[Design Precautions]
WARNING
● Configure safety circuits external to the programmable controller to ensure that the entire
system operates safely even when a fault occurs in the external power supply or the
programmable controller. Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect
output or malfunction.
(1) Configure external safety circuits, such as an emergency stop circuit, protection circuit,
and protective interlock circuit for forward/reverse operation or upper/lower limit
positioning.
(2) The programmable controller stops its operation upon detection of the following status,
and the output status of the system will be as shown below.
Q series module
Overcurrent or overvoltage protection of
the power supply module is activated.
All outputs are turned off
All outputs are held or turned off
The CPU module detects an error such as a
watchdog timer error by the self-diagnostic function. according to the parameter setting.
AnS/A series module
All outputs are turned off
All outputs are turned off
All outputs may turn on when an error occurs in the part, such as I/O control part,
where the programmable controller CPU cannot detect any error. To ensure safety
operation in such a case, provide a safety mechanism or a fail-safe circuit external to
the programmable controller. For a fail-safe circuit example, refer to the user's manual
for the CPU module used.
(3) Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of an output module relay or transistor.
Configure an external circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a serious
accident.
2
[Design Precautions]
WARNING
● In an output circuit, when a load current exceeding the rated current or an overcurrent
caused by a load short-circuit flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To
prevent this, configure an external safety circuit, such as a fuse.
● Configure a circuit so that the programmable controller is turned on first and then the
external power supply. If the external power supply is turned on first, an accident may
occur due to an incorrect output or malfunction.
● For the operating status of each station after a communication failure, refer to manuals
relevant to the network. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a communication failure
may result in an accident.
● When connecting a peripheral with the programmable controller CPU or connecting a
personal computer with an intelligent function module to modify data of a running
programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the sequence program to ensure
that the entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as
program modification, parameter change, forced output, or operating status change) of a
running programmable controller, read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the
operation is safe before proceeding. Especially, when a remote programmable controller is
controlled by an external device, immediate action cannot be taken if a problem occurs in
the programmable controller due to a communication failure. To prevent this, configure an
interlock circuit in the sequence program, and determine corrective actions to be taken
between the external device and CPU module in case of a communication failure.
[Design Precautions]
CAUTION
● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines
or power cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may
result in malfunction due to noise.
● When a device such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve is controlled through an output
module, a large current (approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the
output is turned from off to on. Take measures such as selecting the module with one
having a sufficient current rating.
● After the CPU module is powered on or is reset, the time taken to enter the RUN status
varies depending on the system configuration, parameter settings, and/or program size.
Design circuits so that the entire system will always operate safely, regardless of the time.

do so may result in electric shock or damage to the product.
● After installation and wiring, attach the included terminal cover to the module before
turning it on for operation. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
4
[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
● Individually ground the FG and LG terminals of the programmable controller with a ground
resistance of 100 ohms or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.
● Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them within the specified torque range. If
any spade solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when the terminal screw
comes loose, resulting in failure.
● Check the rated voltage and terminal layout before wiring to the module, and connect the
cables correctly. Connecting a power supply with a different voltage rating or incorrect
wiring may cause a fire or failure.
● Connectors for external devices and coaxial cables must be crimped or pressed with the
tool specified by the manufacturer, or must be correctly soldered. Incomplete connections
may cause short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
● Securely connect the connector to the module. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines
or power cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may
result in malfunction due to noise.
● Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently
be pulled, resulting in damage to the module or cables or malfunction due to poor contact.
● Check the interface type and correctly connect the cable. Incorrect wiring (connecting the
cable to an incorrect interface) may cause failure of the module and external device.
● Tighten the terminal screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause
short circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module,
resulting in drop, short circuit, or malfunction.
● Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module. Such foreign
matter can cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.
● When disconnecting the cable from the module, do not pull the cable by the cable part. For
the cable with connector, hold the connector part of the cable. For the cable connected to
the terminal block, loosen the terminal screw. Pulling the cable connected to the module
may result in malfunction or damage to the module or cable.
● Mitsubishi programmable controllers must be installed in control panels. Connect the main
power supply to the power supply module in the control panel through a relay terminal
block. Wiring and replacement of a power supply module must be performed by qualified
maintenance personnel with knowledge of protection against electric shock.

[Précautions lors de la conception]
AVERTISSEMENT
● Configurer des circuits de sécurité extérieurs à l'automate programmable pour garantir la
sécurité du système dans son ensemble à la survenance d'une anomalie dans
l'alimentation externe comme dans l'automate programmable. Faute de quoi, une
instruction de sortie incorrecte ou un dysfonctionnement pourrait être à l'origine d'un
accident.
(1) Configurer des circuits de sécurité externes, comme un circuit d'arrêt d'urgence, un
circuit de protection et les circuits de verrouillage de sécurité pour l'opération
d'inversion de marche avant/arrière et de positionnement en limite haute/basse.
(2) L'automate programmable suspend sa marche à la détection d'un des états suivants,
l'état de sortie du système étant alors comme indiqué ci-dessous.
La protection contre surintensité ou surtension du
module d'alimentation a déclenché.
Le module CPU détecte une erreur, telle qu'une erreur
d'horloge de surveillance détectée par la fonction
d'autodiagnostic.
Module de série Q
Module de série AnS/A
Toutes les sorties sont mises
hors service.
Toutes les sorties sont mises
hors service.
Toutes les sorties sont maintenues ou
mises hors service en fonction du
paramétrage.
Toutes les sorties sont mises
hors service.
Il se peut toutefois que toutes les sorties restent actives si l'erreur se produit dans un
organe où la CPU de l'automate programmable ne peut pas détecter les erreurs,
comme par exemple un organe de commande d'entrée/sortie. Pour garantir la sécurité
en exploitation dans un telle éventualité, il faut donc prévoir un mécanisme de sécurité
ou un circuit de mise en sécurité à l'extérieur de l'automate programmable. On
trouvera un exemple de circuit de mise en sécurité à manuel de l'utilisateur du module
CPU utilisé.
(3) Une panne de relais ou de transistor dans un module de sortie pourrait activer ou
interrompre certaines sortie. Configurer un circuit de surveillance externe pour le suivi
des signaux de sortie susceptibles de provoquer un accident grave.

[Précautions lors de la conception]
AVERTISSEMENT
● Dans un circuit de sortie, si le courant de charge excède la valeur nominale ou si une
surintensité causée par un court-circuit à la charge persiste longtemps, il peut en résulter
un dégagement de fumée avec départ de feu. Pour éviter cela, il faut configurer un circuit
de sécurité, avec un fusible par exemple.
● Configurer le circuit de façon à allumer d'abord l'automate programmable avant
l'alimentation externe. Si on commence par brancher l'alimentation externe, ceci peut être
une cause d'accident en cas de sortie incorrecte ou autre dysfonctionnement.
● Quant à l'état opérationnel de chacun des stations après un problème de communication,
se reporter aux manuels concernant le réseau. Une sortie erronée ou un
dysfonctionnement suite à une erreur de communication peuvent être à l'origine d'un
accident.
● Si on raccorde un périphérique à la CPU de l'automate programmable ou si on raccorde
un ordinateur personnel à un module fonctionnel intelligent pour modifier les données d'un
automate programmable en marche, il faut constituer un circuit de verrouillage dans le
programme séquentiel pour garantir la sécurité de fonctionnement de l'ensemble du
système. Pour les autres types d'intervention (comme une modification de programme, un
changement de paramètres, une sortie forcée ou un changement d'état fonctionnel) sur un
automate programmable en marche, commencer par lire attentivement les manuels
correspondants pour travailler ensuite en toute sécurité. En particulier, lorsqu'un automate
programmable distant est commandé à partir d'un dispositif externe, il faut tenir compte du
fait qu'aucune action ne sera possible s'il y a un problème de communication avec
l'automate programmable. Pour éviter cela, constituer un circuit de verrouillage dans le
programme séquentiel, et prévoir les mesures correctives à prendre entre le dispositif
externe et le module CPU en cas de problème de communication.
[Précautions lors de la conception]
ATTENTION
● Ne pas entremêler les lignes de commandes ou câbles de communication avec les lignes
des circuits principaux ou les câbles d'alimentation. Les installer en maintenant entre eux
une distance minimum de 100 mm. Faute de quoi, il y a risque de dysfonctionnement par
un bruit.
● Lorsque le module de sortie commande un dispositif comme une lampe, un réchauffeur ou
une électrovanne, un fort courrant (jusqu'à 10 fois l'intensité normale) traverse la sortie
quand celle-ci passe de OFF à ON. Prendre les mesures indispensables, comme le
sélection du module par un autre ayant une capacité de courant suffisante.
● À la mise sous tension ou à la réinitialisation du module CPU, le temps nécessaire à
l'entrée en état RUN dépend de la configuration du système, du paramétrage et/ou de la
taille du programme. Concevoir les circuits de manière que tout le système fonctionne en
sécurité, indépendamment de ce temps.

[Précautions d'installation]
ATTENTION
● Utiliser l'automate programmable dans un environnement en conformité avec Page 27
General Specifications (Spécifications générales) ce manuel. Faute de quoi, il a risque
d'électrocution, de départ de feu, de dysfonctionnement, d'endommagement ou de
détérioration du produit.
● Pour monter l'adaptateur de conversion du module AnS-Q (module partie), monter
l'adaptateur afterfully insérer la saillie (s) de fixation de l'adaptateur dans la partie
inférieure de l'adaptateur dans le trou (s) dans l'unité de base, et serrer les vis de montage
de l'adaptateur avec le couple spécifié. Dans le montage ou les vis de serrage correct ne
peut entraîner un dysfonctionnement, une panne ou chute de l'adaptateur. Un serrage
excessif peut endommager les vis et/ou de l'adaptateur, avec aussi un risque de chute, de
court-circuits et de dysfonctionnements.
● Lorsque vous utilisez le câble d'extension série MELSEC-Q, le connecter à la
cableconnector d'extension du module adaptateur de conversion AnS-Q en toute sécurité.
Vérifier que les connexions ne sont pas desserrées. Tout mauvais contact peut être
source de dysfonctionnements.
● Avant de mettre en place ou de retirer l'adaptateur de conversion du module AnS-Q.,
couper l'alimentation externe utilisée par le système (couper toutes les phases).Faute de
quoi, il y a risque d'électrocution et le module risque de tomber en panne ou de mal
fonctionner.
● Éviter tout contact direct avec les parties conductrices et les composants électroniques du
module, de l'adaptateur de conversion du module AnS-Q. Une manipulation incorrecte
peut être à l'origine de dysfonctionnements ou de pannes du module.
[Pécautions de câblage]
AVERTISSEMENT
● Avant le câblage, couper l'alimentation externe du système (sur toutes les phases). Faute
de quoi, il y a risque d'électrocution et d'endommagement du produit.
● Après installation et câblage, refermer les couvre-bornes avant la mise sous tension et la
mise en marche. Faute de quoi, il y a risque d'électrocution.
10
[Pécautions de câblage]
ATTENTION
● Mettre à la terre individuellement les bornes FG et LG de l'automate programmable avec
une résistance de terre inférieure à 100. Faute de quoi, il y a risque d'électrocution et de
dysfonctionnement.
● Utiliser des bornes sans soudure de type approprié et serrer au couple de serrage prescrit.
Si on utilise des bornes sans soudure de type embrochable, il y a risque de déconnexion
et de panne au cas où une vis de borne se desserrerait.
● Vérifier la tension nominale et l'affectation des bornes avant le câblage du module et
raccorder les câbles correctement. Le raccordement d'une alimentation d'une tension
autre que la tension nominale ou une erreur de câblage peut être à l'origine d'un départ de
feu ou d'une panne.
● Les connecteurs pour dispositifs externes et les câbles coaxiaux doivent être sertis ou
comprimés avec l'outil prescrit par le fabricant ou, à défaut, doivent être soudés
correctement. Des connexions imparfaites peuvent être à l'origine de court-circuits,
départs de feu ou dysfonctionnements.
● Raccorder fermement le connecteur sur le module. Tout mauvais contact peut être source
de dysfonctionnements.
● Ne pas entremêler les lignes de commandes ou câbles de communication avec les lignes
des circuits principaux ou les câbles d'alimentation. Les installer en maintenant entre eux
une distance minimum de 100 mm. Faute de quoi, il y a risque de dysfonctionnement par
un bruit.
● Les câbles doivent être placés dans un conduit de câbles ou doivent être attachés. Faute
de quoi, le ballottement ou le déplacement des câbles pourrait endommager le module ou
les câbles et être à l'origine de dysfonctionnements par mauvais connexion.
● Vérifier le type d'interface et raccorder les câbles correctement. Un câblage incorrect
(avec raccordement d'un câble à une interface incorrect) peut entraîner une panne du
module ou du dispositif externe.
● Serrer les vis de borne dans les limites du couple de serrage prescrit. Si les vis sont
insuffisamment serrées, il y a risque de court-circuits, départ de feu ou dysfonctionnement.
Un serrage excessif peut endommager les vis et/ou le module, avec aussi un risque de
chute, de court-circuits et de dysfonctionnements.
● Veiller à ne pas laisser la poussière, les copeaux métalliques ou d'autres corps étrangers
pénétrer dans le module. De telles corps étrangers peuvent être à l'origine d'un départ de
feu, d'une panne ou d'un dysfonctionnement.
● Pour débrancher le câble du module, ne tirer directement sur le câble proprement dit. Pour
les câbles avec connecteur, saisir le câble par le connecteur. Pour un câble raccordé sur
une plaque à bornes, desserrer la vis de la borne. Tirer sur un câble raccordé au module
peut endommager le câble ou le module et être à l'origine de dysfonctionnements.
● Les automates programmable Mitsubishi doivent être installés en tableau ou armoire de
commande. Raccorder l'alimentation principale au module d'alimentation dans le tableau
de commande sur une plaque à bornes avec relais. Le câblage et le remplacement d'un
module d'alimentation doivent être effectués par un personnel de maintenance qualifié
formé à la protection contre les chocs électriques.
11
[Précautions de mise en service et de maintenance]
AVERTISSEMENT
● Ne toucher à aucun des bornes quand le système est sous tension. Faute de quoi, il y a
risque d'électrocutions et de dysfonctionnements.
● Couper l'alimentation externe utilisée pour le système (sur toutes les phases) avant de
procéder au nettoyage du module ou au resserrage des vis de bornes des vis de
connecteur ou des vis de fixation du module. Faute de quoi, il y a risque d'électrocution et
le module risque de tomber en panne ou de mal fonctionner.
[Précautions de mise en service et de maintenance]
ATTENTION
● Si on raccorde un périphérique à la CPU de l'automate programmable ou si on raccorde
un ordinateur personnel à un module fonctionnel intelligent pour modifier les données d'un
automate programmable en marche, il faut constituer un circuit de verrouillage dans le
programme séquentiel pour garantir la sécurité de fonctionnement de l'ensemble du

l'automate programmable. Pour éviter cela, constituer un circuit de verrouillage dans le
programme séquentiel, et prévoir les mesures correctives à prendre entre le dispositif
externe et le module CPU en cas de problème de communication.
● Ne pas démonter ni modifier les modules. Cela pourrait entraîner des pannes ou
dysfonctionnements et être à l'origine de blessures ou de départs de feu.
● Tout type d'appareil de communication radio, y compris les téléphones portables et les
appareils PHS (Personal handy-phone system), doit être tenus éloignés de plus de 25 cm
de l'automate programmable, dans tous les sens. Le non-respect de cette précaution
expose à des dysfonctionnements.
● Avant de mettre en place ou de retirer le module, couper l'alimentation externe utilisée par
le système (couper toutes les phases). Le non-respect de cette précaution peut être à
l'origine de pannes ou de dysfonctionnements du module.
● Après la mise en service du produit, le nombre maximum admissible d'insertion/retrait du
module sur son socle ou du bornier sur le module ou encore d'une cassette d'extension
SRAM sur le module CPU est limité à respectivement 50 (en conformité avec la norme
IEC 61131-2). Le dépassement de cette limite peut être à l'origine de dysfonctionnements.
● Ne pas faire tomber ou soumettre à de forts chocs les piles à installer dans les modules.
Cela pourrait endommager les piles, avec risque de fuite du liquide à l'intérieur des piles.
Toute pile qu'on a laissé tomber ou qui a subi un choc violent doit être jetée avant usage.
● Avant de manipuler un module, se débarrasser de la charge électrostatique qu'accumule
le corps humain en touchant un objet conducteur approprié. Le non-respect de cette
précaution peut être à l'origine de pannes ou de dysfonctionnements du module.

COMPLIANCE WITH EMC AND LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVES
Method of ensuring compliance
To ensure that Mitsubishi programmable controllers maintain EMC and Low Voltage Directives
when incorporated into other machinery or equipment, certain measures may be necessary.
Please refer to one of the following manuals.
•  User’s manual for the CPU module used
•  User’s manual (hardware) for the CPU module or base unit used
The CE mark on the side of the programmable controller indicates compliance with EMC and
Low Voltage Directives.
Additional measures
To ensure that this product maintains EMC and Low Voltage Directives, please take the
following additional measures.
 Control panel
Keep the diameter of the holes on the control panel to 10cm or less. If the diameter is larger
than 10cm, electromagnetic wave may leak. In addition, because electromagnetic wave leaks
through a clearance between the control panel and its door, reduce the clearance as much as
possible. Use of EMI gaskets (sealing the clearance) can suppress undesired radiated
emissions.
The tests were conducted by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation using a control panel having
damping characteristics of 37dB (maximum) and 30dB (average) (measured at 3m distance, 30
to 300MHz).
 Isolation transformer
An Isolation transformer is effective for reducing conducted noise (especially, lightning surge).
Lightning surge may cause malfunction of the programmable controller. As measures against
lightning surge, connect an isolation transformer as shown below. Use of an isolation
transformer can reduce a lightning effect.

PROCEDURES BEFORE OPERATION
This chapter describes the procedures required to start operation of the Q series module
mounted on the AnS-Q module conversion adapter (base unit part).
5.1
Precautions
This section describes the precautions for handling the AnS-Q module conversion adapter.
• Do not drop or apply strong shock to the adapter.
• After the first use of the product, do not mount/remove the adapter (module part) to/from the
base unit, and do not connect/disconnect the extension cable to/from the adapter more than
50 times (in accordance with IEC 61131-2). Exceeding the limit may cause malfunction.
• Tighten the screws within the following specified torque ranges.
Screw
Tightening torque range
Adapter mounting screw (M4)
0.78 to 1.18Nm
Adapter fixing screw (M3)
0.36 to 0.48Nm
Q series module fixing screw (M3)
0.36 to 0.48Nm
Current consumption
The current consumption in the system may increase after the AnS series module is replaced
with the Q series module using the AnS-Q module conversion adapter. Check the internal
current consumption (5VDC) of the modules before and after the replacement. If the current
consumption increases after the replacement, check that the current consumption is still lower
than the rated output current of the power supply module used.
Voltage drops
Voltage (5VDC) is supplied to the AnS-Q module conversion adapter (base unit part) from the
power supply module on the base unit where the AnS-Q module conversion adapter (module
part) is mounted. A voltage drop occurs across the extension cable connecting the AnS-Q
module conversion adapter (base unit part) and AnS-Q module conversion adapter (module
part). If the specified voltage (4.75VDC or higher) is not supplied to the AnS-Q module
conversion adapter (base unit part), incorrect input or output may be generated.
When using the AnS-Q module conversion adapter, make sure that the voltage of 4.75VDC or
higher is supplied to the AnS-Q module conversion adapter (base unit part).
It is recommended to use the shortest extension cable possible between the AnS-Q module
conversion adapter (module part) and the AnS-Q module conversion adapter (base unit part) so
that the voltage drop is minimized.
32
Calculation example
The voltage drop calculation example when the AnS-Q module conversion adapter (module
part) is mounted on the main base unit (A1S35B) is shown below.
 Conditions
The voltage at the connector of the AnS-Q module conversion adapter (base unit part) is
4.75VDC or higher.
 Voltage drop calculation concept
The output voltage of the power supply module on the main base unit is set to 5.10VDC
(minimum). The Q series module can be used when the sum (Vk) of the voltage drops across
the main base unit, AnS-Q module conversion adapter (module part), and extension cable is
0.35V (5.10V-4.75V=0.35V) or lower.

Appendix 2
Restriction of the Positioning Module
When using the QD75D type/QD75P type positioning module by means of the AnS-Q module
conversion adapter, an address of 0 to 8151 only allows access from the AnS series CPU
module to the buffer memory. If the data is set by program, not all necessary data can be set,
which involves the following restriction:
• Positioning control using positioning data of No.517 to 600 at axis 1 is not available.
• Positioning control (including interpolation operation) using axis 2 to 4 is not available.
• Block start for all axes is not available.
Additionally, when using the QD75M type positioning module by means of the AnS-Q module
conversion adapter, all the functions are not available because servo parameters cannot be set
by program.
To use the Q series positioning module without the restriction, prepare a Q series system
separately and write and set the necessary data for positioning control to the Q series
positioning module before use.
Tasks associated with the replacement
Replacing the AnS series positioning module with the Q series positioning module requires the
following tasks, depending on the setting method of positioning data.
 When the data is set with a program
The method of eliminating the existing program and writing intelligent function module
parameters with GX Works2 works as a substitute. Mount the Q series positioning module on a
separately prepared Q series system to write the setting data.
If the following conditions are satisfied, a program converted and corrected by the A/
QnAQ conversion support tool can be used.
• No.1 to 100 at axis 1 are used for the positioning data.
• The block transfer function is not used. (No.101 to 600 are not used.)
• The block start data is not used. (Start No.7000 to 7010 are not used.)
 When the data is set with GX Configurator-AP
Readout the project of GX Configurator-AP by using GX Configurator-QP, where the data
should be corrected if necessary, and save the project for GX Configurator-QP. Open the saved
data in GX Works2 to write it after mounting the Q series positioning module on a separately
prepared Q series system.
