MELSEC System Q series
HIGHLY DEVELOPED CONTROL
The Q series can utilize a multiple PLC system where multiple high-performance CPUs are loaded on the same main base to manage I/O
and intelligent function modules CPU-by-CPU in a control system. In the multiple PLC system, you can choose CPUs according to your
application. With the multi-CPU system, inter-CPU communication uses two methods, cyclic communication, which uses automatic
refreshing for periodic communication, and transient communication, which uses dedicated instructions for communications. This system
allows the sequence control and data processing that were conventionally performed by a single CPU to be shared by multiple dedicated
CPUs, improving speed and performance in the whole system and expanding its application range.
EXPANTION MODULE
DIGITAL INPUT MODULE
Various input modules are available for converting digital process signals with different voltage levels into the levels required by the PLC. Potential isolation between process and control by means of an optocoupler as standard LED indication of input status Connected using a D-sub
DIGITAL OUTPUT MODULE
The MELSEC System Q output modules have different switching elements for adaptation to many control tasks.
Output modules with relay, transistor or triac switches
Potential isolation between process and control by means of an optocoupler as standard
Modules with potential isolation between the channels
Removable terminal blocks with screws
ANALOG I/O MODULE
The analog input modules convert analog process signals, for example pressure, flow or fill level, linearly into digital values, which are further processed by theQCPU. Up to 8 channels per module (Q68AD_) and up to 512 channels per system (QCPU) Calculation of average value over the time or measurement cycles can be configured Potential isolation between process and control by means of an optocoupler is standard

Special Applications Units
Positioning Modules
Open collector output/differential output
Open collector and differential driver systems are available as command outputs to enable selection according to applications.
Many functions, e.g. preread starting function for reduction of positioning starting time, are available to ensure fast, multi-application
positioning.
Pulse train output/multi-axis compatibility
The Q series pulse train output/multi-axis compatible positioning modules are fit for multi-axis system that do not need complicated
control.They are effective for driving many motors at low costs.
There are 4- and 8-axis compatible modules, which can be selected to meet your system.
Temperature Input Modules
Connected with thermocouples/platinum temperature measuring
resistors, the Q series temperature input module can import
temperature data
Communications Units
Ethernet Interface Modules
A 100Mbps-compatible Ethernet interface module is available for the first time in the industry. You can make selection according to the system and the device on the other end.
