[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]

CAUTION

While pressing the installation lever located at the bottom of the module, fully insert the module fixing projection into the fixing hole in the base unit and press the module using the hole as a fulcrum. Incorrect module mounting may cause a malfunction, failure, or drop of the module. In an environment of frequent vibrations, secure the module with screws.

The screws must be tightened within the specified torque range. If the screw is too loose, it may cause a drop, short circuit, or malfunction. Excessive tightening may damage the screw and/or the module, resulting in a drop, short circuit or malfunction.

Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before mounting or removing the module. Failure to do so may cause damage to the product.

Do not directly touch any conductive part or electronic part of the module. Doing so may cause a malfunction or failure of the module.

[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]

CAUTION

When wiring/connecting the connector, properly press, crimp or solder the connector using the tools specified by the manufacturers and attach the connector to the module securely.

Be careful to prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module. Failure to do may cause a fire, failure or malfunction.

A protective film is attached to the module top to prevent foreign matter such as wire chips from entering the module during wiring. Do not remove the film during wiring. Be sure to remove it for heat dissipation before system operation.

Be sure to place the cables connected to the module in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cables may swing or inadvertently be pulled, resulting in damage to the module and/ or cables, or malfunctions due to poor cable connection.

When disconnecting the cable, do not pull it by holding the cable part. Disconnect the cable with connector with holding the connector plugged into the module. Pulling the cable part with the cable still connected to the module may cause a malfunction or damage to the module and/or cable.

A - 2

[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]

CAUTION

Always ground the shielded cable on the encoder side (relay box). Failure to do may cause a malfunction.

Correctly wire cables to the module after checking the rated voltage and terminal layout of the product. Connecting a voltage different from the rated voltage or incorrect wiring may result in a fire or failure.

[STARTUP/MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS]

CAUTION

Do not disassemble or remodel each of the modules. Doing so may cause failure, malfunctions, personal injuries and/or a 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 result in a failure or malfunction of the module.

Do not mount/remove the module onto/from the base unit more than 50 times (IEC 61131-2compliant), after the first use of the product. Doing so may cause malfunctions.

Do not touch the terminal while the power is ON. Failure to do may cause a malfunction.

Switch off all phases of the externally supplied powerused in the system when cleaning the module or retightening the terminal or module fixing screws. Not doing so may result in a failure or malfunction of the module. If the screw is too loose, it may cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction. Excessive tightening may damage the screw and/or the module, resulting in a drop, short circuit or malfunction.

Before handling the module, touch a grounded metal object to discharge the static electricity from the human body. Not doing so may result in a failure or malfunction of the module.

•1 multiple of 1 phase pulse

input

•1 multiple of 2 phases pulse

input

•2 multiples of 1 phase pulse

input

•2 multiples of 2 phases pulse

input

•CW/CCW

•4 multiples of 2 phases pulse

1) Pulses input to the QD63P6 are counted.

2) The status of the I/O signals and buffer memory of the QD63P6 can be checked with the sequence program. Also, start, stop, preset, and coincidence detection of the count can be executed.

3) An interrupt request can be executed to the programmable controller CPU at counter value coincidence detection.

Figure 1.1 General operation of the QD63P6

OVERVIEW

1.1 Features

This section describes the features of the QD63P6.

(1) Wide range of expression on counting (from -2147483648 to 2147483647)

Count values can be stored in 6 channels and 32-bit signed binary.

(2) Switching of the maximum counting speed

Since the QD63P6 can switch between 200 k, 100 k, and 10 k, gradual rise/fall pulses can be correctly counted.

(3) Pulse input selection

Pulse input can be selected from 1 multiple of 1 phase, 2 multiples of 1 phase, 1 multiple of 2 phases, 2 multiples of 2 phases, 4 multiples of 2 phases, and CW/CCW.

(4) Counter format selection

Either of the following counter formats can be selected.

(a) Linear counter format

From -2147483648 to 2147483647 can be counted and an overflow can be detected when the count range is overrun.

(b) Ring counter format

Counts are repeatedly executed between the ring counter upper limit value and ring counter lower limit value.

(5) Coincidence detection

By presetting the coincidence detection point of an arbitrary channel, the detection point is compared to the present counter value, ON/OFF signal can be output according to the result, and an interrupt program can be started.

(6) The periodic pulse counter function is supported.

The periodic pulse counter function stores the present and previous counter values at every preset time while signals are input.

Countable from -2147483648 to 2147483647 and

detects an overflow when the count range is overrun.

Repeats count between the ring counter upper limit

value (Un\G2 and 3) and ring counter lower limit value

(Un\G0 and 1).

Presets the coincidence detection point of an arbitrary

channel, compares the detection point to the present

counter value, and outputs the counter value

coincidence (X02).

Inputs the interrupt signal to the programmable controller

CPU when a coincidence is detected, and starts an

interrupt program.

Rewrites the present counter value to an arbitrary value.

Executes the preset with the sequence program.

Stores the present value A (Un\G10 and 11)/present

value B (Un\G200 and 201) in the buffer memory at

every preset period while the periodic pulse counter start

command (Y05) is input.

* The functions can be used in combination.

However, when using the linear counter function or ring counter function, select either of them.

4.1 Handling Precautions

This section describes precautions on handling the QD63P6.

(1) Do not drop the module case and/or connector or apply a strong impact

to it.

(2) Do not remove the printed-circuit board of the module from the case.

Doing so will cause failure.

(3) Be careful to prevent foreign matter such as wire chips from entering the

module. Failure to do may cause a fire, failure or malfunction.

(4) A protective film is attached to the module top to prevent foreign matter

such as wire chips from entering the module during wiring. Do not remove the film during wiring. Be sure to remove it for heat dissipation before system operation.

(5) Tighten the fixing screws within the following torque ranges.

If the screw is too loose, it may cause a drop, short circuit, or malfunction. Excessive tightening may damage the screw and/or the module, resulting in a drop, short circuit or malfunction.

4.4 Wiring

4.4.1 Wiring precautions

This section describes wiring an encoder and controller to the QD63P6.

One of the conditions to maximize the QD63P6 functions and make the system highreliable, the external wiring has to be laid so that the QD63P6 becomes less subject to noise. This section describes the precautions on external wiring.

(1) Inputting a signal of different voltage may result in a 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 QD63P6 may miscount.

(4) Take the following measures against noise for high-speed pulse input.

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

(b) Wire the shielded twisted pair cables so as not to be in parallel with wires causing

much noise such as power lines or I/O wires while keeping a distance of at least 150 mm (5.91 inch) between such wires. Also install the shielded twisted pair cables as short as possible.

Figure 4.3 Example of wiring for measures against noise

To encoder

Connect the shielded cable of the encoder and that of the shielded twisted pair cable inside the relay box. If the shielded cable of the encoder is not grounded inside the encoder, ground it in the relay box as indicated by the dotted line.

Make the distance between the encoder and relay box as short as possible. If the distance is long, a voltage drop may occur. Therefore, check that the voltages while the encoder is in operation/stop are within the rated voltage at the terminal block of the relay box using the measure such as a tester. If the voltage drop is large, take the measures such as thickening the wire size or using the 5 VDC encoder of less current consumption.

5.2 Selecting Counter Format

By selecting a counter format, the following counter operations are available.

(1) Linear counter

The linear counter generates an overflow error when the count value exceeds the count range of the QD63P6.

(2) Ring counter

(a) Counting is repeated within the range between the arbitrarily-set ring counter

upper limit value (Un\G2 and 3) and ring counter lower limit value (Un\G0 and 1).

(b) When the same value is set to the ring counter upper limit value (Un\G2 and 3)

and ring counter lower limit value (Un\G0 and 1), counting is repeated in the entire range of the QD63P6.

Select the linear counter or ring counter in the intelligent function module switch setting of GX Developer. For setting details, refer to Section 4.5.

5.2 Selecting Counter Format

FUNCTIONS

5.2.1 Selecting the linear counter

(1) Linear counter operation

When the linear counter is selected, counting is operated in a range between 2147483648 (lower limit value) and 2147483647 (upper limit value). This can be used in combination with the preset function and the coincidence detection function.

(a) When the linear counter is selected for the counter format, if the present value A

(Un\G10 and 11)/present value B (Un\G200 and 201) falls below -2147483648 (lower limit value) in subtraction or exceeds 2147483647 (upper limit value) in addition, an overflow error (error code: 100) will occur.

(b) If an overflow error occurs, 1 is stored in the overflow detection flag (Un\G12) and

the overflow error (error code: 100) is stored in the error code (Un\G20) in the buffer memory, and counting is stopped. Even if a pulse is input in that condition, the present value does not change from -2147483648 or 2147483647.

Executing preset stores 0 in the overflow detection flag (Un\G12) in the buffer memory, allowing restart of counting. Note that, since data in the error code (Un\G20) are retained until the error is reset, set 1 (ON) in the error reset command (Un\G21) to reset the error.

5.2.2 Selecting the ring counter

(1) Ring counter operation

When the ring counter is selected, counting is repeated within the range between the ring counter lower limit value (Un\G0 and 1) and ring counter upper limit value (Un\G2 and 3), which are arbitrarily set in the buffer memory. No overflow error will occur when the ring counter is selected. This can be used in combination with the preset function and the coincidence detection function.

(2) Count range of the ring counter

The count range varies depending on the present value A (Un\G10 and 11)/present value B (Un\G200 and 201), and the ring counter lower limit value (Un\G0 and 1) and upper limit value (Un\G2 and 3) at the time point of any of the following:

• Count enable command (Y04) changes from OFF to ON.

• Preset is executed.

POINT

• Set appropriate ring counter lower limit value (Un\G0 and 1)/upper limit value (Un\G2 and 3) so that the following condition is satisfied.

"Ring counter lower limit value Ring counter upper limit value"

(Un\G0 and 1) (Un\G2 and 3)

If the count enable command (Y04) is turned from OFF to ON with this condition not satisfied, a ring counter upper/lower limit value setting error (error code: 500) is stored in the error code (Un\G20), and counting does not start.

• To start the counting after occurrence of the ring counter upper/lower limit value setting error (error code: 500), set the ring counter lower limit value (Un\G0 and 1)/upper limit value (Un\G2 and 3) so that the following condition is satisfied, and turn the counter enable command (Y04) ON, OFF and ON again.

(1) When changing the ring counter upper/lower limit value, perform the following:

• Turn OFF the count enable command (Y04) for 2ms or longer.

• Change the setting of the ring counter upper limit value (Un\G2 and 3) and/or ring counter lower limit value (Un\G0 and 1).

• Turn ON the count enable command (Y04) again.

While the count enable command (Y04) is ON, writing a setting value into the ring counter upper/lower limit value area (Un\G0 to 3) only stores it in the buffer memory and is not reflected to the QD63P6. Therefore, the QD63P6 operates based on the setting before the writing.

If a value was written to the ring counter lower limit value (Un\G2 and 3) or ring counter upper limit value (Un\G0 and 1) with the count enable command (Y04) set to ON, turn OFF the count enable command (Y04) for 2ms or longer and then back ON again.

No. Description

Coincidence detection is started by the following steps using the value set in the

(1) Write a coincidence detection value (100) into the coincidence detection

point setting (Un\G6 and 7).

1)*

(2) Write 1 (Change request) into the coincidence detection point change

request (Un\G8).

(3) When the coincidence detection point change request (Un\G8) status

changes from 1 (Change request) to 0 (No change request), coincidence

detection is enabled with the value set in the coincidence detection point

setting (Un\G6 and 7).

As long as the present value A (Un\G10 and 11)/present value B (Un\G200 and

201) is smaller than the coincidence detection point setting (Un\G6 and 7), the

counter value small (X03) stays ON.

When the present value A (Un\G10 and 11)/present value B (Un\G200 and 201)

matches the coincidence detection point setting (Un\G6 and 7), the counter

value small (X03) turns OFF, and the counter value coincidence (X02) turns ON.

When the present value A (Un\G10 and 11)/present value B (Un\G200 and 201)

becomes greater than the coincidence detection point setting (Un\G6 and 7),

the counter value large (X01) turns ON.

Turn ON the coincidence signal reset command (Y01), and reset the counter

value coincidence (X02). If the counter value coincidence (X02) remains ON,

the next counter value coincidence (X02) cannot be output.

* Without the operations given in 1), coincidence detection using the value stored in the coincidence

detection point setting (Un\G6 and 7) is not performed.

POINT

• When the sequence program scan time is less than 2ms, be sure to make the coincidence signal reset command (Y01) turn ON for 2ms or more by using a timer, etc.

• When the present value A (Un\G10 and 11)/present valueB (Un\G200 and 201) matches the coincidence detection point setting (Un\G6 and 7), if the coincidence signal reset command (Y01) is turned ON and OFF, the counter value coincidence (X02) turns ON again.

• Coincidence detection processing inside the QD63P6 may cause the counter value large (X01) or the counter value small (X03) to turn ON when the counter value coincidence (X02) status changes from OFF to ON.

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. (Depending on the programmable controller CPU used, the coincidence detection interrupt function cannot be used. For details, refer to CHAPTER 2.)

(a) Up to 16-point interrupt factors (SI) are allowed for a single MELSECNET-Q series

5.3 Using the Coincidence Detection Function

FUNCTIONS

POINT

• A coincidence detection interrupt occurs when the counter value coincidence (X02) rises (from OFF to ON). This means that, if the coincidence signal is reset and unless the counter value coincidence (X02) is turned OFF, the next interrupt request will not be issued.

• Immediately after power-ON or reset of the programmable controller CPU, the counter value coincidence (X02) turns ON, however, no coincidence detection interrupt will occur. For how to reset the counter value coincidence (X02), refer to Section 5.3 (Figure 5.8).

5.5 Using the Periodic Pulse Counter Function

This function allows the present value A (Un\G10 and 11)/present value B (Un\G200 and

201) and the previous value to be stored in the present periodic pulse count value (Un\G16 and 17) and previous periodic pulse count value (Un\G14 and 15) respectively at intervals of the preset period time (Un\G9), while the periodic pulse counter start command (Y05) is ON.

(1) Periodic pulse counter operation

The following explains the relation between respective I/O signals and buffer memory areas used in the periodic pulse counter function. The previous periodic pulse count value (Un\G14 and 15) is compared with the judgment value for updated periodic pulse count value (Un\G18 and 19), and if these stored values are equal, the present value is stored in the present periodic pulse count value (Un\G16 and 17). Figure 5.12 contains the I/O numbers (X/Y) and buffer memory addresses of channel 1 only. For channels 2 to 6, refer to Section 3.3.1 and Section 3.4.1. For the period setting (Un\G9), refer to Section 3.4.2 (4).

FUNCTIONS

POINT

When reading a periodic pulse count value with the sequence program, use either of the following methods.

(1) Read a data block of six words from the previous periodic pulse count value

(Un\G14 and 15) using the DFRO instruction, and check that the previous periodic pulse count value (Un\G14 and 15) is equal to the judgment value for updated periodic pulse count value (Un\G18 and 19). If not equal, try reading again. The following example program reads the periodic pulse count value of channel 1 of the QD63P6 that is mounted in the slot position of I/O number X/ Y00 to X/Y1F when M0 is turned ON.

Figure 5.13 Periodic pulse counter value reading program example

(2) Use the dedicated instruction, G(P).PPCVRD . (Refer to Appendix 1.2.)

When the periodic pulse count value is read with the G(P).PPCVRD instruction, the determination on consistency in the sequence program is unnecessary.

If either of the above methods is not used, the previous and present values may be the same due to the update timing of the module and reading timing of the sequence program, and may cause inconsistency in the periodic pulse count values.

5.6 Count Response Delay Time

In the QD63P6, a delay will occur in counting in the following cases.

(1) When starting counting by the count enable command (Y04), a delay due

to the sequence program scan time will occur.

(2) A delay due to the control cycle (1ms) will occur when executing the

following:

(a) A delay of up to 2ms (1 control cycle 2) will occur from when the count enable

command (Y04) is turned ON/OFF until the present value A (Un\G10 and 11)/ present value B (Un\G200 and 201) is updated in the buffer memory.

(b) A similar delay will occur when the preset command (Y02) is turned from OFF to

ON.

How to calculate the maximum delay time is shown below. Maximum delay time [ms] = (1 scan time + 2) [ms]

POINT

• The auto refresh settings are stored in an intelligent function module parameter file. The auto refresh settings become effective by turning the power OFF and then ON or resetting the CPU module after writing the intelligent function module parameters to the CPU module.

• The auto refresh settings cannot be changed from sequence programs. However, processing equivalent to auto refresh can be added using the FROM/TO instruction in the sequence program.
