SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Read these precautions before using this product.) Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle the product correctly. The precautions given in this manual are concerned with this product only. For the safety precautions of the programmable controller system, refer to the user’s manual for the CPU module used.
Page 4 [Design Precautions] CAUTION Do not bundle or adjacently lay the connection cable connected to the module external I/O signals or drive unit with the main circuit line, power line, or the load line other than that for the programmable controller. Separate these by 100mm as a guide. Failure to observe this could lead to malfunctioning caused by noise, surge, or induction.
Page 5 [Wiring Precautions] CAUTION 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. Tighten the connector screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause short circuit, fire, or malfunction.

Page 327: Operation Patterns Of Major Positioning Controls
MAJOR POSITIONING CONTROL MELSEC-Q 9.1.2 Operation patterns of major positioning controls In "major positioning control" (high-level positioning control), " Da.1 Operation pattern" can be set to designate whether to continue executing positioning data after the started positioning data. The "operation pattern" includes the following 3 types. Positioning complete (1) Independent positioning control (operation pattern: 00)
Page 328 MAJOR POSITIONING CONTROL MELSEC-Q Independent positioning control (Positioning complete) This control is set when executing only one designated data item of positioning. If a dwell time is designated, the positioning will complete after the designated time elapses. This data (operation pattern [00] data) becomes the end of block data when carrying out block positioning.
Page 329 MAJOR POSITIONING CONTROL MELSEC-Q Continuous positioning control (1) The machine always automatically decelerates each time the positioning is completed. Acceleration is then carried out after the QD75 command speed reaches 0 to carry out the next positioning data operation. If a dwell time is designated, the acceleration is carried out after the designated time elapses.

Each function is executed by parameter setting. 12.2.1 OPR retry function When the workpiece goes past the OP without stopping during positioning control, it may not move back in the direction of the OP although a machine OPR is commanded, depending on the workpiece position.

The "electronic gear function" has the following four functions. [A] The function converts the command value (speed, movement amount from the start point to the end point), which is set in mm units, to pulse units, and determines the pulse frequency and pulse number of the command pulse.

The "near pass function" is a function to suppress the mechanical vibration occurring at the time of switching the positioning data when continuous pass control is carried out using interpolation control.
Page 546 CONTROL SUB FUNCTIONS MELSEC-Q Control Precautions (1) If the movement amount designated by the positioning data is small when the continuous path control is executed, the output speed may not reach the designated speed. (2) The movement direction is not checked during interpolation operation. Therefore, a deceleration stops are not carried out even the movement direction changes.

Page 553 12 CONTROL SUB FUNCTIONS MELSEC-Q 12.4.2 Torque limit function The "torque limit function" limits the generated torque to a value within the "torque limit value" setting range when the torque generated in the servomotor exceeds the "torque limit value". The "torque limit function" protects the deceleration function, limits the power of the operation pressing against the stopper, etc.
Page 554 12 CONTROL SUB FUNCTIONS MELSEC-Q POINT The QD75 monitors the creep speed reach during the OPR control and updates the " Md.35 Torque limit stored value" to the " Pr.54 OPR torque limit value". Monitoring this value prevents the need to monitor the creep speed reach by the program.
