Using this programmable controller in an environment outside the range of the general specifications may cause electric shock, fire, malfunction, and damage to or deterioration of the product.
While pressing the installation lever located at the bottom of module, insert the module fixing tab into the fixing hole in the base unit until it stops. Then, securely mount the module with the fixing hole as a supporting point. Improper installation may result in malfunction, breakdown or the module coming loose and dropping. Securely fix the module with screws if it is subject to vibration during use.
Tighten the screws within the range of specified torque. If the screws are loose, it may cause the module to fallout, short circuits, or malfunction. If the screws are tightened too much, it may cause damage to the screw and/or the module, resulting in fallout, short circuits or malfunction.
Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before mounting or removing the module. Not doing so may cause damage to the module. In the system where a CPU module supporting the online module change is used and on the MELSECNET/H remote I/O stations, modules can be replaced online (during energizing). However, there are some restrictions on replaceable modules and the replacement procedures are predetermined for each module. For details, refer to the chapter of the online module change in this manual.
Do not directly touch the conductive area or electronic components of the module. Doing so may cause malfunction or failure in the module.
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
!
CAUTION
Always ground the FG terminal for the programmable controller. There is a risk of electric shock or malfunction.
When turning on the power and operating the module after wiring is completed, always attach the terminal cover that comes with the product. There is a risk of electric shock if the terminal cover is not attached.
Tighten the terminal screws within the range of specified torque. If the terminal screws are loose, it may result in short circuits or malfunction. If the terminal screws are tightened too much, it may cause damage to the screw and/or the module, resulting in short circuits or malfunction.
Be careful not to let foreign matter such as sawdust or wire chips get inside the module. They may cause fires, failure or malfunction.
Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them with the specified torque. If any solderless spade terminal is used, it may be disconnected when the terminal screw comes loose, resulting in failure.
The top surface of the module is covered with protective film to prevent foreign objects such as cable offcuts from entering the module when wiring. Do not remove this film until the wiring is complete. Before operating the system, be sure to remove the film to provide adequate ventilation.

[STARTING AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS]
!
CAUTION
Do not disassemble or modify the modules. Doing so could cause failure, malfunction injury or fire.
Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before mounting or removing the module. Not doing so may cause failure or malfunction of the module. In the system where a CPU module supporting the online module change is used and on the MELSECNET/H remote I/O stations, modules can be replaced online (during energizing). However, there are some restrictions on replaceable modules and the replacement procedures are predetermined for each module. For details, refer to the chapter of the online module change in this manual.
Do not install/remove the module to/from the base unit, or the terminal block to/from the module more than 50 times after the first use of the product. (IEC 61131-2 compliant) Failure to do so may cause malfunction.
Do not touch the connector while the power is on. Doing so may cause malfunction.
Switch off all phases of the externally supplied power used in the system when cleaning the module or retightening the terminal or module fixing screws. Not doing so may cause failure or malfunction of the module. If the screws are loose, it may cause the module to fallout, short circuits, or malfunction. If the screws are tightened too much, it may cause damages to the screws and/or the module, resulting in the module falling out, short circuits or malfunction.

1.1 Features

MELSEC-Q
1
(1) Channel isolation (Q64RD-G)
The Q64RD-G is a channel-isolated module.
(2) Four-channel temperature measurement by one module
The Q64RD and Q64RD-G are capable of measuring temperatures of 4 channels per module. Detected temperature values can be converted into scaling values (ratios (%)).
(3) Conversion enable/disable setting
You can make a conversion enable/disable setting for each channel. Disabling unused channels for conversion reduces sampling time. It also prevents unnecessary disconnection detection on unused channels.
(4) Standard-compliant RTD is usable
(a) Platinum RTD compliant with JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) is usable
(Q64RD) Two types of JIS-compliant platinum RTDs (Pt100 and JPt100) can be used. The types can be selected for each channel on GX Developer.
(b) Platinum RTD compliant with JIS or Nickel RTD compliant with DIN is usable
(Q64RD-G) In addition to the above 2 types of JIS-compliant platinum RTDs, DIN­compliant nickel RTDs can be used. The types of RTD can be selected for each channel on GX Developer.
(5) Connection of 3-wire or 4-wire RTD is available for each channel
For each channel, 3-wire or 4-wire RTD can be connected. By making the terminals short-circuited, 2-wire RTD can be used.
(6) Disconnection detection
The disconnection of a platinum RTD or cable can be detected on each channel.
(7) Optimal processing selection is available
Selectable options of Sampling processing, Time averaging processing and Count averaging processing, Moving average and Primary delay filter A desired conversion method can be selected for each channel.
(8) Optimal range selection is available
(a) Ranges of -20 to 120 , -180 to 600 and -200 to 850 can be selected
(Q64RD) When Pt100 or JPt100 is used, a desired range can be selected for each channel.
(b) Ranges of 0 to 200
can be selected (Q64RD-G)
180 When a platinum RTD, Pt100 or JPt100 is used, a range of 0 to 200 to 120 When a nickel RTD, Ni100 selected for each channel.

(9) Error compensation by offset/gain value setting
Error compensation can be made by setting offset and gain values on each channel. As the offset and gain values, you can make selection from user settings and factory settings.
(10) Warning output
If the temperature detected is outside the preset measurement range, an warning can be output on each channel.
(11) Online Module Change
The module can be changed without the system being stopped. Also, by using the dedicated instructions (G(P).OGLOAD, G(P). OGSTOR) or writing to the buffer and turning on the corresponding Y signal, the offset/gain values can be re-set to the Q64RD/Q64RD-G replaced online and they can be transferred to the other Q64RD/Q64RD-G mounted in another slot. (Between the same models only)
(12) Easy setting by utility package
The utility package, GX Configurator-TI is available separately. This utility package is not necessarily to be used. However, using this makes the initial setting and auto refresh setting easy on screen, reduces sequence programs and enables easy setting and operation check.

Temperature data are 16-bit signed binary (-2000 to 8500), 32-bit signed
binary (-200000 to 850000) and stored into buffer memory.
(1) Sampling processing
Values input by each channel are successively converted into temperature
values and output as measured temperature value.
(2) Averaging processing
(a) Time averaging
Temperature conversion is averaged by time on each channel and an
averaged value is stored.
(b) Count averaging
Temperature conversion is averaged by count on each channel and an
averaged value is stored.
(c) Moving average
Measured temperature values, which are taken at every sampling
interval for the specified number of times, are averaged.
(3) Primary delay filter
By a preset time constant, digital output values are smoothed.
This function specifies whether temperature conversion is enabled or disabled

3.2.1 Temperature conversion system

(1) Sampling processing
A temperature input value is converted into a temperature one by one and its measured temperature value is stored into buffer memory. Sampling processing time varies with the number of used channels (number of channels set to enable temperature conversion).
(Processing time) = (number of used channels)
[Example] Sampling time is 120ms when three channels, channels 1, 2 and 4, are enabled for conversion.
3 channels
(2) Averaging processing
(a) Time-specified averaging processing
When this option is specified for a channel, values input from the channel are converted into temperature values consecutively for the preset length of time. Then, the total amount of values after eliminating the maximum and minimum values is averaged to be stored into the buffer memory. Averaging processing requires at least 2 times of conversion processing excluding the maximum and the minimum values. The processing count within the preset time varies with the number of used channels (number of channels set to enable temperature conversion).
(Processing count) =
Setting range of preset time is 160 to 5000ms. When setting a value out of the setting range, an error (error code 20 occurs. [Example] The sampling count is 4.75 when four channels, channels 1, 2, 3 and 4, are enabled for conversion and the preset time is 760ms.
760ms ÷ (4 channels Since the fractional portion of an indivisible value is dropped, the sampling count is 4 times.
(b) Count-specified averaging processing
The time taken to store a count-averaged value into buffer memory varies with the number of used channels (number of channels set to enable temperature conversion).
(Processing time) = (preset count)
Setting range of preset count is 4 to 62500times. When setting a value out of the setting range, an error (error code 30 occurs.
[Example] An average value is output ever 320ms when two channels, channels 3 and 4, are enabled for conversion and the preset count is 4.

or earlier with the one of 07072 or later, there is compatibility within the setting range of the Averaging processing specification (buffer memory address 9: (Un\G9). Existing programs can be utilized without change. However, when setting the moving average or primary delay filter, make setting in the Extended averaging processing specification area (buffer memory address 134: Un\G134).
(2) Use the Extended averaging processing specification (buffer memory address 134:
(Un\G134)) to set the averaging processing. In this case, it is not required to use the Averaging processing specification (buffer memory address 9: (Un\G9)). (Any value written to the area is ignored.)
(3) The relation between Averaging processing specification (buffer memory address
9: Un\G9) and Extended averaging processing specification (buffer memory address 134: Un\G134) is as follows:
• When 1H to 4H (other than 0) is written into Extended averaging processing specification, the value of this area becomes valid. (The setting of Extended averaging processing specification acts on Averaging processing specification.)
• It becomes valid at the ON/OFF timing of the Operating Condition Setting Request (Yn9).
(4) Refer to Section 3.4.21 for Extended averaging processing specification (buffer
memory address 134: Un\G134).

POINT
(1) Use the Extended averaging processing specification (buffer memory address
134: (Un\G134)) to set the averaging processing. In this case, it is not required to use Averaging processing specification (buffer memory address 9: Un\G9). (Any value written to the area is ignored.)
(2) When replacing the Q64RD whose first 5 digits of product information are 07071
or earlier with the one of 07072 or later, there is compatibility within the setting range of the Averaging processing specification (buffer memory address 9: (Un\G9). Existing programs can be utilized without change. However, when setting the moving average or primary delay filter, make setting in the Extended averaging processing specification area (buffer memory address 134: Un\G134).
(3) The relation between Averaging processing specification (buffer memory address
9: Un\G9) and Extended averaging processing specification (buffer memory address 134: Un\G134) is as follows:
• When 1H to 4H (other than 0) is written into Extended averaging processing specification, the value of this area becomes valid. (The setting of Extended averaging processing specification acts on Averaging processing specification.)
• It becomes valid at the ON/OFF timing of the Operating Condition Setting Request (Yn9).
(4) Refer to Section 3.4.5 for Averaging processing specification (buffer memory
address 9: Un\G9).
(5) When setting the Q64RD-G with the utility package, the initial setting using the
averaging processing specification does not exist. Make the initial setting using Extended averaging processing specification.

4.1 Handling Precautions

(1) Do not drop the module or subject it to heavy impact.
(2) Do not remove the PCB of the module from its case. Doing so may cause the
module to fail.
(3) Be careful not to let foreign particles such as swarf or wire chips enter the module.
They may cause a fire, mechanical failure or malfunction.
(4) The top surface of the module is covered with a protective film to prevent foreign
objects such as wire burrs from entering the module during wiring. Do not remove this film until the wiring is complete. Before operating the system, be sure to remove the film to provide adequate ventilation.
(5) Tighten the screws such as module fixing screws within the following ranges.
Loose screws may cause short circuits, failures, or malfunctions.
Screw location Tightening torque range
Module fixing screw (M3 screw) 1
Terminal block screw (M3 screw) 0.42 to 0.58 N.m
Terminal block mounting screw (M3.5 screw) 0.66 to 0.89 N.m
1: The module can be easily fixed onto the base unit using the hook at the top of the
module.
However, it is recommended to secure the module with the module fixing screw if
the module is subject to significant vibration.
(6) To mount the module on the base unit, fully insert the module fixing latch into the
fixing hole in the base unit and press the module using the hole as a fulcrum. Improper installation may result in a module malfunction, or may cause the module to fall off.

4.4 Wiring

The wiring precautions and examples of module connection are provided below.

4.4.1 Wiring Instructions

In order to optimize the functions of the Q64RD/Q64RD-G and ensure system reliability, external wiring that is protected from noise is required. Please observe the following precautions for external wiring:
(1) Use separate cables for the AC control circuit and the external input signals of the
Q64RD/Q64RD-G to avoid the influence of the AC side surges and inductions.
(2) Do not run the module cables near, or bundle them with, the main circuit and high-
voltage cables and the load cables from other than the programmable controller. Not doing so will make the module more susceptible to noises, surges and inductions.
(3) Earth the shielded of the shielded cable to FG of the programmable controller.
However, depending on the external noise conditions, external earthing on the RTD side may be recommended.
(4) Insulation-sleeved crimping terminals cannot be used with the terminal block.
It is recommended to fit mark tubes or insulation tubes to the wire connection parts of the crimping terminals.

5.2 Installing and Uninstalling the Utility Package

For how to install or uninstall the utility package, refer to "Method of installing the MELSOFT Series" included in the utility package.

5.2.1 Handling precautions

The following explains the precautions on using the GX Configurator-TI:
(1) For safety
Since GX Configurator-TI is add-in software for GX Developer, read "Safety Precautions" and the basic operating procedures in the GX Developer Operating Manual.
(2) About installation
The GX Configurator-TI is add-in software for GX Developer Version 4 or later. Therefore, GX Configurator-TI must be installed on the personal computer that has already GX Developer Version 4 or later installed.
(3) Screen error of Intelligent function module utility
Insufficient system resource may cause the screen to be displayed inappropriately while using the Intelligent function module utility. If this occurs, close the Intelligent function module utility, GX Developer (program, comments, etc.) and other applications, and then start GX Developer and Intelligent function module utility again.
(4) To start the Intelligent function module utility
(a) In GX Developer, select "QCPU (Q mode)" for PLC series and specify a
project. If any PLC series other than "QCPU (Q mode)" is selected, or if no project is specified, the Intelligent function module utility will not start.
(b) Multiple Intelligent function module utilities can be started.
However, [Open parameters] and [Save parameters] operations under [Intelligent function module parameter] are allowed for one Intelligent function module utility only. Only the [Monitor/test] operation is allowed for the other utilities
(5) Switching between two or more Intelligent function module utilities
When two or more Intelligent function module utility screens cannot be displayed side by side, select a screen to be displayed on the top of others using the task bar.

(2) Program conditions
This program reads the digital values of temperature conversions made on CH1 to CH3 of the Q64RD. Sampling processing is performed on CH1, and Averaging processing is executed every 500 counts on CH2 and in a cycle of 1000ms on CH3. If a write error occurs, the corresponding error is displayed in BCD.
(a) Initial settings
• Temperature conversion enabled channel
• Sampling channel.................................................................CH1
• Count-specified averaging channel
• Time-specified averaging channel
(b) Devices used by user
• Measured temperature value read command signal (Turned on when user wants to read measured temperature value)
• Disconnection detection reset signal
• Error reset signal
(Turned on when user wants to make error reset)
• Error code display(3-digits BCD)
• Conversion flag
• Measured temperature value (16-bit)
• Disconnection detection flag
• Error code storage
