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

Overcurrent or overvoltage protection of the power supply module is activated.

The CPU module detects an error such as

a watchdog timer error by the

self-diagnostic function.

Q series module AnS/A series module

All outputs are turned off All outputs are turned off

All outputs are held or

turned off according to the

parameter setting.

All outputs are turned off

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 Chapter 10 LOADING AND INSTALLATION in the QCPU User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection).

(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 the QCPU 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 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 the relevant sections in the QCPU User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection) 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

Ground the FG and LG terminals to the protective ground conductor dedicated to the programmable controller. 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 the terminal 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 connection must be crimped or pressed with the tool specified by the manufacturer, or must be correctly soldered. Incomplete connections could result in short circuit, fire, or malfunction.

Tighten the terminal screw 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, 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 - 5

[Wiring Precautions]

DANGER

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 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 maintenance personnel who is familiar with protection against electric shock. (For wiring methods, refer to the QCPU User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection)).

[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]

DANGER

Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock.

Correctly connect the battery connector. Do not charge, disassemble, heat, short-circuit, solder, or throw the battery into the fire. Doing so will cause the battery to produce heat, explode, or ignite, resulting in injury and fire.

Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases before cleaning the module or retightening the terminal screws or module fixing screws. Failure to do so may result in electric shock. Undertightening the terminal screws can cause short circuit or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, or malfunction.

For control in the multiple CPU system, it is necessary to set up the "Number of mounted CPU modules" and the

"Control CPU" with PLC parameter for all CPU modules mounted on the main base unit.

User's Manual (Function Explanation, Program Fundamentals) for the CPU module used

(5) Access range of multiple CPU system

In the multiple CPU system, the access ranges are different between the controlled module and the non-con-

trolled module.

(a) Controlled module

The multiple CPU system's control CPU can refresh the I/O data of controlled modules and read/write the

buffer memory data of intelligent function modules in the same way as in a single CPU system.

(b) Non-controlled module

It is possible to access non-controlled modules in the following ways.

• Refreshing the input for I/O modules, I/O composite module and intelligent function modules

(the PLC parameter's multiple CPU setup is necessary.)

• Reading the intelligent function module's buffer memory.

• Downloading the output data from the output module, the I/O composite module and the intelligent func-

tion modules.

(the PLC parameter's multiple CPU setup is necessary.)

However, it is not possible to access non-controlled modules in the following ways.

• Outputting data to output modules, I/O composite module and intelligent function modules.

• Writing data into the intelligent function module's buffer memory.

CHAPTER1 OUTLINE

1.2 Features of multiple CPU system

(1) Multi-control system

(a) Configuration optimum for system

Since each system uses not only one QCPU but any combinations of the QCPU, Motion CPU, and PC CPU

module according to the system, the development efficiency and ease of maintenance of the system can be

enhanced.

(b) Module control

Each CPU module in the multiple CPU system controls the I/O module and intelligent function module on the

base unit by each slot.

GX Developer groups the I/O modules and intelligent function modules controlled by each CPU module in the

multiple CPU system.

(2) Sequence control and motion control systems can be configured on the same

base.

In a Multiple CPU System consisting of the QCPU and Motion CPU, sequence control and motion control can be

implemented together to achieve a high-level motion system.

Precautions

• Do not use an extension cable longer than 13.2m (43.31 ft).

• When using an extension cable, keep it away from the main circuit (high voltage and large current) line.

• Set the number of extension stages so as not to be duplicated.

• The QA1S6 B, QA6 B, QA6ADP+A5 B/A6 B, or Q6R B cannot be connected as an extension base

unit.

• Although there is no restriction on the connection order of the Q5 B and the Q6 B, check the availability of

them by referring to QCPU User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection) when both the

Q5 B and the Q6 B exist as the extension base unit.

• Connect the OUT connector of an extension base unit and the IN connector of the adjacent extension base

unit by an extension cable.

• When 26 modules or more are mounted, an error "SP. UNIT LAY ERR." (error code: 2124) occurs. (The

number of mountable modules includes one CPU module.)

• The redundant base unit cannot be used when the Basic model QCPU is mounted on the multiple CPU

system.

• "No. of CPUs" is the number of CPUs set by [No. of PLC] of GX Developer.

• The PC CPU module occupies two slots. Therefore, when the PC CPU module is used, the maximum

number of I/O modules is decreased by 1 from the value indicated in Table2.1.

• The PC CPU module and C Controller module cannot be mounted together: therefore; mount either of them.

• For details of the Motion CPU, PC CPU module, and C Controller module, refer to the manuals of each CPU

module.

Precautions

• Do not use an extension cable longer than 13.2m (43.31 ft).

• When using an extension cable, keep it away from the main circuit (high voltage and large current) line.

• Set the number of extension stages so as not to be duplicated.

• The QA1S6 B, QA6 B, QA6ADP+A5 B/A6 B, or Q6R B cannot be connected as an extension base

unit.

• Although there is no restriction on the connection order of the Q5 B and the Q6 B, check the availability of

them by referring to QCPU User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection) when both the

Q5 B and the Q6 B exist as the extension base unit.

• Connect the OUT connector of an extension base unit and the IN connector of the adjacent extension base

unit by an extension cable.

• When 26 modules or more are mounted, an error "SP. UNIT LAY ERR." (error code: 2124) occurs. (The

number of mountable modules includes one CPU module.)

• The redundant base unit cannot be used when the Basic model QCPU is mounted on the multiple CPU

system.

• "No. of CPUs" is the number of CPUs set by [No. of PLC] of GX Developer.

• The PC CPU module occupies two slots. Therefore, when the PC CPU module is used, the maximum

number of I/O modules is decreased by 1 from the value indicated in Table2.3.

• The PC CPU module and C Controller module cannot be mounted together: therefore; mount either of them.

For details of the Motion CPU, PC CPU module, and C Controller module, refer to the manuals of each CPU

module.

• When using an extension cable, keep it away from the main circuit (high voltage

• and large current) line.

• Set the number of extension stages so as not to be duplicated.

• Although there is no restriction on the connection order of the Q5 B and the Q6 B, check the availability of

them by referring to QCPU User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection) when both the

Q5 B and the Q6 B exist as the extension base unit.

• The QA1S6 B, QA6 B, QA6ADP+A5 B/A6 B, or Q6R B cannot be connected as an extension base

unit.

• Connect the OUT connector of an extension base unit and the IN connector of the adjacent extension base

unit by an extension cable.

• When 66 modules or more are mounted, an error "SP. UNIT LAY ERR." (error code: 2124) occurs. (The

number of mountable modules includes one CPU module.)

• "No. of CPUs" is the number of CPUs set by [No. of PLC] of GX Developer.

• When mounting the Universal model QCPU and the PC CPU module at the same time, use the PPC-

CPU852 (MS)-512 as the PC CPU module.

• The PC CPU module and C Controller module cannot be mounted together: therefore; mount either of them.

• The PC CPU module occupies two slots. Therefore, when the PC CPU module is used, the maximum

number of I/O modules is decreased by 1 from the value indicated in the table.

• For details of the PC CPU module and C Controller module, refer to the manuals of each CPU module.

Precautions

• Do not use an extension cable longer than 13.2m (43.31 ft).

• When using an extension cable, keep it away from the main circuit (high voltage and large current) line.

• Set the number of extension stages so as not to be duplicated.

• Although there is no restriction on the connection order of the Q5 B and the Q6 RB, check the availability

of them by referring to QCPU User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection).

• The QA1S6 B, QA6 B, QA6ADP+A5 B/A6 B, or Q6 RB cannot be connected as an extension base

unit.

• Connect the OUT connector of an extension base unit and the IN connector of the adjacent extension base

unit by an extension cable.

• When 66 modules or more (26 modules or more for the Q00UCPU or Q01UCPU, 38 modules or more for the

Q02UCPU) are mounted, an error "SP. UNIT LAY ERR." (error code: 2124) occurs. (The number of

mountable modules includes one CPU module.)

• "No. of CPUs" is the number of CPUs set by [No. of PLC] of GX Developer.

• The PC CPU module and C Controller module cannot be mounted together: therefore; mount either of them.

• The PC CPU module occupies two slots. Therefore, when the PC CPU module is used, the maximum

number of I/O modules is decreased by 1 from the value indicated in the Table2.9.

• For details of the Motion CPU, C Controller module, and PC CPU module, refer to the manuals of each CPU

module.

(2) Precautions when using Q Series I/O modules and intelligent function modules

(a) Compatible I/O modules

All I/O modules (QX , QY ) are compatible with the multiple CPU system.

They can be used by setting any of CPU No.1 to No.4 as a control CPU.

(b) Compatible intelligent function modules

1) The intelligent function modules compatible with the multiple CPU system are those of function version B or

later.

They can be used by setting any of CPU No.1 to No.4 as a control CPU.

2) Q Series high speed counter modules (QD62, QD62D, QD62E) compatible with the multiple CPU system

are those of function version A or later.

They can be used by setting any of CPU No.1 to No.4 as a control CPU.

3) Q Series interrupt modules (QI60) do not have a function version, but are supported by the multiple CPU

system.

CPUs No.1 to No.4 can be set up as control CPUs.

4) Intelligent function modules of function version A can be used in the multiple CPU system by setting CPU

No.1 as a control CPU.

However, only control CPU can be accessed from serial communication modules and other external

modules. (MELSECNET/H, serial communication modules and other external modules cannot access non-

control CPUs.)

The "SP. UNIT VER. ERR. (error code: 2150)" occurs if any of CPU No.2 to No.4 has been set as a control

CPU, and the multiple CPU system will not start up.

In a multiple CPU system, non-controlled modules can be accessed by setting "Out-of-group I/O setting" at the

"Multiple CPU settings" dialog box in "PLC Parameter".

Refer to Section 3.4 for the details about accessibility to the controlled and non-controlled modules in the

multiple CPU system.

When all of the following conditions 1) to 4) are met, use a MELSECNET/H module whose first five digits of serial No. is "10042" or later.
