DANGER
Never open the front case or terminal covers while the power is ON or the unit is running, as
this may lead to electric shocks.
Never run the unit with the front case or terminal cover removed. The high v oltage t erminal and
charged sections will be exposed and may lead to electric shocks.
Never open the front case or terminal cover at times other than wiring work or periodic
inspections even if the power is OFF. The insides of the Motion controller and servo amplifier
are charged and may lead to electric shocks.
When performing wiring work or inspections, turn the power OFF, wait at least ten minutes, and
then check the voltage with a tester, et c.. Failing t o do so may lead to electr ic shocks.
Be sure to ground the Motion controller, servo amplifier and servomotor. (Ground resistance :
or less) Do not ground commonly with other devices.
100
The wiring work and inspections must be done by a qualified technician.
Wire the units after installing the Motion controller, servo amplifier and serv omotor. Failing to do
so may lead to electric shocks or damage.
Never operate the switches with wet hands, as this may lead t o electric shocks.
Do not damage, apply excessive stress, place heavy things on or sandwich t he cables, as t his
may lead to electric shocks.
Do not touch the Motion controller, servo amplifier or servomotor terminal blocks while the
power is ON, as this may lead to electric shocks.
Do not touch the internal power supply, internal grounding or signal wires of the Mot ion
controller and servo amplifier, as this may lead to electric shocks.

CAUTION
Construct a safety circuit externally of the Motion controller or serv o amplifier if the abnormal
operation of the Motion controller or servo amplifier differ from the safety directive operation in
the system.
The ratings and characteristics of the parts (other than Motion controller, servo amplifier and
servomotor) used in a system must be compatible with the Motion controller, servo amplifier
and servomotor.
Set the parameter values to those that are compatible with the Motion cont roller, serv o amplifier,
servomotor and regenerative resistor model and the system application. The protect ive
functions may not function if the settings are incorrect.

2 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
2.1.3 Function explanation of the Q173CPU(N)/Q172CPU ( N ) M oti on CPU modul es
(1) It is possible to download servo parameters to servo amplifier, turn the servo
ON/OFF, and send the position commands by connecting the Motion CPU
(Q173CPU(N)/Q172CPU(N)) and the servo amplifier with the SSCNET cable.
(2) It is possible to select the servo control functions/programming languages by
installing the corresponding operating system software on the Q173CPU(N)/
Q172CPU(N).
(3) It is possible to use stroke limit signals connected to Q172LX and signals of serial
encoders connected to Q172EX, etc. for the purpose of motion control by setting
the Q173CPU(N)/Q172CPU(N) as the control CPU of various motion modules
(Q172LX/Q172EX, etc.) .
(4) It is possible to perform not only servo control but also DI/O input/output control
according to programs implemented in the Motion SFC program by setting the
Q173CPU(N)/Q172CPU(N) as the control CPU of the Q series PLC I/O module
(When using the Motion SFC as the operating system software).
(For information about the Q series PLC I/O modules that can be controlled by the
Motion CPUs, refer to section 2.2 (2). )
(5) It is possible to exchange data such as automatic refresh among CPU as the Q
series PLC multiple CPU system.
(6) There is no restriction on the positions at which the modules controlled by the
Motion CPU (Q172LX/Q172EX, etc.) may be installed. Specify the installation
position in the system settings.

2 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
2.1.4 Restrictions on motion systems
(1) It is not allowed to use the Motion CPU as the control CPU of a module installed
on the QA1S6!B extension base unit. A PLC CPU must be used as the control
CPU.
(2) The connector for installation of memory card on the Motion CPU module is for
future function expansion.
(3) The Motion CPU module cannot be used as standalone module. It must always be
used in combination with a PLC CPU (of a version that supports Multiple CPU
systems). Moreover, it must be installed on the right side of the PLC CPU module.
A PLC CPU cannot be installed in a position to the right of a Motion CPU.
(4) Use the PLC CPU in the “Q mode.”
(5) The Motion CPU cannot be set as the control CPU of the intelligent function
module or the Graphic Operation Terminal (GOT).
(6) The SSCNET cable that connects the Motion CPU and the servo amplifiers can
be pulled out from the lower part. Make sure to secure sufficient space for pulling
out the cable when designing the board.
(7) The Motion CPU is one module element of the Q series multiple PLC system. It is
necessary to set the parameters of the Q series multiple PLC system for each
PLC CPU. The Motion CPU module must also be set to support the multiple
system by system setting s.
(8) Make sure to use the Motion CPU as the control CPU of motion modules
dedicated for the Motion CPU (Q172LX, Q172EX, Q173PX, etc.). They will not
operate correctly if a PLC CPU is set and installed as the control CPU by mistake.
The Motion CPU is treated as a 32-point intelligent module by PLC CPUs of other
machines.
It cannot be accessed from other machines.
(9) When a Multiple CPU system is configured, make sure to configure the modules
so that the total current consumption of the individual modules on the CPU base
does not exceed the 5VDC output capacity of the power supply module.
(Refer to section 2.4.2 (3), (4) Power supply module.)
