Mounting a Module
4.2.1
Mounting precautions
This section describes precautions for handling CPU modules, I/O modules, intelligent function modules, power supply
modules, and base units.
• Do not drop or apply strong shock to the module case, memory card, SD memory card, extended SRAM
cassette, terminal block connector, and pin connector.
• Do not remove the printed-circuit board of a module or extended SRAM cassette from the case.
Doing so may cause failure of the module and/or printed-circuit board.
• Tighten the module fixing screws and terminal block screws within the specified torque range shown in the
following table.
Module fixing screw (M3 × 12)
I/O module terminal block screw (M3)
I/O module terminal block fixing screw (M3.5)
Power supply module terminal screw (M3.5)
• Be sure to install a power supply module in the power supply installation slot of Q3B, Q3SB, Q3RB,
Q3DB, Q6B, Q6RB, Q6WRB, QA1S6B or QA6B.
Even if the power supply module is not installed, when the I/O modules and intelligent function module
installed on the base units are of light load type, the modules may be operated.
In this case, because a voltage becomes unstable, we cannot guarantee the operation.
• When using an extension cable or a tracking cable, keep it away from the main circuit cable (high voltage
and large current).
Keep a distance of 100mm or more from the main circuit.
• The following are precautions on use in combination with a module whose depth is 130mm or more (such as
Q66DA-G).
1) A module that is less than 130mm in depth cannot be mounted between modules that are 130mm or
more in depth.
2) A module that is less than 130mm in depth cannot be mounted on the right side of a module that is
130mm or more in depth.
3) When the power supply module Q64P(N) is used and a module that is 130mm or more in depth is
mounted in slot 0, it may be difficult to mount/remove a CPU module or insert/remove a memory card.
Although there is no problem with the system operation, if it is inconvenient, mount a module that is less
than 130mm in depth in slot 0 or leave the slot empty.
In case of using the QA1S6B, when installing the base unit to DIN rail in an environment of frequent vibration, use a
vibration-proofing bracket (A1S-PLT-D). Mounting the vibration-proofing bracket (A1S-PLT-D) enhances the resistance to
vibration.
Depending on the environment to install the base unit, it is also recommended to secure the base unit directly to the control
panel.
