4 SETUP AND PROCEDURES BEFORE OPERATION

MELSEC-Q

1 The mode switching (normal mode to offset/gain setting mode to normal mode)

method is given below.

 

• Dedicated instruction (G.OFFGAN)

Refer to Section 4.6 (2), (a)

Setting made to mode switching setting (buffer memory addresses 158, 159: Un\G158, Un\G159) and turning the operation condition setting request (Y9) from

OFF to ON

Refer to Section 4.6 (2), (b)

• Intelligent function module switch setting

Refer to Section 4.5, Section 4.6 (2), (c)

(After intelligent function module switch setting, reset the PLC CPU or switch power OFF, then ON.)

POINT

(1)Perform the offset/gain settings in the range that satisfies the conditions specified in Section 3.1.2, (1) and (2).

When the setting exceeds this range, the maximum resolution or total accuracy may not be within the range indicated in the performance specification.

(2)Perform the offset/gain settings separately for each channel. If channels are set in buffer memory addresses 22 (Un\G22) and 23 (Un\G23) at the same time, an error will occur and the ERROR LED will be lit.

(3)After the offset/gain settings are completed, verify that the offset and gain values have been set correctly under actual usage conditions.

(4)The offset and gain values are stored into the E2PROM and are not erased at power-off.

(5)At the time of offset/gain setting, turn ON the user range write request (YA) to write the values to the E2PROM.

Data can be written to the E2PROM up to 100 thousand times.

To prevent accidental write to the E2PROM, an error will occur and the error code (buffer memory address 19: Un\G19) will be stored if write is performed 26 consecutive times.

(6)If an error (error code: 40 1) occurs during offset/gain setting, re-set the correct offset/gain value.

The offset/gain value of the channel where the error has occurred is not written to the A/D converter module. ( 1: indicates the corresponding channel number.)

(7)Module Ready (X0) turns from OFF to ON when the offset/gain setting mode switches to the normal mode by the dedicated instruction (G.OFFGAN) or the setting of the mode switching setting (buffer memory addresses 158, 159:

Un\G158, Un\G159).

Note that initial setting processing will be executed if there is a sequence program that makes initial setting when Module Ready (X0) turns ON.

(8)Buffer memory addresses 200 (Un\G200), 202 to 233 (Un\G202 to Un\G233) are the areas used to restore the user range settings offset/gain values when online module change is made.

Refer to chapter 7 for details of online module change.

(2)Program examples

The program in the dotted area of (a) is common to (a), (b) and (c).

In this example, the I/O signals for the A/D converter module are X/Y0 to X/YF.

Q68ADV, Q68ADI, Q64AD specifications

Mitsubishi Electronics, a renowned leader in automation technology, has developed advanced analog input modules that play a crucial role in numerous industrial applications. Among them, the Q64AD, Q68ADI, and Q68ADV models stand out with their impressive features and capabilities tailored for precise data acquisition and control.

The Q64AD module is designed for high-performance analog signal processing. It offers up to 16 channels of differential input, making it suitable for applications requiring multiple sensor readings simultaneously. The resolution of 16 bits enables accurate data capture, ensuring that subtle variations in process variables, such as temperature or pressure, are detectable. One of its key advantages is the high-speed sampling capability, allowing data collection at rates of up to 100 milliseconds per channel, essential for real-time monitoring in fast-paced environments.

In contrast, the Q68ADI model enhances the versatility of the analog input system. It includes built-in isolators, providing additional protection against noise and interference commonly found in industrial settings. This isolation feature improves the reliability of sensor readings, especially in harsh environments where electrical noise can impact performance. Furthermore, the Q68ADI supports both voltage and current input types, making it adaptable to various sensor configurations, such as thermocouples and RTDs, expanding its usability across different applications.

The Q68ADV module takes versatility a step further by integrating advanced diagnostic features. This model offers a range of additional functions, including built-in fault detection and self-diagnosis capabilities that identify issues before they escalate into significant problems. It also features temperature compensation and linearization algorithms, which enhance the accuracy of reading from thermocouples and other temperature sensors. The Q68ADV module is ideal for applications demanding high reliability and stringent performance standards, making it indispensable in industries like pharmaceuticals and food processing.

All three models are designed to seamlessly integrate with Mitsubishi's PLC systems, ensuring smooth communication and data exchange. They support various protocols, making them compatible with a wide range of devices and systems. Collectively, the Q64AD, Q68ADI, and Q68ADV modules exemplify Mitsubishi Electronics' commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable, and innovative solutions in industrial automation, empowering businesses to achieve greater efficiency and operational excellence.
