 QnA CPU Features
High speed processing
The requirement for faster processing speed of PLC systems
will never end because faster processing means shorter
production time, more precise control, and better quality
in applications. MSP (Mitsubishi Sequence Processor) per-
formance has been greatly improved compared to the types
used in AnA/AnUCPU. QnACPUs gives roughly 3 times
faster processing speed than AnUCPUs.

CPU base units

One CPU base unit is required for each AnU, AnA, AnN or
QnA system. Each allows for one power supply module,
one CPU module, and a maximum of either 2, 5 or 8 single
slot size I/O modules. At either end of the base unit there
is an expansion port for the connection of extension bases.

There are two different types of extension base units. One

which allows for a power supply module; the other, which

does not. Selection of which type should be used depends
on the total 5 VDC current demand made on the power

c
supply in the CPU base unit. If this total demand is lower
than the output of the one power supply, then an

e
additional power supply is not required and the more

l
economical extension base unit can be used. There are two
extension ports at either end of the unit and connection to
other base units is made via extension cables.

Power Supplies and Memory Modules

Power supply modules

Each A Series system requires at least one power supply
module inserted into the CPU base. Additional power
supplies are necessary if A65B or A68B extension base
units are used in the system configuration. The power
supply requires an external power source of either
100/120VAC or 200/240VAC for A61P, A62P, A61PEU,
A62PEU & A65P, 24VDC for A63P.

LVD compliant modules

From the 1st January 1997 the Low Voltage Directive (LVD)
became mandatory within the EU. This directive is mainly
concerned with the safety of electrical equipment operating
above specified voltage levels. A61PEU, A62PEU and A63P
have been newly developed to comply with relevant

m
European safety standards EN61010-1 and EN61131-2
(applicable safety clauses only).

The AD51H-S3 is a high speed intelligent communications
module capable of supporting up to four communications
ports, 2 RS232C, 1 RS422, and 1 parallel. It has an
internal memory of 384k bytes for the storage of programs
written in BASIC. These programs can be transferred to the
module either by using an A6GPP/PHP or by using a VT220
compatible terminal.
Up to 8 BASIC programs can be executed concurrently and
independently of the normal sequence program. Real time
clock function and host processor interrupts are standard
features providing user flexibility in creating data

 Interrupt Module

AI61, High speed interrupt input module

The AI61 is a high speed interrupt input module suitable
for machine control applications which require rapid
response times. When an interruption input signal is
provided, the AI61 temporarily stops the normal sequence
program from running and executes an interruption
program according to the interruption vector.
The interruption start condition may be selected by the use
of internal switches according to the type of equipment
connected; i.e. interrupt may be started on the leading or
trailing edge of the interrupt signal.

System Monitor Modules

AS91 system monitor module

The AS91 is a system monitor module which is loaded in an
I/O slot of an QnA/A Series base unit. These modules monitor
the I/O bus by inserting a fixed sequence program in front of
the user program to monitor specific Y outputs. When using
these modules, outputs are possible from an I/O bus error
contact, a RUN contact and general purpose contacts. A 5 VDC
check is also performed.

Further features include:

Self test function: This function serves to check that the
module itself is functioning normally with the CPU in the STOP
status.
Reset function: Allows an error output to be cleared (by
pressing the reset push-button switch) when a bus fault occurs.

AJ65BT-R2 Remote RS232C Interface

Any RS232C equipped devices such as bar code reader or weighing
meter, etc. can be connected to CC-Link through this RS232C
interface module. Because of the high performance of CC-Link
system, those RS232C devices can be located far away from PLC
while retaining quick data access time.

AJ65BT-G4 Remote Programming Interface

This is a programming interface that may be located anywhere in
the CC-Link system. For adjustment or maintenance activities, a
PLC can be accessed from anywhere in the network for up/down
loading of program, monitoring, and some testing functions with
GPP or MEDOC programming software. Furthermore, access is also
given to other PLCs through CC-Link, QnACPU and

High speed micro area distribution system

o m

l e c
s
No additional program
E
a n
MELSEC-I/O LINK doesn't require any additional knowledge
of programming or network parameter configuration. It
works just like a standard I/O module programmed with
input (X) and output (Y), but actual I/O signals are

R y
distributed to remote I/O modules.

Up to 128 I/O distribution

MELSEC-I/O LINK can control up to 128 I/O points using 8
point input and output composite remote I/O modules, or
up to 64 I/O points can be refreshed for remote I/O
modules.

High speed I/O refresh

I/O refresh time of MELSEC-I/O LINK is minimized by high
speed communication in order to minimize machine control
delay. Max. 128 I/O points can be refreshed in approximately
5.4 ms.

Applicable cable
Connection by twisted pair cable gives the advantage of
low cost in addition to easy wiring.

45
 MELSECNET I/O LINK

Flexible configuration
Numbers of I/O points of the remote I/O modules are kept
small so that just the necessary number of I/O signals are
distributed to locations where control devices are located.
In addition, no terminal resistance requirement and the T
shape branch feature give maximum flexibility of con-
figuration and layout.

High reliability
Bus topology of MELSEC-I/O LINK gives the advantage of
high reliability. Shutdown of one remote I/O module
doesn't affect the communications of the others.

A7PU handy programming units
The A7PU is a powerful, small programming device which can
be used to compile, monitor and edit programs. It is a handy
programming unit which can be used as either a hand held
unit or as an interface unit for the programming of all the
MELSEC A PLCs. It is capable of displaying two lines of
program at a time and is connected to the PLC via an RS422
interface. When used in conjunction with an audio cassette, it
can store and maintain programs and data.

Features
The QnA /A switch allows for connection to all QnA Series
and A Series sequencer CPUs.
Sequencer maintenance via remote access GPP peripheral
devices such as DOS/V personal computers can be
connected with the sequencer via a phone line allowing
monitoring, testing, programming, and other revisions to
be conducted at long distances. GPP peripheral devices
such as DOS/V computers, and the sequencer when
connected by RS-422 operate with the same GPP function.
Notification System
When an abnormality occurs in the sequencer or trouble
is detected at the operation facilities, notification and a
message of up to 10 characters will be sent from Q6TEL
to your pager.
Password Registration
When you register your password with Q6TEL, only
authorized parties will be allowed remote access.

MELSEC MEDOC plus, IEC compatible programming software

MELSEC MEDOC plus is the programming software for all
MELSEC series PLCs. This software has been developed to
improve productivity of programming by incorporation of
IEC61131 standards.
The requirements to PLC controlled machinery and equip-
ment are becoming more sophisticated. Also, PLC programs
are becoming larger and more complicated. This results in
a longer time required for PLC programming. In addition,
large programs are not only a problem for designers, but
also for maintenance people. They have to read and
understand large PLC programs. Everybody wants to reduce
programming time, and split large programs into several
modules for easy understanding.
This software, compliant with the IEC61131 standard, pro-
vides an environment of structured programming. This
allows large programs consisting of several programming
modules to be constructed. In addition, compatibility with

m
Windows provides a user friendly environment.
