module operating status (RUN, STOP, or stop error).
Outputs the converted analog values when CH Output enable/ disable flag is forcibly turned on while the CPU module is in the STOP status.
: Available, –: Not available
With the L60DA4, disabling the D/A conversion for an unused channel reduces the conversion cycles.
The A1S68DAV is set the status for all channels at once using the HLD/ CLR terminal on the front of the module. With L60DA4, HOLD/CLEAR is set for each channel.

Sets the resolution according to the application.
Scale-converts the input digital value to the set range of the scaling upper limit value and scaling lower limit value. This omits the programming of the scale conversion.
Turns on when the external power supply (24VDC) is supplied. When this flag is off, the analog output value becomes 0V/0mA regardless of other settings.
Stores the errors and alarms occurred in the D/A converter module to the buffer memory as a history. Up to 16 errors and alarms can be stored.
Collects the errors and alarms occurred in the D/A converter module and stores them in the CPU module.
Clears the error from the system monitor window of the programming tool.
Saves and restores the offset/gain values in the user setting range.
*1
*1 For the A1S68DAV, the mode is fixed at 1/4000 (-2000 to 2000).
For the L60DA4, the resolution is 1/20000 (fixed). To use the same digital value that is used for the A1S68DAV, set the
scaling upper and lower limit values that match the resolution of the A1S68DAV using the scaling function.
Since the resolution differs between AnS series and L series modules, it needs to be matched using a sequence program, user range settings, or the scaling function. (Refer to Appendix 3.)
By setting the same scaling upper limits and scaling lower limits as the resolution of A1S68DAV, the same digital output values as A1S68DAV can be used.
This function can be used on the GX Works2.

Sets whether to enable or disable A/D conversion for each channel. By disabling the conversion for the channels that are not used, the sampling time can be shortened.
Performs the A/D conversion for analog input values successively for each channel, and outputs digital output values upon each conversion.
For each channel, averages A/D conversion values by the amount of time, and outputs the average value as a digital value.
For each channel, averages A/D conversion values by the number of times, and outputs the average value as a digital value.
For each channel, averages A/D conversion values by the number of times on a moving of each sampling processing, and outputs the average value as a digital value.
Extends the input range. By combining this function with the input signal error detection function, simple disconnection detection can be executed.
Stores the maximum and minimum values of the digital output values in the module.
Detects the analog input value which exceeds the setting range.
Scale-converts the digital output value to the set range of the A/ D conversion scaling upper limit value and A/D conversion scaling lower limit value. This omits the programming of the scale conversion.
Logs the digital output value or scaling value (digital operation value). The data of 10000 points can be logged for each channel.
: Available, –: Not available
The setting range of average time and count differ. Refer to the MELSEC-L Analog I/O Module User's Manual, and check the specifications.
To use the same digital output value that is used for the A1S63ADA, set the scaling
upper and lower limit values that match the resolution of the A1S63ADA using the scaling function.

Sets whether to enable or disable D/A conversion for each channel.
Sets whether to output the D/A conversion value or the offset value for each channel. The conversion speed is constant, regardless of the output enable/disable status.
Sets the status of analog output values (HOLD or CLEAR), according to the CPU module operating status (RUN, STOP, or stop error).
Outputs the D/A converted analog values when CH Output enable/disable flag is forcibly turned on while the CPU module is in the STOP status.
: Available, –: Not available
With the L60AD2DA2, disabling the D/A conversion for an unused channel reduces the conversion cycles.
The A1S63ADA is set the status for all channels at once using the HLD/CLR terminal on the front of the module. With the L60AD2DA2, the status can be set for each channel on the Switch Setting window of GX Works2.

on the front of the module. With the L60AD2DA2, HOLD/ CLEAR can be set for each channel.
: Available, –: Not available
This function can be used on the GX Works2.
*1 For the A1S63ADA, the resolution setting can be selected from 1/4000, 1/8000, and 1/12000 for both voltage and current
inputs.
The L60AD2DA2, however, does not support the resolution mode. To use the same digital value that is used for the
A1S63ADA, set the scaling upper and lower limit values that match the resolution of the A1S63ADA using the scaling
function.
Replacement module L60AD2DA2 does not have the simple loop control (function expression) function. When the simple loop control (function expression) function is used with A1S63ADA, the sequence program needs to be addressed. (Refer to Section 4.1)
