SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

(Read these precautions before using this product.)

Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle the product correctly.

In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: " WARNING" and " CAUTION".

WARNING

CAUTION

Under some circumstances, failure to observe the precautions given under " CAUTION" may lead to serious consequences. Observe the precautions of both levels because they are important for personal and system safety. Make sure that the end users read this manual and then keep the manual in a safe place for future reference.

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.

Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in minor or moderate injury or property damage.

[Design Precaution]

WARNING

Do not write any data to the "system area" or "write-protect area" of the buffer memory areas in the intelligent function module. Also, do not use any "prohibited to use" signals as an output signal to an intelligent function module from the programmable controller CPU. Doing so may cause malfunction of the programmable controller system.

CAUTION

Do not bunch the control wires or communication cables with the main circuit or power wires, or install them close to each other. They should be installed 100mm or more from each other. Not doing so could result in noise that may cause malfunction.

A - 1

[Installation Precautions]

CAUTION

Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications contained in the user's manual of the CPU module to use. 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. For the Q66AD-DG, secure the module with fixing brackets after installation to the base unit.

When using the Q68AD-G in an environment where they are frequent vibrations, screw the module

to the base unit after installation.

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.

A - 2

[Wiring Precautions]

CAUTION

Individually ground the FG terminal of the programmable controller with a ground resistance of 100Ω or less. Not doing so can cause an 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.

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.

A - 3

[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 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.

Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply before cleaning or retightening the terminal screws 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.

Always make sure to touch the grounded metal to discharge the electricity charged in the body, etc., before touching the module. Failure to do so may cause a failure or malfunctions of the module.

OVERVIEW

1 OVERVIEW

This User's Manual describes the specifications, handling and programming methods for the type Q68AD-G channel isolated analog-digital converter module (hereinafter referred to as the Q68AD-G) and type Q66AD-DG channel isolated analog-digital converter module (with signal conditioning function) (hereinafter referred to as the Q66AD-DG), which are used with the MELSEC-Q series CPU modules. The Q66AD-DG is exclusively used for current input. In this manual, the Q68AD-G and Q66AD-DG are collectively referred to as the A/D converter modules.

1.1 Features

(1) Channel isolated

The channels are isolated. The Q66AD-DG is also isolated between the external power supply and channels.

(2) Multi-channel analog input is available.

SYSTEM

OVERVIEW

CONFIGURATION

SPECIFICATIONS

(a) By using a single Q68AD-G, analog voltage or current inputs of 8 channels are

available.

(b) A single Q66AD-DG allows connection of 2-wire transmitters of 6 channels.

It has an input range for analog current, in addition to connections to 2-wire transmitters.

(3) Power supply to 2-wire transmitter (Q66AD-DG only)

Supplying power to the 2-wire transmitter, the Q66AD-DG does not require the power supply for the 2-wire transmitter. Supply power can be switched ON/OFF channel-by-channel by the A/D conversion enable/disable setting.

(4) Module protection provided by short-circuit protection circuit

(Q66AD-DG only)

If an excessive current flows into the module due to a short circuit of the wiring, the short-circuit protection circuit limits the current to within 25 to 35mA, protecting the module.

(5) Analog input check by check terminals (Q66AD-DG only)

Measurement of a voltage at the check terminals allows the mA of the 2-wire transmitter output to be checked without the wiring being disconnected.

OVERVIEW

(6) High accuracy

The reference accuracy *1 is as high as ±0.1% and the temperature coefficient*2 is as high as ±71.4ppm/°C.

*1 Accuracy of offset/gain setting at ambient temperature

*2 Accuracy per temperature change of 1°C

Example) Accuracy when the temperature varies from 25 to 30°C

0.1% (reference accuracy) + 0.00714 %/°C (temperature coefficient) 5°C (temperature variation difference) = 0.1357%

(7) Changing the input range

The input range*3 can easily be set from the GX Developer.

*3 Input range refers to the type of offset/gain settings. The most frequently used range is set as the

default but the user can also set the offset/gain.

(8) A/D conversion system

There are the following five A/D conversion systems.

(a) Sampling processing

Analog input values are converted into digital values one by one on a channel basis and the digital output value is output at every conversion.

(b) Averaging processing

1) Time averaging A/D conversion is averaged in terms of time on a channel basis and a digital average value is output.

2) Count averaging A/D conversion is averaged in terms of count on a channel basis and a digital average value is output.

3) Move averaging The specified number of digital output values measured per sampling time are averaged.

A digital output value is smoothed according to the preset time constant.

*1 Refer to Section 3.2.1 for the details of the A/D conversion system.

1 - 2

(9) Input signal error detection function

The voltage/current outside the setting range is detected.

(10)Warning output

There are the following two warning outputs.

(a) Process alarm

A warning is output if a digital output value falls outside the setting range.

(b) Rate alarm

A warning is output if the varying rate of a digital output value falls outside the preset varying rate range.

*1 Refer to Section 3.2.4 for details on warning output.

(12)Online module change

(13)Offset/gain setting

(14)Easy settings using GX Configurator-AD

A/D conversion values can be converted to percentage values (%) in the preset range and be loaded into the buffer memory. This function can reduce the time required for programming. (Refer to Section 3.2.6.)

Furthermore, the following operations can be processed by using sequence programs. (Note that these operations are possible for the modules of the same model only.) (Refer to Chapter7.)

• Transferring the offset/gain set values to the replacement A/D converter module

• Transferring the offset/and gain set values to another A/D converter module mounted on the other slot

GX Configurator-AD, dedicated instruction (G(P).OFFGAN) or mode switching setting allows a shift to the offset/gain setting mode easily.

Using GX Configurator-AD which is sold separately, sequence programs can be reduced since settings of the A/D converter module can be made on the window. Also, the set status or operating status of the module can be checked easily.

can be created automatically from the set intelligent function module parame-

A FB ter, and can be used in sequence programs.

*1 FB is the function for making a circuit block used in a sequence program repeatedly a part (FB) to

use it in the sequence program. This function can improve the efficiency of program development and minimize program bugs to improve program qualities.
