DANGER
Provide a safety circuit out side the progr ammable logic contr oller so t hat t he entire sy st em will
operate safely even when an external power supply error or PLC fault occurs.
Failure to observe this could lead to accidents for incorrect outputs or malfunctioning.
(1) Configure an emergency stop circuit and interlock circuit such as a positioning upper
limit/lower limit to prevent mechanical damage outside the PLC.
(2) The machine OPR operation is controlled by the OPR direction and OPR speed data.
Deceleration starts when the near-point dog turns ON. Thus, if the OPR direct ion is
incorrectly set, deceleration w ill not star t and t he machine will cont inue to tr av el. Configure
an interlock circuit to prevent mechanical damage outside the PLC.
(3) When the module detects an error, normally deceleration stop or sudden stop w ill take
place according to the parameter stop group settings. Set the parameters to the positioning
system specifications.
Make sure that the OPR parameter and positioning data are within the parameter setting
values.

1.1 Positioning control
1.1.1 Features of QD75
The features of the QD75 are shown below.
(1) Av ailability of one, two, and four axis modules
(2) Wide variety of positioning control functions
MELSEC-Q
(a) One, two and four axis positioning modules are available.
They can be selected according to the PLC CPU type and the number of
required control axes. (Refer to Section 2.2.)
(b) For connecting any of the QD75 modules to the base unit, a single slot and
32 dedicated I/O channels are required.
Within the limit imposed by the maximum number of inputs and outputs
supported by the PLC CPU, up to 64 modules can be used. (Refer to
Section 2.3.)
(a) A wide variety of positioning control functions essential to any positioning
system are supported: positioning to an arbitrary position, fixed-feed
control, equal-speed control, and so on. (Refer to Section 5.3 and 9.2.)
1) Up to 600 positioning data items, including such information as
positioning addresses, control systems, and operation patterns, can be
prepared for each axis.
Using the prepared positioning data, the positioning control is
performed independently for each axis. (In addition, such controls as
interpolation involving two to four axes and simultaneous startup of
multiple axes are possible.)
2) Independent control of each axis can be achieved in linear control
mode (executable simultaneously over four axes).
Such control can either be the independent positioning control using a
single positioning data or the continuous positioning control enabled by
the continuous processing of multiple positioning data.
3) Coordinated control over multiple axes can take the form of either the
linear interpolation through the speed or position control of two to four
axes or the circular interpolation involving two axes.
Such control can either be the independent positioning control using a
single positioning data or the continuous positioning control enabled by
the continuous processing of multiple positioning data.
(b) For each positioning data, the user can specify any of the following control
systems: position control, speed control, speed-position switching control,
position-speed switching control, and so on. (Refer to Section 5.3 and 9.2.)

1 PRODUCT OUTLINE
(3) Quick startup (Refer to Section 3.1.)
(4) SSCNET makes the connection to the servo amplifier possibl e
(5) Easy application to the absolute positi on sy stem
MELSEC-Q
(c) Continuous positioning control using multiple positioning data can be
executed in accordance with the operation patterns the user assigned to
the positioning data. (Refer to Section 5.3 and 9.1.2.)
Continuous positioning control can be executed over multiple blocks, where
each block consists of multiple positioning data. (Refer to Section 10.3.2.)
(d) OPR control is given additional features (Refer to Section 8.2.)
Four different machine OPR methods are provided: the near point dog
method, two count methods, and the data set method.
(e) Two acceleration/deceleration control methods are provided: automatic
trapezoidal acceleration/deceleration and S-pattern acceleration/
deceleration. (Refer to Section 12.7.7.)
A positioning operation starts up quickly taking as little as 6 ms to 7.
When operation using simultaneous start function or interpolation operation is
executed, the axes start without delay.
(Example) Axis 1 and Axis 3 are started by the : No delay in Axis 1 and
simultaneous start function Axis 3 start

used to perform the positioning control without using the PLC program.
Each QD75 positioning module incorporates the following improvements in
maintainability:
(a) Data such as the positioning data and parameters can be stored on a flash
ROM inside the QD75, eliminating the need of a battery for retaining data.
(Refer to Section 7.1.1.)
(b) Error messages are classified in more detail to facilitate the initial
troubleshooting procedure. (Refer to Section 15.1.)
(c) The module retains 16 error messages and 16 warning messages recently
output, offering more complete error and warning histories.
(Refer to Section 5.6.1.)
Dedicated instructions such as the positioning start instruction, and teaching
instruction are provided.
The use of such dedicated instruction simplifies PLC programs.(Refer to Chapter
14.)
Using GX Configurator-QP, the user can control the QD75 parameters and
positioning data without having to be conscious of the buffer memory addresses.
Moreover, GX Configurator-QP has a test function which allows the user to check
the wiring before creating a PLC program for positioning control, or test operation
the QD75 using created parameters and positioning data for checking their
integrity.
The control monitor function of GX Configurator-QP allows the user to debug
programs efficiently.

user-specified method, acceleration time and deceleration time.
(1) Acceleration/deceleration method
MELSEC-Q
There are two types of acceleration and deceleration processing: the automatic
trapezoidal acceleration/deceleration processing method and S-pattern
acceleration/deceleration processing method. A detailed parameter is used to set
which method is used. The specified acceleration/deceleration method is applied
to all accelerations and decelerations when starting and completing positioning
processing, OPR processing and JOG processing, as well as when changing the
speed.
(a) Automatic trapezoidal acceleration/deceleration processing method
This is a method in which linear acceleration/deceleration is carried out
based on the acceleration time, deceleration time, and speed limit value set
by the user.
This method reduces the load on the motor when starting and stopping.
This is a method in which acceleration/deceleration is carried out gradually,

The QD75 has several functions. In this manual, the QD75 functions are categorized
and explained as follows.
Main functions
(1) OPR control
"OPR control" is a function that established the start point for carrying out
positioning control, and carries out positioning toward that start point. This is
used to return a workpiece, located at a position other than the OP when the
power is turned ON or after positioning stop, to the OP. The "OPR control" is
preregistered in the QD75 as the "Positioning start data No. 9001 (Machine
OPR)", and "Positioning start data No. 9002 (Fast OPR). (Refer to Chapter 8
"OPR Control".)
(2) Major positioning control
This control is carried out using the "Positioning data" stored in the QD75.
Positioning control, such as position control and speed control, is executed by
setting the required items in this "positioning data" and starting that positioning
data. An "operation pattern" can be set in this "positioning data", and with this
whether to carry out control with continuous positioning data (ex.: positioning
data No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, ...) can be set. (Refer to Chapter 9 "Major Positioning
Control".)
(3) High-level positioning control
This control executes the "positioning data" stored in the QD75 using the
"block start data". The following types of applied positioning control can be
carried out.
•
Random blocks, handling several continuing positioning data items as
"blocks", can be executed in the designated order.
•
"Condition judgment" can be added to position control and speed control.
•
The operation of the designated positioning data No. that is set for multiple
axes can be started simultaneously. (Pulses are output simultaneously to
multiple servos.)
•
The designated positioning data can be executed repeatedly, etc.,
(Refer to Chapter 10 "High-level Positioning Control".)
(4) Manual control
By inputting a signal into the QD75 from an external device, the QD75 will
output a random pulse train and carry out control. Use this manual control to
move the workpiece to a random position (JOG operation), and to finely adjust
the positioning (inching operation, manual pulse generator operation), etc.
(Refer to Chapter 11 "Manual Control".)
Sub functions
When executing the main functions, control compensation, limits and functions can
be added. (Refer to Chapter 12 "Control Sub Functions".)
Common functions
Common control using the QD75 for "parameter initialization" or "backup of
execution data" can be carried out. (Refer to Chapter 13 "Common Functions".)

carried out even if the axis is not returned to before the nearpoint dog with JOG operation, etc.
After returning to the machine OP, this function compensates
the position by the designated distance from the machine OP
position and sets that position as the OP address.
This function compensates the mechanical backlash. Feed
pulses equivalent to the set backlash amount are output each
time the movement direction changes.
By setting the movement amount per pulse, this function can
freely change the machine movement amount per commanded
pulse.
When the movement amount per pulse is set, a flexible
positioning system that matches the machine system can be

when a positioning or JOG operation is started. Once the operation has started, any
modification to the data is ignored.
Exceptionally, however, modifications to the following are valid even when they are
made during a positioning operation: acceleration time 0 to 3, deceleration time 0 to
3, and external start command.
• Acceleration time 0 to 3 and deceleration time 0 to 3:
Positioning data are pre-read and pre-analyzed. Modifications to the
data four or more steps after the current step are valid.
Monitor data(Data that indicates the control state. Stored in the buffer memory, and monitors as necessary.)
• External command function selection: The value at the time of detection is valid.

" Deceleration start flag valid" is valid for only the value at the time
when the PLC READY signal [Y0] turns from OFF to ON.
POINT
(1) The "setting data" is created for each axis.
(2) The "setting data" parameters have determined default values, and are set to
the default values before shipment from the factory. (Parameters related to
axes that are not used are left at the default value.)
(3) The "setting data" can be initialized with GX Configurator-QP or the PLC
program.
(4) It is recommended to set the "setting data" with GX Configurator-QP. When
executed with the PLC program, many PLC programs and devices must be
used. This will not only complicate the program, but will also increase the scan
time.
