OVERVIEW
1.1Features
This section describes the features of the QD64D2.
(1) Counting at the maximum counting speed of 4Mpps is possible. (In 4
multiples of 2 phases)
Since the QD64D2 can be used for high-resolution encoder (e.g. linear scale), the
equipment can improve position detection accuracy and a workpiece can be moved at
high-speed.
(2) Wide range of expression on counting (from -2147483648 to 2147483647)
Count values can be stored in 32-bit signed binary.
(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
The QD64D2 can compare the present value and comparison point, notify the
comparison result with input signal, and start an interrupt program when they match.
It also mounts 2-point external coincidence output for each channel, which permits
controlling external devices at high-speed.
According to application, select the coincidence output function or continuous
comparison function.
(a) Coincidence output function
Set 1 as the coincidence detection point for each point to compare it with the
present value.
Reset the coincidence output signal or change the coincidence detection point
with the sequence program.
Controlling equipment according to the operating status, such as change of the
coincidence detection point according to condition, is possible.
1 - 2
1.1 Features
1
OVERVIEW
(b) Continuous comparison function
(6) Mounting the coincidence output test function (when using the
continuous comparison function)
By using the coincidence output test function, wiring of the coincidence output
terminals (EQU1, EQU2) and operations can be checked without count operation.
(7) Preset function
The present value when the preset command (Y04) is input or the preset input
terminal (PRST) is turned ON can be overwritten to preset value.
Set from 1 to 16 as the coincidence detection point for each point to compare it
with the present value (Only 1 point can be compared simultaneously).
Whenever a coincidence is detected, the coincidence output signal is reset or the
coincidence detection point is changed automatically.
If this function is used when the coincidence detection point is predetermined, the
sequence program can be reduced, which brings improvement in takt time.

OVERVIEW
SYSTEM
CONFIGURATION
(8) Latch counter function
The present value when the latch counter execution command (Y07) is input or the
latch counter input terminal (LATCH) is turned ON can be latched.
(9) Executing the preset function/latch counter function with external
control signal
Since the QD64D2 is independent of scan time of the programmable controller CPU,
disparity in a span before executing the preset function/latch counter function can be
lessen.
(10)Fuse blown at external output part is detectable.
The QD64D2 can detect fuse blown at external output part and notify it with the blown
fuse detection flag (X1F) and LED display on it.
(11)Easy setting using GX Configurator-CT
The QD64D2 setting can be performed on screen by using GX Configurator-CT sold
separately. Thus, the number of sequence programs results in decreasing and
checking a setting status or operation status of modules easily.

Refer to Section 2.1 concerning the number of the QD64D2 that can be installed
when the remote I/O station is used.
(2) Limitations when using the remote I/O station
(a) The coincidence detection interrupt function cannot be used.
(b) When the QD64D2 is used on the MELSECNET/H remote I/O station, a delay will
occur due to the link scan time. Therefore, fully verify that there will be no problem
with controllability in the target system.
(Example) When processing is executed using the counter value input by a
sequence program, variations will occur due to a delay in the link scan time.
