DANGER
Provide a safety circuit outside the programmable logic controller so that the entire system will
operate safely even when an external power supply error or PLC fault occurs.
Failure to observe this could lead to accidents for incorrect outputs or malfunctioning.
(1) Configure an emergency stop circuit and interlock circuit such as a positioning upper
limit/lower limit to prevent mechanical damage outside t he PLC.
(2) The machine OPR operation is controlled by the OPR direction and OPR speed data.
Deceleration starts when the near-point dog turns ON. Thus, if the OPR direction is
incorrectly set, deceleration will not start and the machine will continue t o tr avel. Configure
an interlock circuit to prevent mechanical damage outside the PLC.
(3) When the module detects an error, normally deceleration st op or sudden stop w ill take
place according to the parameter stop group settings.
Set the parameters to the positioning system specifications.
Make sure that the OPR parameter and positioning data are within the parameter setting
values.

1 PRODUCT OUTLINE
1.1 Positioning control
1.1.1 Features of QD75
The features of the QD75 are shown below.
(1) Availability of one, two, and four axis modules
MELSEC-Q
(a) One, two and four axis modules are available for both the open collector
system pulse output (QD75P1, QD75P2, and QD75P4) and differential
driver system pulse output (QD75D1, QD75D2, and QD75D4), comprising
six different models.
A model is determined by the drive unit type and number of axes. (Refer to
Section 2.2.)
(b) For connecting any of the QD75 modules to the base unit, a single slot and
32 dedicated I /O chan nel s a re requ i red .
Within the limit imposed by the maximum number of inputs and outputs
supported by the PLC CPU, up to 64 modules can be used. (Refer to
Section 3.1.)
(2) Wide variety of positioning control functions
(a) A wide variety of positioning control functions essential to any positioning
system are supported: positioning to an arbitrary position, fixed-feed
control, equal-speed control, and so on. (Refer to Section 5.3 and 9.2.)
1) Up to 600 positioning data items, including such information as
positioning addresses, control systems, and operation patterns, can be
prepared for each axis.
Using the prepared positioning data, the positioning control is
performed independently for each axis. (In addition, such controls as
interpolation involving two to four axes and simultaneous startup of
multiple axes are possible.)
2) Independent control of each axis can be achieved in linear control
mode (executable simultaneously over four axes).
Such control can ei th e r be t he in de pe nden t po si tio ni ng con t rol u sing a
single positioning data or the continuous positioning control enabled by
the continuous processing of multiple positioning data.
3) Coordinated control over multiple axes can take the form of either the
linear interpolation through the speed or position control of two to four
axes or the circular interpolation involving two axes.
Such control can ei th e r be t he in de pe nden t po si tio ni ng con t rol u sing a
single positioning data or the continuous positioning control enabled by
the continuous processing of multiple positioning data.
(b) For each positioning data, the user can specify any of the following control
systems: position control, speed control, speed-position switching control,
position-speed switching control, and so on. (Refer to Section 5.3 and 9.2.)
1 - 2
1 PRODUCT OUTLINE
MELSEC-Q
(c) Continuous positioning control using multiple positioning data can be
executed in accordance with the operation patterns the user assigned to
the positioning data. (Refer to Section 5.3 and 9.1.2)
Continuous positioning control can be executed over multiple blocks, where
each block consists of multiple positioning data. (Refer to Section 10.3.2.)
(d) OPR control is given additional features (Refer to Section 8.2.)
1) Six different machine OPR methods are provided: near point dog
method (one method), stopper methods (three methods), and count
methods (two methods).
2) OPR retry function facilitates the machine OPR control from an
arbitrary position.
(The machine OP a p remie r re fe ren ce po si t ion fo r positioning cont rol.
The machine is set to the machine OP through one of the machine
OPR methods mentioned in 1) above.)
(e) Two acceleration/deceleration control methods are provided: automatic
trapezoidal acceleration/deceleration and S-pattern
acceleration/deceleration. (Refer to Section 12.7.7.)
(The S-pattern acceleration/deceleration control is disabled if stepping
motors are used. Refer to Section 1.3.)
(3) Quick startup (Refer to Section 3.1.)
A positioning operation starts up quickly taking as little as 6 ms to 7 ms.
When operation using simultaneous start function or interpolation operation is
executed, the axes start without delay.
(Example)Axis 1 and Axis 3 are started by the
simultaneous start function
Axis 2 and Axis 4 are started by the
interpolation operation
: No delay in Axis 1 and
Axis 3 start
: No delay in Axis 2 and
Axis 4 start
(4) Faster pulse output and allowance of longer distance to dr i ve unit
(Refer to Section 3.1.)
The modules with a differential driver (QD75D1, QD75D2, and QD75D4)
incorporate the improvements in pulse output speed and maximum distance to
the drive unit.
• QD75D1/QD75D2/QD75D4: 1 Mpulse/s, 10 m max.
• QD75P1/QD75P 2/QD 75P 4: 20 0 kpu l se/ s, 2 m max.
(5) Easy maintenance
Each QD75 positioning module incorporates the following improvements in

1.1.3 Mechanism of positioning control
Positioning control using the QD75 is carried out with "pulse signals". (The QD75 is a
module that generates pulses). In the positioning system using the QD75, various
software and devices are used for the following roles. The QD75 realizes complicated
positioning control when it reads in various signals, parameters and data and is
controlled with the PLC CPU.

The principle of "position control" and "speed control" operation is shown below.
Position control
The total No. of pulses required to move the designated distance is obtained in the
following manner.
MELSEC-Q
Positioning
module
Total No. of pulses
required to move
designated distance
The No. of pulses required for the motor to rotate once is the "encoder resolution"
described in the motor catalog specification list.
=
Movement amount of machine (load)
side when motor rotates once
Designated distance
No. of pulses
required for motor to
rotate once
When this total No. of pulses is issued from the QD75 to the servo amplifier, control to
move the designated distance can be executed.
The machine side movement amount when one pulse is issued to the servo amplifier is
called the "movement amount per pulse". This value is the min. value for the workpiece
to move, and is also the electrical positioning precision.
Speed control
The "Total No. of pulses" mentioned above is invariably required for controlling the
distance. For positioning or speed control, the speed must be controlled as well.
The speed is determined by the frequency of pulses sent from the QD75 to the drive
unit.

Setting data
(a) Positioning operation by the QD75
1) The QD75 output is a pulse train.
The pulse train output by the QD75 is counted by and stored in the
deviation counter in the drive unit.
The D/A conve rte r out pu ts an an alog DC current pr op o rti on at e t o th e
count maintained by the deviation counter (called "pulse droop"). The
analog DC current serves as the servomotor speed control signal.
2) The motor rotation is controlled by the speed control signal from the
drive unit.
As the motor rotates, the pulse encoder (PLG) attached to the motor
generates feedback pulses, the frequency of which is proportionate to
the rotati on spee d.
The feedback pulses are fed back to the drive unit and decrements the
pulse droop, the pulse count maintained by the deviation counter.
The motor keeps on rotating as the pulse droop is maintained at a
certain level.
3) When the QD75 terminates the output of a pulse train, the motor
decelerates as the pulse droop decreases and stops when the count
drops to zero.
Thus, the motor rotation speed is proportionate to the pulse frequency,
while the overall motor rotation angle is proportionate to the total
number of pulses output by the QD75.
Therefore, when a movement amount per pulse is given, the overall
movement amount can be determined by the number of pulses in the
pulse train.
The pulse frequency, on the other hand, determines the motor rotation
speed (feed speed).

(b) Pulse train output from the QD75
1) As shown in Fig. 1.3, the pulse frequency increases as the motor
accelerates. The pulses are sparse when the motor starts and more
frequent when the motor speed comes close to the target speed.
2) The pulse frequency stab iliz e s when t he mot o r spee d equ al s the targe t
speed.
3) The QD75 decreases the pulse frequency (sparser pulses) to
decelerate the motor before it finally stops the output.
There will be a little difference in timing between the decrease in the
pulse frequency and the actual deceleration and stopping of the motor.
This difference, called "the stop settling time", is required for gaining a
stopping accuracy.

(a) In the system shown in Fig. 1.4, the movement amount per pulse,
command pulse frequency, and the deviation counter droop pulser amount
are determined as follows:
1) Movement amount per pulse
The movement amount per pulse is determined by the worm gear lead,
deceleration ratio, and the pulse encoder resolution.
The movement amount, therefore, is given as follows: (Number of
pulses output) × (Movement amount per pulse).
A =
2) Command pulse frequency
The command pulse frequency is determined by the speed of the
moving part and movement amount per pulse:
Vs =
3) Deviation counter droop pulser amount.
The deviation counter droop pulser amount is determined by the

(b) The QD75 allows the user to select from the following four units as the unit
used by positioning commands to any of the axes (1 to 4, if the module
supports four axes): mm, inch, degree, and pulse.
The unit selected for one axis may differ from the unit selected for another
axis.
When such data as the movement amount per pulse,
acceleration/deceleration time, positioning speed, and positioning address
are correctly set in consideration of the chosen unit, the QD75 can calculate
the number of pulses required for a movement amount to the target
positioning address and execute the positioning by outputting a pulse train
that includes the calculated number of pulses.

3.2 List of functions
3.2.1 QD75 control functions
The QD75 has several functions. In this manual, the QD75 functions are categorized
and explained as follows.
Main functions
(1) OPR control
"OPR control" is a function that established the start point for carrying out
positioning control, and carries out positioning toward that start point. This is
used to return a workpiece, located at a position other than the OP when the
power is turned ON or after positioning stop, to the OP. The "OPR control" is
preregistered in the QD75 as the "Positioning start data No. 9001 (Machine
OPR)", and "Positioning start data No. 9002 (Fast OPR). (Refer to Chapter 8
"OPR Control".)
(2) Major positioning control
This control is carried out using the "Positioning data" stored in the QD75.
Positioning control, such as position control and speed control, is executed by
setting the required items in this "positioning data" and starting that positioning
data. An "operation pattern" can be set in this "positioning data", and with this
whether to carry out control with continuous positioning data (ex.: positioning
data No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, ...) can be set. (Refer to Chapter 9 "Major Positioning
Control".)
(3) High-level positioning control
This control executes the "positioning data" stored in the QD75 using the
"block start data". The following types of applied positioning control can be
carried out.
•
Random blocks, handling several continuing positioning data items as
"blocks", can be executed in the designated order.
•
"Condition judgment" can be added to position control and speed control.
•
The operation of the designated positioning data No. that is set for multiple
axes can be started simultaneously. (Pulses are output simultaneously to
multiple servos.)
•
The designated positioning data can be executed repeatedly, etc.,
(Refer to Chapter 10 "High-level Positioning Control".)
(4) Manual control
By inputting a signal into the QD75 from an external source, the QD75 will
output a random pulse train and carry out control. Use this manual control to
move the workpiece to a random position (JOG operation), and to finely adjust
the positioning (inching operation, manual pulse generator operation), etc.
(Refer to Chapter 11 "Manual Control".)
MELSEC-Q
Sub functions
When executing the main functions, control compensation, limits and functions can
be added. (Refer to Chapter 12 "Control Sub Functions".)
Common functions
Common control using the QD75 for "parameter initialization" or "backup of
execution data" can be carried out. (Refer to Chapter 13 "Common Functions".)

4.3 Wiring
The precautions for wiring the QD75 are given below. Refer to this section as well as
"4.1.3 Handli ng p recau ti on s" w hen ca rry ing ou t t he wor k.
4.3.1 Precautions for wiring
(1) Always confirm the terminal layout before connecting the wires to the QD75.
(For the terminal layout, refer to Section 3.4.2 "Signal layout for external device
connection connector".)
(2) Correctly solder the external wiring connector. An incomplete soldering could lead
to malfunctioning.
(3) Make sure that foreign matter su ch as cu ttin g chi ps and wi re scraps do e s not
enter the QD75. Failure to observe this could lead to fires, faults or
malfuncti oning.
(4) A protective label is attached on the top of the QD75 to avoid foreign matter such
as wire scraps from entering inside during wiring process. Do not remove the label
until the wiring is completed. Before starting the system, however, be sure to
remove the label to ensure heat radiation.
(5) Securely mount the external device connector to the connector on the QD75 with
two screws.
(6) Do not disconnect the external wiring cable connected to the QD75 and the drive
unit by pulling the cable section. When the cable has a connector, be sure to hold
the connector connected to the QD75 and the drive unit. Pulling the cable while it
is connected to the QD75 and the drive unit may lead to malfunctioning or
damage of the QD75 and the drive unit or cable.
(7) Do not bundle or adjacently lay the connection cable connected to the QD75
external I/O si gn al s or d riv e un it wi th th e mai n cir cui t line , power line, or the loa d
line other than that for the PLC. Separate these by 100mm as a guide. Failure to
observe this could lead to malfunctioning caused by noise, surge, or induction.
(8) The shielded cable for connecting QD75 can be secured in place.
If the shielded cable is not secured, unevenness or movement of the shielded
cable or careless pull in g on it could result in damage to the QD 75 or d rive un it or
shielded cable or defective cable connections could cause mis-operation of the
unit.
(9) If the cable connected to the QD75 and the power line must be adjacently laid
(less than 100mm), use a shielded cable. Ground the shield of the cable securely

4.3.2 Wiring of the differential driver common terminal
When the differential driver output system (QD75D1, QD75D2, QD75D4) is used, a
potential difference between commons may occur between the differential driver
common terminal and the differential receiver common terminal of the drive unit. To
remove the potential difference between commons, connect the differential driver
common terminal of the QD75D1/QD75D2/QD75D4 and the differential receiver
common terminal o f the d riv e un it.
When the common terminal of the drive unit is photocoupler-connected, the wiring to
the differential driver common terminal of the QD75D1/QD75D2/QD75D4 is not
needed since a potential difference between commons does not exist.
(For the drive unit specifications, refer to the manual of the used drive unit.)
The following shows an example of wiring to the differential driver common terminal of
the QD75D1/QD75D2/QD75D4.
Up to two cables can be connected to one differential driver common terminal. (For
details, refer to Section 3.1 "Performance specifications".
