5UTILITY PACKAGE (GX Configurator-AD)

(5)Switch to the normal mode

MELSEC-Q

Change the Setting value field of Offset/gain setting mode specification to

"Normal mode", and click the

Execute test

button to perform write.

When write is completed, the indication in the Current value field of Offset/gain setting mode status changes to "Normal mode".

5.6.3 Offset/gain setting operation (Function version B or earlier)

Perform the offset/gain setting operation in the following sequence.

(1) Switch to the offset/gain setting mode

Change switch 4 for intelligent function module switch setting to the offset/gain setting mode (see Section 4.5).

(2) Switch to the offset/gain setting screen

Display the offset/gain setting screen using the operation described in Section 5.6.1.

(3)Adjustment of the offset and gain values

(a)Set the analog input value for the offset value

Add the voltage or current that will determine the offset value to the channel to be set.

(b)Select the channel for which the offset value is to be adjusted

Make the selection from the offset/gain setting channel field, and then click

on the

Execute test

button.

(c)Set the analog input value for the gain value

Add the voltage or current that will determine the gain value to the channel to be set.

(d)Select the channel for which the gain value is to be adjusted

Make the selection from the offset/gain setting channel field, and then click

on the

Execute test

button.

(e)To set the offset/gain for more than one channel, repeat steps (a) to (d).

(4)Write the offset/gain setting values to the module

Write the offset/gain settings to the module after completing the settings for all channels using the user range setting. Note that if settings are written while offset/gain settings are incomplete, the status at that point will be written to the module.

(a)Write to the A/D converter module

Select "Write requested" from the setting value field for the offset/gain

setting write request, and then click on the

Execute test

button.

(b)Confirm execution of write operation

Confirm that the current value field display for the offset/gain module write request changes from "Write request" to "No write request".

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.
