(b) High Performance model QCPU, Process CPU, Redundant CPU or

Universal model QCPU Access to the intelligent function module: 20s/word (approximately 7 times*2) MELSECNET/H link refreshing: 4.6ms/8K words (approximately 4.3 times*2) *2: These are the values resulted from the following comparison:

Comparing Q02HCPU with Q2ASHCPU-S1

Comparing Q25PHCPU with Q4ARCPU

Comparing Q25PRHCPU with Q4ARCPU

(4) Increased debugging efficiency through high-speed communication with GX Works2 High-speed communications at maximum 115.2Kbps are available by RS-232 and the time required for writing and reading of programs and monitoring are reduced. Also, the communication time efficiency of debugging is increased. In addition, High Performance model QCPUs (except for the Q02CPU), Process CPUs, Redundant CPUs, and Universal model QCPUs support USB, which enables high-speed communications at 12Mbps.

(5) AnS/A series I/O modules and special function modules are available The AnS/A series compatible extension base units (QA1S6 B, QA6 B, and QA6ADP+A5 B/A6 B) enable High Performance model QCPU to use the AnS/A series I/O modules and special function modules. * The extension base unit for the A series cannot be used for the Universal

model QCPU.

(6) Saved space by downsizing The installation space for the Q series is reduced by approximately 60% compared with the AnS series.

(8) Memory extension by memory card*3

The QCPU equips the memory card installing connector so that a memory card with the capacity of up to 32M byte can be connected. (The 32M-byte memory card can be connected only when an ATA card is used.) Installing large-capacity memory cards enables large-capacity files to be managed, which allows for the comment setting to all data devices and saving old programs in a memory as correction data. *3: The Basic model QCPU, Q00(J)CPU, and Q01UCPU do not support memory cards.

POINT

For the High Performance model QCPU, available file register points differs depending on the function version and serial number. For details, refer to the QCPU User's Manual Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection.

(9) Automatic writing to standard ROM*4,*5 Parameters and programs of the memory cards can be written to the standard ROM of the CPU module without GX Works2. *4: The Basic model QCPU does not support the following functions.

Automatic writing to standard ROM *5: The Universal model QCPU does not support the following function.

Automatic writing to standard ROM

(10) Forced on and off of external I/O*6 Even when the CPU module is running, forced on and off of external input and output is available with GX Works2 regardless of the program execution status. Also, the wiring and operation tests can be conducted without stopping the CPU module by forcibly turning on or off the I/O. *6: The Basic model QCPU does not support the following functions.

Forced on and off of external I/O

(11) Remote password setting When the built-in Ethernet port QCPU, Ethernet module, or serial communication module is externally accessed, an access to the CPU module can be controlled by the remote password.

1 - 5

(12) Remote I/O network of MELSECNET/H*7

A MELSECNET/H remote I/O system can be configured by installing a MELSECNET/H remote master station. *7: The Basic model QCPU does not support the following functions.

Remote I/O network of MELSECNET/H

POINT The remote password can be set when the built-in Ethernet port QCPU,

Ethernet module, or serial communication module of function version B or later is used.

The MELSECNET/H remote I/O network can be implemented when the MELSECNET/H network module of function version B or later is used.

(13) Supporting the multiple CPU system The Q series CPU module supports the multiple CPU system. Multiple CPU system can be configured in combination with CPU modules, motion CPUs, PC CPU modules, and C Controller module. For details of the multiple CPU system, refer to the QCPU User's Manual (Multiple CPU System).

(14) Supporting the redundant power supply system The redundant power supply system can be configured with a redundant base unit and redundant power supply modules. The system can continue operation even when one of the power supply modules fails, since the other supplies the power.

(15) Direct connection to Ethernet*8 The Built-in Ethernet port QCPU module allows for direct connections to Ethernet. For details of the functions, refer to the QnUCPU User's Manual Communication via Built-in Ethernet Port. *8: Applicable only to the built-in Ethernet port QCPU.

Program memory: A memory for storing programs and parameters for CPU module operation A program operation is executed by transferring a program stored in the program memory to the program cache memory.

Program cache memory: A memory for operating programs A program operation is executed by transferring a program stored in the program memory to the program cache memory.

Standard RAM: A memory for using file registers, local devices, and sampling trace files without a memory card Using the standard RAM as the file registers enables the high-speed access as well as data registers. The standard RAM is also used for storing the module error collection file.

Standard ROM: A memory for storing data such as parameters and programs Memory card (RAM): A card for storing the file register, local device, device initial value,

sampling trace file, and device comments with the parameters and program

Memory card (ROM): A Flash card for storing parameters, programs, and file registers. An ATA card stores parameters, programs, and the programmable controller user data (general-purpose files).

POINT

Secure backup by long-term storage Programs and parameter files are automatically backed up to the program memory (Flash ROM) which does not require a battery backup. This prevents a loss of the program and parameter data due to the flat battery. The battery backup time is also reduced significantly. In addition, the important data (such as device data) can be backed up to the standard ROM to prevent a loss of the data due to the flat battery in case of consecutive holidays. The backup data is restored automatically when the power is turned on next time.

2.4.2 Memory card application

A QCPU equips a built-in memory as standard for storing parameters and programs, therefore, the programs can be executed without a memory card. The memory cards are required for the situations in the table below.

*: A memory card cannot be used for Q00UJCPU, Q00UCPU, Q01UCPU.

(1) SRAM card

File registers in the SRAM card can be written or read by the sequence program. The SRAM card is used when:

the number of file registers exceeds the standard RAM capacity, or the sampling trace function is used.

When file registers are stored to the SRAM card, they can be written or read by the sequence program up to 4086K points.

(2) Flash card

Write data with GX Works2 and read it by the sequence program. (Data can only be read by the sequence program.) Use the Flash card when changing the data is unnecessary. File registers can be stored up to 2039K points.

(3) ATA card

An ATA card is used for programmable controller user data (general-purpose data). Programmable controller user data of an ATA card can be accessed by the file access instruction (such as the SP.FWRITE instruction) in a sequence program through a CSV format or binary format.
