1 OVERVIEW

MELSEC-Q

1.1 Features

The features of the QD62(ED) are as follows:

(1) Counting can be performed in a wide range (The count value can be

expressed within the range between –2147483648 and 2147483647)

The count values are stored as 2-channel 32-bit signed binary codes.

(2) The maximum counting speed can be changed

The maximum speed of the QD62D can be changed by selecting from among 500 k, 200 k, 100 k and 10 k, while that of the QD62 and QD62E can be selected from among 200k, 100k and 10k. This allows an error-free count even with gradual rise/fall pulses.

(3) Pulse input can be selected

The pulse input can be selected from 1 phase multiple of 1, 1 phase multiple of 2, 2 phase multiple of 1, 2 phase multiple of 2, 2 phase multiple of 4, CW and CCW.

(4) Counter format can be selected

Either one of the following counter formats can be selected.

(a) Linear counter format

A count from –2147483648 to 2147483647 is possible and if the count exceeds the range, an overflow will be detected.

(b) Ring counter format

Counting is performed repeatedly between the ring counter maximum value and minimum value.

(5) Coincidence output is possible

Any channel coincidence output point can be preset to compare with the present counter value to output the ON/OFF signal output, or to start an interrupt program.

(6) Selection can be made from four counter functions

One of the following four functions can be selected.

(a) Latch counter function

This function latches the present value of the counter when the signal was input.

(b) Sampling counter function

This function counts the pulses that were input within the preset time period from the signal input.

(c) Periodic pulse counter function

This function stores the present and previous values of the counter at each preset time interval while the signal is being input.

(d) Disable count function

This function inputs a signal while executing the count enable command to stop pulse counting.

1 OVERVIEW

MELSEC-Q

(7) The preset function/counter selection function can be executed

using an external control signal

By applying voltage to the preset input terminal/function start input terminal of an external terminal, preset function/counter function selection can be executed.

(8) Easy settings using the GX Configurator-CT

The use of GX Configurator-CT sold separately allows you to execute the high-speed counter module setting on screen, resulting in reducing the number of sequence programs. Also, the use of GX Configurator-CT makes it easy to check the setting status and operating status for modules.

(9) A blown fuse in the external output section can be detected

A blown fuse in the external output section can be detected; it is notified by the input signal X and the LED display on the module.

The QD62(E/D) functions are listed below.

Values from –2147483648 to 2147483647 can be counted. If the count

exceeds the range, this function detects an overflow.

Repeatedly executes counting between the ring counter maximum and

minimum values.

Compares the coincidence output point of any preset channel with the

present counter value, and outputs the ON/OFF signal.

Generates an interrupt signal to the programmable controller CPU

when coincidence is detected, and starts the interrupt program.

Rewrites the present counter value to any numeric value.

Performs preset using the sequence program or external preset input.

Stops the pulse count while the count enable command is being

executed.

Stores the present counter value at the time the counter function

selection start command signal is input in the buffer memory.

Counts the pulses that are input during the preset sampling time

period from the time the counter function selection start command is

input, and stores the count in the buffer memory.

While the counter function selection start command signal is being

input, stores the present value in the buffer memory at preset interval.

Description

Turns ON when the count preparation for QD62(E/D) is completed at the time of programmable controller CPU power on or reset operation, and count processing is performed. When Module ready (X00) is OFF, count processing is not performed.

Turns ON when the present value (CH1: 2H to 3H, CH2: 22H to 23H) > coincidence output point No. 1 setting (CH1: 4H to 5H, CH2: 24H to 25H). Turns OFF when the present value setting.

Turns ON when the present value = coincidence output point No.1 setting and the present value is latched. Turns OFF with the coincidence signal No.1 reset command (Y00/Y08). The counter value coincidence (point No.1) turns ON immediately after power-ON or reset of the programmable controller CPU, since the present value and coincidence output point No.1 are all '0'.

Turns ON when the present value < coincidence output point No.1 setting. Turns OFF when the present value setting.

Turns ON with a preset command signal from the external input terminal, and the request is latched. Turns OFF with the external preset detection reset signal (Y05/Y0D).

Turns ON when the present value > coincidence output point No.2 setting (CH1: 6H to 7H, CH2: 26H to 27H). Turns OFF when the present value setting.

Turns ON when the present value = coincidence output point No.2 setting and the present value is latched. Turns OFF with the coincidence signal No.2 reset command (Y07/Y0F). The counter value coincidence (point No.2) turns ON immediately after power-ON or reset of the programmable controller CPU, since the present value and coincidence output point No.2 are all '0'.

Turns ON when the present value < coincidence output point No.2 setting. Turns OFF when the present value coincidence output point No.2 setting.

Fuse broken detection flag (X0F) turns ON when a fuse in the coincidence signal output section is blown.

4.1 Handling Precautions

4

The following describes the procedure prior to the QD62(E/D) operation, the name and setting of each part of the QD62(E/D), and wiring method.

The following are the precautions for handling the QD62(E/D).

(1) Do not drop the module casing or connector, 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 particles such or wire chips get inside the module.

These may cause fire, breakdowns and malfunctions.

(4) The top surface of the module is covered with a protective film to prevent foreign

objects such as wire chips 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.

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.

Screw location Tightening torque range

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

Connector screw (M2.6 screw) 0.20 to 0.29 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 malfunction or breakdown of the module, or may cause the module to fall off.

4.4 Wiring

The following explains how to wire the encoder and the controller to the QD62(E/D).

4.4.1 Wiring precautions

In order to fully utilise the functions of the QD62(E/D) and ensure system reliability, external wiring having a minimum of noise effect must be provided. The precautions regarding external wiring are described below.

(1) Different terminals have been prepared for connection depending on the voltage

of the input signal. Connecting a terminal of incorrect voltage may result in malfunction or mechanical failure.

(2) For 1-phase input, always perform pulse input wiring on the Phase A side.

(3) When pulse status noise is input, the QD62(E/D) may miscount.

(4) Provide the following measures against noise for high-speed pulse input:

(a) Always use a shielded twisted pair cable and provide grounding.

(b) Avoid placing the shielded twisted pair cables or input/output cables. Place the

cable at least 150 mm (5.9 inch) from such wires and perform wiring using the least distance as possible.

(5) An example of wiring incorporating measures against noise is shown below:

Programmable controller

Provide a clearance of 150 mm (5.9 inch) or more from I/O wires to high voltage equipment such as inverters. (Also exercise caution for wiring inside the panel.)

• Grounding the shielded twisted pair cable is performed on the encoder side (relay box). (This example

shows connection with 24 V sink load.

Do not enclose solenoids and inductive loads together within the same metal conduit. If a sufficient distance cannot be secured to isolate ducts and other wires from a highvoltage line, use CVVS or other shielded wire for the high-voltage line.

The distance between the encoder and relay box must be short. Allowing a long distance between

5.1.2 Setting the count method

The count method is set using the GX Developer intelligent function module switch setting. See Section 4.5 for details on the setting method.

5.1.3 Reading the present values

This section explains the methods of reading the present values stored in the buffer memory or the count values when counter function selection is executed.

(1) When any function is used, the present value is stored into the buffer memory for

storing the present value. When the latch counter, sampling counter or periodic pulse counter function is executed, the count value is stored into the buffer memory for storing the counter function selection count value at the addresses shown in the table below, aside from the buffer memory for storing the present value.

(2) Both the present values and counter function selection count values are stored in

the buffer memory as 32-bit signed binary values. In addition, since the contents of the buffer memory are automatically updated by the count operation, the latest count values can be read from the buffer memory.

POINT

When reading the present values or the counter function selection count values, use the DFRO command and always read values in two-word units. When reading the values in one-word units, if the count values are updated in the middle of read processing, a mismatch may occur between the data contents of the lower and higher words, possibly causing the system to read incorrect count values.

5.2 Selecting the Counter Format

Select either linear counter or ring counter with the GX Developer intelligent function module switch setting. See Section 4.5 for details on the setting method.

5.2.1 Selecting the linear counter

(1) Linear counter operation

When the linear counter is selected, the count operation is performed between –2147483648 (minimum value) and 2147483647 (maximum value). The linear counter can be used in combination with the preset function and the coincidence output function.

(2) Overflow error

(a) When the counter format is linear counter, an overflow error occurs if the

present counter value exceeds –2147483648 (minimum value) during subtraction or exceeds 2147483647 (maximum value) during addition.

(b) When an overflow error occurs, 1 is stored in the buffer memory overflow

detection flag (addresses CH1: 8

H, CH2: 28H) and the count stops. Even if a

pulse is input, the present value will not change from –2147483648 or

2147483647.

(c) Performing a preset will cancel the overflow error.

When a preset is performed, 0 is stored in the buffer memory overflow detection flag and the count resumes.

(d) When an overflow error occurs, a generated module error can be viewed on

the system monitor by clicking "Diagnosis" - "System monitor" menu in the GX Developer.

5 - 4 5 - 4

5 BASIC USAGE

5.2.2 Selecting the ring counter

(1) Ring counter operation

When the ring counter is selected, the count operation is performed repeatedly between the ring counter minimum value (addresses CH1: 14 to 35

H) and maximum value (addresses CH1: 16H to 17H, CH2: 36H to 37H) that

were set arbitrarily in the buffer memory. When the ring counter is being selected, an overflow error does not occur. The ring counter can be used in combination with the preset function and the coincidence output function.

Present counter value

Subtraction

(2) Ring counter count range

The count range for the ring counter is determined by the relationship between the present values in the buffer memory (addresses CH1: 2 23

H) at the time the count enable command {Y04 (Y0C)} turns ON or a preset is

executed and the ring counter minimum value/maximum value. Normally the range used is "ring counter minimum value ≤ counter maximum value".

• For up count When the present value reaches the ring counter maximum value, the ring counter minimum value is automatically stored as the present value.

• For down count Even if the present value reaches the ring counter minimum value, the ring counter minimum value will be retained as is. With the next subtraction pulse, (ring counter maximum value –1) will be stored as the present value.

Whether during up count or down count, the ring counter maximum value will not be stored in the buffer memory for storing the present values. For example, if the count is enabled with the ring counter minimum value of 0, the ring counter maximum value of 2000 and the present value of 500, the count range and present value will change as shown in the figure below.

(a) The ring counter will operate as follows when the "present value < ring

counter minimum value" or "ring counter maximum value < present value".

• For up count Even if the present value reaches the ring counter minimum value, the ring counter minimum value will be retained as is. With the next addition pulse, (ring counter maximum value +1) will be stored as the present value.

• For down count When the present value reaches the ring counter maximum value, the ring counter minimum value is automatically stored as the present value.

Whether during up count or down count, the ring counter maximum value will not be stored in the buffer memory for storing the present values. For example, if the count is enabled with the ring counter minimum value of 0, the ring counter maximum value of 2000 and the present value of 3000, the count range and present value will change as shown in the figure below.

maximum value", the count range will cover any value that can be expressed in 32-bit signed binary values (-2147483648 to 2147483647), regardless of the present value.

POINT

(1) When the count enable command {Y04(Y0C)} is ON, the set values for the

buffer memory will not change even if values are written as the minimum value and maximum value of the ring counter. To change the ring counter maximum and minimum value settings, first turn the count enable command OFF.

(2) When the count range is to be changed using preset, always change it after

first turning the count enable command {Y04(Y0C)} OFF.

(2) Output status setting during a CPU stop error

The output status (clear/hold) can be set for the external output signal when a CPU stop error occurs. The output status is set using the GX Developer I/O assignment. See Section 4.5 for details on the I/O assignment setting method.

(3) Coincidence detection interrupt function

The coincidence detection interrupt function allows making an interrupt request to a programmable controller CPU at the time of coincidence detection to start the interrupt program. (When the programmable controller CPU is a Q00J/Q00/Q01CPU, use function version B or later.)

(a) With the MELSEC-Q series intelligent function module, each module can

have up to 16 points of interruption factors (SI). The QD62 (E/D) has 4 points of interrupt factors corresponding to the coincidence outputs shown below.

The following example shows SI 0 to 3 of the QD62(E/D) installed in the slot where the start I/O is 20 being assigned to interrupt pointers I50 to I53.

(c) The following two methods are available for using only specific SI numbers:

1) Method using the parameter interrupt pointer setting The interruption factors are used only for the start SI number and the additional number of pointers, only which are specified in the dialog box for the "Intelligent function module's interrupt point setting." For example, if the start SI number is set as 1 and the number of pointers is set as 2, only SI 1 and 2 are used. Also, the interrupt function cannot be used when the parameter interrupt pointer setting has not been set.

2) Method using the IMASK command from the sequence program When the IMASK command is used, interrupt program execution enable/disable (interrupt mask) can be set for each interrupt pointer number. Refer to the QCPU (Q Mode)/QnACPU Programming Manual for details on the IMASK command.

6.1 Selecting the Counter Function

By selecting the counter function with the counter function selection setting, the disable count function, latch counter function, sampling counter function and periodic pulse counter function can be used. The counter function selection can be executed by writing the data shown in the table below into the counter function selection setting buffer memory (address 9 by using the counter function selection start command (voltage applied to the function start input terminal or turning Y06 (Y0E) ON using the sequence program). Also, for the counter function selection, only one of the following four functions can be used.

Disable count function 0 Initial value (default) Latch counter function 1

Sampling counter function 2

Periodic pulse counter function 3

(1) Disable count function

This function stops the count while the counter function selection start command is being entered when the count enable command (Y04 (Y0C)) is ON.

(2) Latch counter function

This function latches the present value at the time the counter function selection start command was entered to the latch count value (addresses C to 2D

H).

(3) Sampling counter function

This function counts the input pulses during the preset sampling period since the time the counter function selection start command was entered.

(4) Periodic pulse counter function

This function stores the present value and previous value for each preset periodic time while the counter function selection start command is being entered.

POINT

(1) Change the counter function while the counter function selection start

command is OFF.

(2) The counter function selection can be executed either by turning Y06 (Y0E) ON

or applying voltage to the function start input terminal. Also, the signal that was entered first takes precedence.

(3) Time settings for the sampling counter function and the periodic pulse counter

function are performed by writing data in a range from 1 to 65535 into the sampling/periodic setting buffer memory {address A (Example) When 420 is specified in the sampling/periodic time setting buffer memory

6.1.2 Count error

With the counter function selection, an error occurs in the count when it is executed using an external input (voltage applied to the function start input terminal) or by a sequence program (counter function selection start command ON). The following explains how to calculate the count error.

(1) Count error (maximum) due to input response delay when using an

external input

(2) Count error (maximum) when the counter function selection is

executed by a sequence program

(3) Count error (maximum) due to the internal clock when executing

the sampling counter function and periodic pulse counter function

This chapter describes programs of the QD72(E/D). When applying any of the program examples introduced in this chapter to the actual system, verify the applicability and confirm that no problem occurs in the system control.

8.1 Using Programs in Normal System Configuration

This section describes program examples based on the following system configuration and conditions.

(1) System configuration

QX10 (X10 to X1F)

QY10 (Y20 to Y2F)

(X/Y0 to X/YF)

QD62

(2) Setting conditions of the intelligent function module switch

Set the pulse input mode, counting speed setting, and counter format with the intelligent function module switch on GX Developer. (See Section 4.5.)

Channel Pulse input mode Counting speed setting Counter format

CH1 2-phase multiple of 1 200 kPPS User setting

(3) Program conditions

8 - 1 8 - 1

This program uses QD62 to perform counting with the conditions listed below.

Item Setting value

Preset value 2500

Coincidence output point No. 1 1000

Ring counter minimum value 1 –5000

Ring counter maximum value 1 5000

Sampling time setting 2 10000 ms

Periodic pulse time setting 3 5000 ms

1 Set only when a ring counter function is used 2 Set only when the sampling counter function is used 3 Set only when the periodic pulse counter function is used

POINT

Programs that were used in earlier products such as A1SD62(E/D/D-S1) cannot be used because the I/O signals and the buffer memory configuration of these products differ from those of QD62(E/D). The conventional dedicated instructions cannot be used.
