For Safe Operations
1. Prevention of electric shocks
!
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.
2. For fire prevention
!
CAUTION
Install the Motion controller, servo amplifier, servomotor and regenerative resist or on
inflammable material. Direct installation on flammable material or near flammable material may
lead to fires. If a fault occurs in the Motion controller or servo amplifier, shut the power OFF at the servo
amplifier’s power source. If a large current continues to flow, fires may occur. When using a regenerative resistor, shut the power OFF with an error signal. The regenerative
resistor may abnormally overheat due to a fault in the regenerative t ransistor, etc., and may
lead to fires. Always take heat measures such as flame proofing for the inside of the control panel where
the servo amplifier or regenerativ e resistor is installed and for t he wires used. Failing to do so
may lead to fires.
A - 2
3. For injury prevention
!
CAUTION
Do not apply a voltage other than that specified in the instruction manual on any terminal.
Doing so may lead to destruction or damage. Do not mistake the terminal connections, as this may lead to destruction or damage. Do not mistake the polarity ( + / - ), as this may lead to destruction or damage. Do not touch the servo amplifier's heat radiating fins, regenerative resistor and servomotor, et c.,
while the power is ON and for a short time after the power is turned OFF. In this timing, these
parts become very hot and may lead to burns. Always turn the power OFF before touching the servomotor shaft or coupled machines, as
these parts may lead to injuries. Do not go near the machine during test operations or during operations such as teaching.
Doing so may lead to injuries.
4. Various precautions
Strictly observe the following precautions. Mistaken handling of the unit may lead to faults, injuries or electric shocks.
(1) System structure
!
CAUTION
Always install a leakage breaker on the Motion controller and servo amplifier power source.
If installation of a magnetic contactor for power shut off during an error, etc., is specified in the
instruction manual for the servo amplifier, etc., always install the magnetic cont actor. Install the emergency stop circuit externally so that the operat ion can be stopped immediately
and the power shut off. Use the Motion controller, servo amplifier, servomotor and regenerative resistor with t he combi-
nations listed in the instruction manual. Other combinations may lead to fires or faults. If safety standards (ex., robot safety rules, etc., ) apply to the sy stem using the Motion cont roller,
servo amplifier and servomotor, make sure that the safety standards are satisfied. 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. In systems where coasting of the serv omotor w ill be a problem during t he emergency stop, the
forced stop, servo OFF or when the power is shut OFF, use dy namic brakes. Make sure that the system considers the coasting amount even when using dynamic brakes.
A - 3
!
CAUTION
In systems where perpendicular shaft dropping may be a problem during the emergency stop,
the forced stop and servo OFF or when the power is shut OFF, use bot h dynamic brakes and
magnetic brakes. The dynamic brakes must be used only during the emergency stop, the forced stop and errors
where servo OFF occurs. These brakes must not be used for normal braking. The brakes (magnetic brakes) assembled into the servomotor are for holding applications, and
must not be used for normal braking. The system must have a mechanical allowance so that the machine itself can stop even if the
stroke limits switch is passed through at the max. speed. Use wires and cables that have a wire diameter, heat resistance and bending resistance
compatible with the system.
Use wires and cables within the length of the range described in the instruction manual.
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. Install a cover on the shaft so that the rotary part s of the servomotor are not t ouched during
operation. There may be some cases where holding by the magnetic brakes is not possible due to the
life or mechanical structure (when the ball screw and servomotor are connected with a timing
belt, etc.). Install a stopping device t o ensure safety on the machine side.
(2) Parameter settings and prog r amming
!
CAUTION
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. The regenerative resistor model and capacity parameters must be set to values that conform to
the operation mode, servo amplifier and servo power supply module. The protective functions
may not function if the settings are incorrect. Set the mechanical brake output and dynamic brake output validity parameters to v alues that
are compatible with the system application. The protective functions may not function if the
settings are incorrect. Set the stroke limit input validity parameter to a v alue that is compatible with t he sy stem
application. The protective functions may not function if the setting is incorrect.
A - 4
!
CAUTION
Set the servomotor encoder type (increment, absolute position ty pe, et c.) parameter to a v alue
that is compatible with the system application. The protect ive functions may not function if the
setting is incorrect. Set the servomotor capacity and type (standard, low-inert ia, flat, etc.) parameter t o values t hat
are compatible with the system application. The protective functions may not function if the
settings are incorrect. Set the servo amplifier capacity and type parameters to v alues that are compatible w ith the
system application. The protective functions may not function if the settings are incorrect. Use the program commands for the program with the conditions specified in the instruction
manual. Set the sequence function program capacity setting, device capacity, latch validity range, I/O
assignment setting, and validity of continuous operation during error detection to v alues t hat are
compatible with the system application. The protective functions may not function if the settings
are incorrect. Some devices used in the program have fixed applications, so use these with the conditions
specified in the instruction manual. The input devices and data registers assigned to the link will hold the dat a prev ious to w hen
communication is terminated by an error, etc. Thus, an error correspondence interlock program
specified in the instruction manual must be used. Use the interlock program specified in the special function module's instruction manual for the
program corresponding to the special function module.
(3) Transportation and installation
!
CAUTION
Transport the product with the correct method according to the weight. Use the servomotor suspension bolts only for the transportation of the servomotor. Do not
transport the servomotor with machine installed on it. Do not stack products past the limit. When transporting the Motion controller or servo amplifier,
never hold the connected wires or cables.

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 - 10
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.)

(10) Number of Motion CPU modules and temperature conditions
(Q173CPU/Q172CPU only)
(a) It is possible to remove the Cooling fan unit(Q170FAN) in order to disperse
heat from inside the Motion CPU module according to the number of the Motion CPU module and ambient temperature conditions. Removable/Not removable of the Cooling fan unit (Q170FAN) by number of Motion CPU modules and ambient temperature is as follows.
1) When using only one Motion CPU module
2) When using two or more Motion CPU modules
Ambient temperature

Number of the Motion CPU 1 module Removable Not removable
It is possible to remove the Cooling fan unit if the ambient temperature in which the Motion CPU module will be operating is 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F).
Do not remove the Cooling fan unit(Q170FAN).

(11) When the internal battery of the Motion CPU is charged for 40 hours of normal
operation, it will be able to provide backup power for the IC-RAM memory for 1100 hours (Guaranteed time)/4300 hours (Actual time) . Battery backup by the external battery will be necessary if there is a possibility that a continuous power off that lasts longer than the continuous power off hours for the internal battery.

POINTS
(Note-1) : Overcurrent protection
The overcurrent protection device shuts off the 5V, 24VDC circuit and stops the system if the current flowing in the circuit exceeds the specified value. When this device is activated, the power supply module LED is switched OFF or dimly lit. If this happens, eliminate the cause of the overcurrent and start up the system again.
(Note-2) : Overvoltage protection
The overvoltage protection device shuts off the 5VDC circuit and stops the system if a voltage of 5.5 to 6.5V is applied to the circuit. When this device is activated, the power supply module LED is switched OFF. If this happens, switch the input power OFF, then ON to restart the system. The power supply module must be changed if the system is not booted and the LED remains OFF.
(Note-3) : Permissible instantaneous power off time
Permissible instantaneous power off is selected to use the power supply module.

(4) I/O allocations
It is possible to allocate unique I/O No.s for each Motion CPU independently of the PLC’s I/O No.s. (I/O No.s are unique between the Q series PLC CPU within a given system, but the I/O No.s of the Motion CPU are unique for each Motion CPU.) ON/OFF data input to the Motion CPU is handled via input devices PX!!, while ON/OFF data output from the Motion CPU is handled via output devices PY!!. It is not mandatory to match the I/O device PX/PY No.s used in the motion program with the PLC I/O No.s; but it is recommended to make them match as much as possible. The following figure shows an example of I/O allocation.

CAUTION
Always use a shield cable for connection of the CTRL connector and external equipment, and
avoid running it close to or bundling it with the power and main circuit cables t o minimize the
influence of electromagnetic interface. (Separate them more than 200mm (0.66ft.) away.) Connect the shield wire of the connection cable to the FG terminal of the external equipment. Make parameter setting correctly. Incorrect setting may disable the protective functions such
as stroke limit protection or may not provide the brake output, damaging the module. Always wire the cables when power is off. Not doing so can damage the output circuit if any of
the output signal cables makes contact with the power supply or the output signal cables make
contact with each other. Use extreme care when wiring the cables. Wrong wiring can damage the internal circuitry.

(3) Select to number of the synchronous encoder modules.
Synchronous encoders are available in voltage output type(incremental), differential output type(incremental) and serial absolute output type(MR-HENC). Q172EX can be connected to only serial absolute output type(MR-HENC). When using the incremental synchronous encoder of voltage output type or differential output type, must be used Q173PX. (The synchronous encoders are used only in the SV22 virtual mode.) In addition, the usable numbers of synchronous encoders differ depending on the modules. The following number of serial absolute synchronous encoders and incremental synchronous encoders combined can be used.
• Tracking enable signal
Tracking enable signal of Q172EX is used as a high-speed reading function. It can not be used, as the input start signal which start the input form synchronous encoders When using the inputs start signal which start the input from synchronous encoder, must be used Q173PX. (Type of synchronous encoder is voltage output(incremental)or differential output(incremental). )

2.4.8 Connection method with SSCNET cables and termination connector

This section explains how to connect between Motion CPU module and servo amplifiers. Connected between the Motion CPU module and servo amplifiers by the SSCNET. When using the Q172CPU(N), can be used only one SSCNET line for connection to servo amplifier(Connect to CN1). The Q173CPU(N) can be used up to four SSCNET lines for servo amplifier connection(Connect to CN1). One SSCNET line allows connection of up to eight servo amplifies. Also, SSCNET cables or termination connector are different depending on the servo amplifiers.

CAUTION
Provide appropriate circuits external to the Motion CPU to prevent cases where danger
may resu lt from
Motion CPU failure
abnormal operation of the overall system in the event of a power supply fault or
.
Install the Motion controller, servo amplifier, servomotor, and regenerative resistor on inflammable
material. Direct installation on flammable material or near flammable material may lead to fires.
If a fault occurs in the Motion controller or servo amplifier, shut the power OFF at the servo amplifier’s
power source. If a large current continues to flow, fires may occur.
When using a regenerative resistor, shut the power OFF with an error signal. The regenerative
resistor may abnormally overheat due to a fault in the regenerative transistor, etc., and may lead to fires.
Always take heat measures such as flame proofing for the inside of the control panel where the servo
amplifier or regenerative resistor is installed and for the wires used. Failing to do so may lead to fires.
Do not apply a voltage other than that specified in the instruction manual on any terminal.
Doing so may lead to destruction or damage.
Do not mistake the polarity ( + / - ), as this may lead to destruction or damage.

!
CAUTION
Do not touch the servo amplifier's heat radiating fins, regenerative resistor and servomotor, etc.
while the power is ON and for a short time after the power is turned OFF. In this timing, these parts become very hot and may head to burns.
Always turn the power OFF before touching the servomotor shaft or coupled machines, as these parts
may lead to injuries.
Do not go near the machine during test operations or during operations such as teaching.
Doing so may lead to injuries. Always install a leakage breaker on the Motion controller and servo amplifier power source. If installation of a magnetic contactor for power shut off during an error, etc., is specified in the
instruction manual for the servo amplifier, etc., always install the magnetic contactor.
Install an emergency stop circuit externally so that the operation can be stopped immediately and the
power shat off. Use the Motion controller, servo amplifier, servomotor and regenerative resistor with the combinations
listed in the instruction manual. Other combinations may lead to fires or faults. If safety standards (ex., robot safety rules, etc.,) apply to the system using the Motion controller,
servo amplifier and servomotor, make sure that the safety standards are satisfied. Construct a safety circuit externally of the Motion controller or servo amplifier if the abnormal
operation of the Motion controller or servo amplifier differ from the safety directive operation in
the system.
In systems where coasting of the servomotor will be a problem during the emergency stop, the forced
stop, servo OFF or when the power is shut OFF, use dynamic brakes. Make sure that the system considers the coasting amount even when using dynamic brakes. In systems where perpendicular shaft dropping may be a problem during the emergency stop, the
forced stop, servo OFF or when the power is shut OFF, use both dynamic brakes and magnetic brakes. The dynamic brakes must be used only during the emergency stop, the forced stop and errors where
servo OFF occurs. These brakes must not be used for normal braking. The brakes (magnetic brakes) assembled into the servomotor are for holding applications, and must
not be used for normal braking. The system must have a mechanical allowance so that the machine itself can stop even if the
stroke limits switch is passed through at the max. speed. Use wires and cables that have a wire diameter, heat resistance and bending resistance compatible
with the system. Use wires and cables within the length of the range described in the instruction manual. The ratings and characteristics of the parts (other than Motion controller, servo amplifier, servomotor)
used in a system must be compatible with the Motion controller, servo amplifier and servomotor. Install a cover on the shaft so that the rotary parts of the servomotor are not touched during operation. There may be some cases where holding by the magnetic brakes is not possible due to the service
life time or mechanical structure (when the ball screw and servomotor are connected with a timing belt, etc.).Install a stopping device to ensure safety on the machine side.

This section describes the protective coordination and noise suppression techniques of the power supply circuit.
(1) Separation and protective coordi nation ( l eakag e cur rent pr otecti on,
over current protection) of power suppl y l i nes
When wiring, separate the lines of Multiple CPU system power supplies from those of the I/O equipment and servo amplifier as shown below. When there is much noise, connect an insulation transformer.

100/200VAC

NFB
(2) Grounding
The motion system may malfunction as it is affected by various noises such as electric path noises from the power supply lines, radiated and induced noises from other equipment, servo amplifiers and their cables, and electromagnetic noises from conductors. To avoid such troubles, connect the earthing ground of each equipment and the shield grounds of the shielded cables to the earth. Also use ferrite cores to prevent the sneak noises from the SSCNET. For grounding, use the exclusive ground terminal wire of each equipment or a single-point earth method to avoid grounding by common wiring, where possible, since noises may sneak from other equipment due to common impedances.

3.2.2 Safety circuit design (1) Concept of safety circuits

When the Motion controller is powered on-off, proper outputs may not be provided temporarily due to the delays and rise times of the Motion controller power supply and external I/O control power supplies (especially DC). Therefore, the circuit must be made up to enable the Motion controller to be powered on first. Also, abnormal operations may be performed when the external power supply becomes faulty or the Motion controller fails. Constructed circuit of the parts (emergency stop, protective and interlock circuits, etc.) which may lead to machine breakdown and accidents due to abnormal operations at externally of the Motion controller in a fail-safe viewpoint, to prevent these abnormal operations from leading to the abnormal operation of the whole system.
(2) Emergency stop circui t
The circuit should be constructed outside the Motion controller or servo amplifier. Shut off the power supply to the external servo amplifier by this circuit, make the magnetic brakes of the servomotor operated.
(3) Forced stop circuit
(a) It is possible to effect the forced stop all axes of the external servo amplifier
Forced stop
(MR-H!BN/MR-J2!-B) at once via the forced stop input of the input modules. After the forced stop, remove the forced stop factor and cancel the forced stop. (The servo error detection signal does not turn on with the forced stop.) It is possible to set the forced stop input No. by the parameter setting of the system setti ng . The forced stop wiring example is shown below.
