CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW

1.1 Overview

This User's Manual describes the specifications, handling, wiring and programming methods of the Channel Isolated Pulse Input Module (QD60P8-G) used with the MELSEC-Q series programmable controller CPU.

The QD60P8-G counts the input pulse number (speed, rotation speed, instant flux or similar) and measures the quantity the length, accumulating flux and so forth. The input pulse value is updated every 10ms. The QD60P8-G updates the accumulating count value and the pulse number after movement averaging processing or similar (sampling pulse number) at intervals of the count cycle setting value.

MELSEC-Q

5) Sampling pulse number indication

The value obtained by performing pre-scale conversion on the pulse number entered in the count cycle set to the count cycle setting value is displayed. If the input pulse number is not uniform, movement averaging processing can be performed to average the input pulse number. The count range is 0 to 32767.

6) Accumulating count value indication

The accumulating value of the sampling pulse number is displayed in the set count cycle. The count range is 0 to 99999999, and you can select whether to use the accumulating counter as the linear counter or ring counter.

7) Input pulse value indication

The pulse number actually input is displayed every 10ms. Since the input pulse number is displayed every 10ms, the module can be used as a counter. (The input pulse value is updated every 10ms. Note this when using the module as a counter.) The count range is 0 to 2147483647.

8) Alarm output

It is allowed to set four setting values, i.e. upper/upper limit value, upper/lower limit value, lower/upper limit value and lower/lower limit value, for the sampling pulse number to output alarms.

9) Accumulating counter overflow detection

If the accumulating count value overflows (exceeds 99999999) in the linear counter mode, the accumulating counter overflow detection flag turns ON to indicate that an overflow error has occurred.

10) Accumulating counter comparison output

If the accumulating count value reaches or exceeds the comparison output setting value, the accumulating counter comparison flag turns ON.

11) Counter reset

The sampling pulse number, accumulating count value and input pulse value can be reset at any timing.

(2) Counting speed range of the input pulse can be changed

By changing the input filter, the input pulse speed is available within the range 0 to 30kpps.

(3) 8 channels of pulse inputs in one module

One module has 8 channels of pulse inputs to configure a system at low costs.

(4) Channel isolated

The channels are isolated from each other. (Dielectric withstand voltage: 1780VAC for 1 minute)

POINT

This function counts from 0 to 99999999 and detects an overflow

when the count range is exceeded.

This function turns ON the accumulating counter comparison flag

when the accumulating count value reaches or exceeds the

comparison output setting value. (The accumulating counter

comparison flag turns OFF at a comparison signal reset request.)

This function changes the count cycle of the sampling pulse

number or accumulating count value.

This function performs movement averaging processing by the

specified number of times if there are variations in the sampling

pulse number.

This function converts the input pulse number into the unit pulse

number when its weight per pulse is a fraction.

This function sets the upper/upper limit value, upper/lower limit

value, lower/upper limit value and lower/lower limit value for the

sampling pulse number converted by the pre-scale function to

output alarms.

This function resets the sampling pulse number, accumulating

count value or input pulse value. A reset can be made at any

timing.

This function selects whether the rise or fall of an input pulse will

be used for counting. (This setting can be made for each channel

using the intelligent function module switch.)

This function starts input pulse count operation when the count

enable signal is turned ON.

This function changes the module without stopping the system.

(Perform an online module change according to the messages of

GX Developer.)

This function uses the utility package (GX Configurator-CT) to

perform initial setting, auto refresh setting, monitor/test or similar

from within the software without using sequence programs.

CHAPTER 4 SETUP AND PROCEDURE BEFORE OPERATION

The following describes the procedure prior to the QD60P8-G operation, the name and setting of each part of the QD60P8-G, and wiring method.

4.1 Handling Precautions

The following are the precautions for handling the QD60P8-G.

(1) Do not drop the module casing, or do not subject it to strong impact.

(2) Do not remove the PCB of each module from its case. Doing so may cause

breakdowns.

(3) Be careful not to let foreign matters such as sawdust or wire chips get inside the

module. These may cause fires, failure and malfunction.

(4) The top surface of the module is covered with a 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 heat ventilation.

(5) Tighten the screws such as module fixing screws within the following ranges.

Screw location Tightening torque range

Module fixing screw (M3 screw) *1 0.36 to 0.48N•m

Terminal block screw (M3 screw) 0.42 to 0.58N•m

Terminal block mounting screw (M3.5 screw) 0.66 to 0.89N•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 malfunction or breakdown of the module, or may cause the module to fall off.

4.4 Wiring

This section explains how to wire the pulse generator to the QD60P8-G. The following are the precautions for wiring the QD60P8-G. Read these precautions together with "Section 4.1 Handling precautions" to ensure work safety.

4.4.1 Wiring precautions

In order to fully utilise the functions of the QD60P8-G and ensure system reliability, external wiring having a minimum of noise effect must be provided. The precautions regarding external wiring are described below.

(1) Use separate cables with the AC control circuit and QD60P8-G's external input

signals to avoid the influence of AC side surges and induction.

(2) Do not run the cable close to, or bundle them with, the main circuit and high-

voltage cables and the load cables from other than the programmable controller. Failure to do so will make the cables susceptible to noise, surges and induction.

(3) If there may be the effect of noise when a cable to be connected to the QD60P8-G

and the power line are installed close to each other, use a general shielded twisted pair cable as a countermeasure against noise. The shield must be grounded on the QD60P8-G side.

(4) No soldereless terminals with insulation sleeves can be used on the terminal block.

It is recommended to cover the electric wire connecting section of each solderless terminal with a marking tube or insulating tube.

(5) The cables connected to the QD60P8-G should be placed in a duct or fixed. Not

doing so can cause the QD60P8-G or cables to be damaged when the cables swing, move or are pulled carelessly, for example, or to malfunction due to poor cable connection.

• Overflow error

An overflow error (error code: 100) occurs if the "accumulating count value" of the buffer memory exceeds 99999999 when the count type is the linear counter. If the overflow error occurs, count operation is stopped, and the "accumulating count value" of the buffer memory does not change from 99999999 if pulses are input. Also, the "sampling pulse number" of the buffer memory is reset.

The overflow error is cleared by setting "1" in the "counter reset request" of the buffer memory. Count operation is resumed after the error is cleared. The error is also cleared by turning ON the error reset request (Y8 to YF). To resume count operation, however, turn ON the operating condition setting request flag (Y1) or set "1" in the "counter reset request" of the buffer memory.

POINT

• The update timing of the input pulse value is fixed at 10ms. Therefore, take care when using the module as a counter. (Refer to Section 5.9)

• When reading the input pulse value, always read two words together. If it is read in single word unit, a wrong count value may be read due to a data mismatch between the lower word and upper word when the count value is updated halfway during read.

The accumulating counter comparison flag (X10 to X17) is reset when the comparison signal reset request (Y10 to Y17) is turned ON. When the accumulating counter is operating as a linear counter, the accumulating counter comparison flag (X10 to X17) that was turned OFF once does not turn ON until the accumulating count value reaches the comparison output setting value again after it has been reset. If the accumulating counter is operating as a ring counter, the flag turns ON when the accumulating count value reaches the comparison output setting value again in the ring processing.

• Note that if the pre-scale setting value is set to 0, the sampling pulse number calculated with the above operation formula becomes 0, and it seems as if pulses are not counted although they are actually counted.

• If the setting value is other than the above values, a pre-scale setting range outside error (error code: 400) occurs. To clear the error, turn ON the error reset request (Y8 to YF) of the corresponding channel. After this, set a correct value and then turn ON the operating condition setting request flag (Y1).

• The settings are reflected on the module by turning ON the operating condition setting request flag (Y1) after setting the values to the buffer memory.

5.9 Count Response Delay Time

The count value of the QD60P8-G is delayed for the following reasons. Please take this into consideration when using the module as a counter.

• A delay occurs due to the scan time of a sequence program at the time of count start processing using the count enable (Y18 to Y1F).

• A delay occurs due to the control cycle (10ms). A maximum of 20ms (one control cycle until the "input pulse value" of the buffer memory is displayed. Similarly, a delay also occurs at a counter reset request.

The calculation expression of the delay time is as indicated below.

Maximum delay time [ms] = (1 scan time + 20) [ms]

2) delay occurs from when the count enable (Y18 to Y1F) is turned ON/OFF

8 ONLINE MODULE CHANGE

CHAPTER 8 ONLINE MODULE CHANGE

MELSEC-Q

When changing a module online, carefully read the QCPU User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection), section 12.4.1 "Online module change". This chapter describes the functions of an online module change. Perform an online module change by operating GX Developer.

POINT

(1) Perform an online module change after making sure that the system outside

the programmable controller will not malfunction.

(2) To prevent an electric shock and malfunction of operating modules, provide

means such as switches for powering off each of the external power supply and external devices connected to the module to be replaced online.

(3) To prevent an electric shock, always turn OFF the input pulse signal from the

pulse generator connected to the module to be changed online.

(4) After the module has become faulty, the buffer memory contents cannot be

confirmed. Therefore, prerecord the settings (The whole buffer memory contents that can be written refer to Section 3.4.1).

(5) It is recommended to perform an online module change in the actual system in

advance to ensure that it would not affect the other modules by checking the following:

• Means of cutting off the connection to external devices and its configuration are correct.

• Switching ON/OFF does not bring any undesirable effect.

(6) 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.

The Process CPU is required. For precautions for multiple CPU system configuration, refer to the QCPU User's Manual (Multiple CPU System).

(2) MELSECNET/H remote I/O module

The module of function version D or later is necessary.

(3) GX Developer

GX Developer of Version 7.10L or later is necessary. GX Developer of Version 8.18U or later is required to perform an online module change on the remote I/O station.

(4) Base unit

1) When the slim type main base unit (Q3 SB) is used, an online module change cannot be performed.

2) When the power supply module unnecessary type extension base unit (Q5
