CHAPTER1 OVERVIEW
This user's manual provides the specifications, handling instructions, programming
procedures, and other information of the Q64AD2DA analog input/output module
(hereinafter the "Q64AD2DA"), which is designed to use with the MELSEC-Q series CPU
module.
1.1 Features
(1) Analog input and output using a module
The Q64AD2DA can perform both A/D conversion using four channels and D/A
conversion using two channels.
(2) Ranges can be set for each channel
Various voltage or current range can be set for each channel.
Also, the ranges can be switched by using GX Developer.*1
* 1 Set in Switch setting for I/O and intelligent function module dialog box.
(3) Switching resolution mode
A resolution can be selected from a normal resolution mode (1/4000) and high
resolution mode (1/12000 or 1/16000).*2
* 2 Set in Switch setting for I/O and intelligent function module dialog box.
(4) Scaling function
Digital output values can be converted to scaling values (ratio (%)) and the converted
values can be stored into buffer memory.
In D/A conversion, an input range of digital input values can be changed to a setting
range and the analog output can be performed.
(5) Shifting function
In A/D conversion, a given value is added to an A/D converted digital output value.
In D/A conversion, a given value is added to a digital input value and an analog value
is output.
Changing a shifting quantity reflects the output value in real time. Therefore, the
output value can be adjusted with the shifting function when the CPU is powered on.
(6) Input range extended mode function
The analog input range, 4 to 20mA and 1 to 5V can be increased to the input range of
0 to 22mA and 0 to 5.5V, respectively.*3
A/D conversion can be performed even if the input range falls below 4mA or 1V, when
sensors do not measure concrete values.
Combining the input range extended mode function and input signal error detection
function detects a disconnection.
* 3 Set in Switch setting for I/O and intelligent function module dialog box.

1OVERVIEW
(7) Logging facility
The A/D converted digital output values can be stored into buffer memory.
Logging data can be stored up to 10000th data point storage area for a channel.
The logging facility logs data every sampling periods in the shortest period.
In addition, the logging facility logs large volumes of data at high speeds, resulting in
improving efficiency of debugging.
(8) Online module change
Modules can be changed without the system being stopped.
(9) Easy setting using GX Configurator-AD or GX Configurator-DA
The number of sequence programs can be reduced since GX Configurator-AD or GX
Configurator-DA*1 (sold separately) allows the Q64AD2DA settings on the dialog box.
Also, GX Configurator-AD or GX Configurator-DA simplifies checking of the module
settings and operation status.
In addition, FB*2 can be automatically created from intelligent function module
parameters set in advance to use them in a sequence program.
* 1 Either GX Configurator-AD or GX Configurator-DA checks the intelligent function module
parameter setting and the setting status or operation status of the Q64AD2DA.
In addition, the setting and status can be checked by installing both GX Configurator-AD and GX
Configurator-DA.
* 2 FB is the function for making a circuit block used in a sequence program repeatedly a part (FB) to
use it in the sequence program.
This function can improve the efficiency of program development and minimize program bugs to
improve program qualities.
For the details of FB, refer to GX Developer Version 8 Operating Manual (Function
Block).
