For Safe Operations

1. Prevention of electric shocks

DANGER

Never open the front case or terminal covers while the power is ON or the unit is running, as this

may lead to electric shocks.

Never run the unit with the front case or terminal cover removed. The high voltage terminal and

charged sections will be exposed and may lead to electric shocks.

Never open the front case or terminal cover at times other than wiring work or periodic

inspections even if the power is OFF. The insides of the module and servo amplifier are charged
and may lead to electric shocks.

Completely turn off the externally supplied power used in the system before mounting or removing

the module, performing wiring work, or inspections. Failing to do so may lead to electric shocks.

When performing wiring work or inspections, turn the power OFF, wait at least ten minutes, and

then check the voltage with a tester, etc. Failing to do so may lead to electric shocks.

Be sure to ground the module, servo amplifier and servomotor (Ground resistance : 100 or

less). Do not ground commonly with other devices.
The wiring work and inspections must be done by a qualified technician.
Wire the units after installing the module, servo amplifier and servomotor. Failing to do so may

lead to electric shocks or damage.
Never operate the switches with wet hands, as this may lead to electric shocks.
Do not damage, apply excessive stress, place heavy things on or sandwich the cables, as this

may lead to electric shocks.
Do not touch the module, servo amplifier, servomotor connector or terminal blocks while the

power is ON, as this may lead to electric shocks.
Do not touch the built-in power supply, built-in grounding or signal wires of the module and servo

amplifier, as this may lead to electric shocks.

2. For fire prevention

CAUTION

Install the module, servo amplifier, servomotor and regenerative resistor on incombustible.

Installing them directly or close to combustibles will lead to fire.
If a fault occurs in the module or servo amplifier, shut the power OFF at the servo amplifier's

power source. If a large current continues to flow, fire may occur.
When using a regenerative resistor, shut the power OFF with an error signal. The regenerative

resistor may abnormally overheat due to a fault in the regenerative transistor, etc., and may lead

to fire.
Always take heat measures such as flame proofing for the inside of the control panel where the

servo amplifier or regenerative resistor is installed and for the wires used. Failing to do so may

lead to fire.
Do not damage, apply excessive stress, place heavy things on or sandwich the cables, as this

may lead to fire

.

3. For injury prevention

CAUTION

Do not apply a voltage other than that specified in the instruction manual on any terminal.

Doing so may lead to destruction or damage.
Do not mistake the terminal connections, as this may lead to destruction or damage.
Do not mistake the polarity ( + / - ), as this may lead to destruction or damage.
Do not touch the heat radiating fins of module or servo amplifier, regenerative resistor and

servomotor, etc., while the power is ON and for a short time after the power is turned OFF. In this

timing, these parts become very hot and may lead to burns.
Always turn the power OFF before touching the servomotor shaft or coupled machines, as these

parts may lead to injuries.
Do not go near the machine during test operations or during operations such as teaching.

Doing so may lead to injuries.

4. Various precautions

Strictly observe the following precautions. Mistaken handling of the unit may lead to faults,
injuries or electric shocks.

(1) System structure

CAUTION

Always install a leakage breaker on the module and servo amplifier power source.
If installation of an electromagnetic contactor for power shut off during an error, etc., is specified in

the instruction manual for the servo amplifier, etc., always install the electromagnetic contactor.

Install the emergency stop circuit externally so that the operation can be stopped immediately and

the power shut off.

Use the module, servo amplifier, servomotor and regenerative resistor with the correct

combinations listed in the instruction manual. Other combinations may lead to fire or faults.

Use the CPU module, base unit and positioning module with the correct combinations listed in the

instruction manual. Other combinations may lead to faults.

If safety standards (ex., robot safety rules, etc.,) apply to the system using the module, servo

amplifier and servomotor, make sure that the safety standards are satisfied.

Construct a safety circuit externally of the module or servo amplifier if the abnormal operation of

the module or servo amplifier differ from the safety directive operation in the system.

In systems where coasting of the servomotor will be a problem during the forced stop, emergency

stop, servo OFF or power supply OFF, use dynamic brakes.
Make sure that the system considers the coasting amount even when using dynamic brakes.
In systems where perpendicular shaft dropping may be a problem during the forced stop,

emergency stop, servo OFF or power supply OFF, use both dynamic brakes and electromagnetic

brakes.
The dynamic brakes must be used only on errors that cause the forced stop, emergency stop, or

servo OFF. These brakes must not be used for normal braking.
The brakes (electromagnetic brakes) assembled into the servomotor are for holding applications,

and must not be used for normal braking.

A - 3

CAUTION

The system must have a mechanical allowance so that the machine itself can stop even if the

stroke limits switch is passed through at the max. speed.

Use wires and cables that have a wire diameter, heat resistance and bending resistance

compatible with the system.
Use wires and cables within the length of the range described in the instruction manual.
The ratings and characteristics of the parts (other than module, servo amplifier and servomotor)

used in a system must be compatible with the module, servo amplifier and servomotor.
Install a cover on the shaft so that the rotary parts of the servomotor are not touched during

operation.
There may be some cases where holding by the electromagnetic brakes is not possible due to the

life or mechanical structure (when the ball screw and servomotor are connected with a timing belt,

etc.). Install a stopping device to ensure safety on the machine side.

(2) Parameter settings and programming

CAUTION

Set the parameter values to those that are compatible with the module, servo amplifier,

servomotor and regenerative resistor model and the system application. The protective functions
may not function if the settings are incorrect.

The regenerative resistor model and capacity parameters must be set to values that conform to

the operation mode, servo amplifier and servo power supply module. The protective functions

may not function if the settings are incorrect.
Set the mechanical brake output and dynamic brake output validity parameters to values that are

compatible with the system application. The protective functions may not function if the settings

are incorrect.
Set the stroke limit input validity parameter to a value that is compatible with the system

application. The protective functions may not function if the setting is incorrect.
Set the servomotor encoder type (increment, absolute position type, etc.) parameter to a value

that is compatible with the system application. The protective functions may not function if the

setting is incorrect.
Set the servomotor capacity and type (standard, low-inertia, flat, etc.) parameter to values that

are compatible with the system application. The protective functions may not function if the

settings are incorrect.
Set the servo amplifier capacity and type parameters to values that are compatible with the

system application. The protective functions may not function if the settings are incorrect.

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 either be the independent positioning control using 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 either be the independent positioning control using a
single positioning data or the continuous positioning control enabled by
the continuous processing of multiple positioning data.

(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.)

Four different machine OPR methods are provided: the near point dog
method, two count methods, and the data set method.

(e) Two acceleration/deceleration control methods are provided: automatic

trapezoidal acceleration/deceleration and S-pattern acceleration/
deceleration. (Refer to Section 12.7.7.)

A positioning operation starts up quickly taking as little as 3.5 ms to 4 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 : No delay in Axis 1 and

simultaneous start function Axis 3 start
Axis 2 and Axis 4 are started by the : No delay in Axis 2 and
interpolation operation Axis 4 start

(a) The QD75MH can be directly connected to the servo amplifier using the

MELSERVO (Mitsubishi's servo amplifier: MR-J3-B).

(b) Because the SSCNET

servo amplifier, or servo amplifiers, saving wiring can be realized. The
cable between the QD75MH and servo amplifier or servo amplifiers can be
extended up to 50m (164.04ft.).

(c) By the use of SSCNET

electromagnetic noise and others from servo amplifier, etc. are reduced.

(d) The servo parameters can be set on the QD75MH side to write or read

them to/from the servo amplifier using the SSCNET

(e) The actual current value and error description contained in the servo can

be checked by the buffer memory of the QD75MH.

(a) The absolute position-corresponding servo amplifier is connected to have

an application to the absolute position system.

The external inputs, such as external start, stop, and speed/position switching is
used to perform the positioning control without using the PLC program.

Each QD75MH positioning module incorporates the following improvements in
maintainability:

(a) Data such as the positioning data and parameters can be stored on a flash

ROM inside the QD75MH, eliminating the need of a battery for retaining
data. (Refer to Section 7.1.1.)

(b) Error messages are classified in more detail to facilitate the initial

troubleshooting procedure. (Refer to Section 15.1.)

(c) The module retains 16 error messages and 16 warning messages recently

output, offering more complete error and warning histories.
(Refer to Section 5.6.1.)

Dedicated instructions such as the positioning start instruction, and teaching
instruction are provided.
The use of such dedicated instruction simplifies PLC programs.(Refer to Chapter

14.)

Using GX Configurator-QP, the user can control the QD75MH parameters and
positioning data without having to be conscious of the buffer memory addresses.
Moreover, GX Configurator-QP has a test function which allows the user to check
the wiring before creating a PLC program for positioning control, or test operation
the QD75MH using created parameters and positioning data for checking their
integrity.
The control monitor function of GX Configurator-QP allows the user to debug
programs efficiently.

As forced stop input signal to the connector for external equipment connection is
added, batch forced stop is available for all axes of servo amplifier.
(Refer to Section 12.4.5.)
Selection for whether using "Forced stop input signal" or not can be made with
parameter.

To punch insulation material or leather, etc.,

as the same shape at a high yield, positioning
is carried out with the X axis and Y axis
servos.

•

After positioning the table with the X axis

servo, the press head is positioned with the Y
axis servo, and is then punched with the
press.

•

When the material type or shape changes, the

press head die is changed, and the positioning
pattern is changed.

•

Using the servo for one axis, the palletizer is

positioned at a high accuracy.

•

The amount to lower the palletizer according to

the material thickness is saved.

1.1.3 Mechanism of positioning control

In the positioning system using the QD75MH, various software and devices are used
for the following roles. The QD75MH realizes complicated positioning control when it
reads in various signals, parameters and data and is controlled with the PLC CPU.

MELSEC-Q

Creates control order and
conditions as a sequence
program.

GX Developer

GX
Configurator

-QP

Sets the parameters and
positioning data for control.

Outputs the start command for
JOG operation, etc., during test
operation with the test mode.

Monitors the positioning operation.

Stores the created program.
The QD75MH outputs the start signal and

QD75MH positioning
module

stop signal following the stored program.
QD75MH errors, etc., are detected.

PLC CPU

Servo
amplifier

Outputs signals such as the start
signal, forced stop input signal, stop
signal, limit signal and control
changeover signal to the QD75MH.

External signal

Stores the parameter and data.
Outputs datas to the servo according to the

instructions from the PLC CPU, GX Configurator-QP,
external signals and manual pulse generator.

Manual pulse
generator

Issues commands by
transmitting pulses.

Receives positioning commands and control
commands from QD75MH, and drives the motor.

Outputs the positioning data of the motor
data and etc., and external input signal of the
servo amplifier to the QD75MH by the SSCNET .

Motor

Carries out the actual work according to commands
from the servo.

Workpiece

(Note): For QD75MH1, 2 and 4, use SW2D5C-QD75P (Version 2.21X) or later of the GX Configurator.
