(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)

(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.

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.

(1) 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).
(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).
(5) When setting the Q64RD-G with the utility package, the initial setting using the

(1) Offset/gain setting (error compensation) is a function designed to compensate for
the value at any two points (offset value/gain value) within the operating range
when the proper temperature conversion value is not available at a system start or
when the measurement range type is changed.
(2) When the Offset Setting Request/Gain Setting Request (Y1 to 8) is turned on in
the offset/gain setting mode, the measured temperature value is corrrected using
the set value written to this area. (Setting in 0.001

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).

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.

POINT
• Check the offset and gain values in the actual operating status.
• By turning ON the user range write request (YA), the offset and gain values are
stored into the E
• Make offset/gain setting within the measured temperature range.
If setting is made outside the measured temperature range, the resolution and
accuracy may not fall within the ranges of the performance specifications.
• Offset/gain setting may be made for two or more channels simultaneously.
• Do not set the offset and gain values simultaneously.
Specifying them at the same time will cause an error, lighting up the

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.

For example, if multiple intelligent function modules are installed to the
MELSECNET/H remote I/O station, configure the settings in GX Configurator so
that the number of parameter settings for all the intelligent function modules does
not exceed the limit of the MELSECNET/H remote I/O station.
Calculate the total number of parameter settings separately for the initial setting
and for the auto refresh setting.
The number of parameters that can be set for one module in GX Configurator-TI
is as shown below.

(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.
