Q Series-Compatible Mode Function - Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-R Series User Manual

Q Series-Compatible Mode Function

This function can be used to arrange the buffer memory addresses of the pulse input module in a manner equivalent to that of
MELSEC-Q series modules. This makes it possible to reuse sequence programs used with MELSEC-Q series modules.
The MELSEC-Q series compatibility target module is shown below.

RD60P8-G
Operation
In Q series-compatible mode, only the buffer memory assignment is changed. The assignment of I/O signals (X/Y) does not
change from R mode and is the same as on the QD60P8-G.
For details on Q series-compatible mode buffer memory assignment, refer to the following.
Page 70 When Q series-compatible mode is used
• When reusing MELSEC-Q series sequence programs, if error codes are set to operation conditions or
interlock conditions, the programs will not operate normally.
• In Q series-compatible mode, it is not possible to create programs that use RD60P8-G module labels. When
using module labels, create programs in R mode.
Setting method
1.
When adding a new module, select a module that has "(Q)" at the end of its module model name.

2.
Set the module parameters the same as when using R mode.
3.
After writing the module parameters, restart the CPU module.
• During module operation, it is not possible to switch between R mode and Q series-compatible mode.
• QD60P8-G projects created in GX Works2 can be read from GX Works3. The read project inherits the
QD60P8-G settings as the RD60P8-G settings. The settings that can be inherited are the switch setting,
parameter setting, auto refresh setting, and I/O assignment setting. For the method to read other file
formats in GX Works3, refer to GX Works3 Operating Manual.
