Chapter 1 System Configuration
1-1 Q series PLC introduction
Q-series PLC is a safe, reliable and easy-to- maintain standard PLC with modular structure design.
Q-series PLC contains the functions of the traditional PLC, supporting multiple remote I/O modules
extensions, and will support local extension in the near future. Various functions of motion control can be
realized through SoftMotion provided by PLC. It is a device that integrates the high-speed EtherCAT
communication, vision, motion control, I/O functions, and supports multiple bus communications
(including Modbus TCP, CANopen, serial communication, etc.)
Q-series PLC provides the standard EtherCAT interface, which can be used with the EtherCAT slave and
CODESYS for best performance. It can also be connected to a third- party EtherCAT slave.
1-1-1 System configuration
Building a typical control system with Q-series PLC, the connection between the PLC and setup support
software/I/O module are as follows:
The PC needs to meet the installation environment requirements of CODESYS programming software.
For details, please refer to the Q1 Software Manual or CODESYS website
The main unit has 16 points high-speed I/O, 4 RJ45 ports and 2 network ports for EtherCAT master.
Additional features are optional(excluding customized models)
The power supply of extension module is provided by EC coupler. Now only 10 slave stations are
supported. If more slave stations are needed, add the EC coupler.
The slave module end needs to cooperate with the terminal module to protecte the salve module.CPU unit
metal sheet from external disturbance. Failure to do so may cause equipment failure or module damage.
