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.
In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: " WARNING" and " CAUTION".
Under some circumstances, failure to observe the precautions given under " CAUTION" may lead to
serious consequences.
Observe the precautions of both levels because they are important for personal and system safety.
Make sure that the end users read this manual and then keep the manual in a safe place for future
reference.
[Design Precautions]
WARNING
Do not write any data to the "system area" of the buffer memory in the intelligent function
module.
Also, do not use any "use prohibited" signals as an output signal from the programmable
controller CPU to the intelligent function module.
Doing so may cause malfunction of the programmable controller system.
CAUTION
Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or
power cables.
Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction due to noise.

A - 2 A - 2
[Installation Precautions]
CAUTION
Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications in the
user's manual for the CPU module used.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of
the product.
To mount the module, while pressing the module mounting lever located in the lower part of the
module, fully insert the module fixing projection(s) into the hole(s) in the base unit and press the
module until it snaps into place.
Incorrect mounting may cause malfunction, failure or drop of the module.
When using the programmable controller in an environment of frequent vibrations, fix the
module with a screw.
Tighten the screws within the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause drop of the screw, short circuit or malfunction.
Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, or
malfunction.
Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing
the module.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the product.
A module can be replaced online (while power is on) on any MELSECNET/H remote I/O station
or in the system where a CPU module supporting the online module change function is used.
Note that there are restrictions on the modules that can be replaced online, and each module
has its predetermined replacement procedure.
For details, refer to the relevant chapter in this manual.
Do not directly touch any conductive and electronic component of the module.
Doing so can cause malfunction or failure of the module.

A - 3 A - 3
[Wiring Precautions]
WARNING
After wiring, attach the included terminal cover to the module before turning it on for operation.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
CAUTION
Individually ground the FG terminal of the programmable controller with a ground resistance of
100 or less.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.
Tighten the terminal screws within the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, or
malfunction.
Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module.
Such foreign matter can cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.
A protective film is attached to the top of the module to prevent foreign matter, such as wire
chips, from entering the module during wiring.
Do not remove the film during wiring.
Remove it for heat dissipation before system operation.
Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them with the specified torque.
If any solderless spade terminal is used, it may be disconnected when the terminal screw comes
loose, resulting in failure.

A - 4 A - 4
[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
WARNING
Do not touch any terminal while power is on.
Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction.
Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before cleaning the module or
retightening the terminal screws, connector screws, or module fixing screws.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
Undertightening can cause drop of the screw, short circuit or malfunction.
Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, or
malfunction.
CAUTION
Do not disassemble or modify the modules.
Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.
Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing
the module.
Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
A module can be replaced online (while power is on) on any MELSECNET/H remote I/O station
or in the system where a CPU module supporting the online module change function is used.
Note that there are restrictions on the modules that can be replaced online, and each module
has its predetermined replacement procedure.
For details, refer to the relevant chapter in this manual.
After the first use of the product, do not mount/remove the module to/from the base unit, and the
terminal block to/from the module more than 50 times (IEC 61131-2 compliant).
Exceeding the limit of 50 times may cause malfunction.

1 OVERVIEW MELSEC-Q
1 OVERVIEW
This user's manual provides the specifications, handling instructions, programming
procedures and other information of the Q64RD platinum RTD (Resistance
Temperature Detector) input module and the Q64RD-G channel isolated RTD input
module (hereinafter referred to as the Q64RD and Q64RD-G), which are designed to
use together with the MELSEC-Q series CPU module (hereinafter referred to as the
CPU).
The Q64RD is a module for connection of 3-wire or 4-wire type platinum RTDs (2-wire
application is available if terminals are short-circuited.) and converts temperature data [
] input from Pt100 or JPt100 platinum RTD (hereinafter referred to as PT100 or
JPt100) to:
• 16-bit signed binary data (stored as a value rounded off to 1 decimal place 10)
• 32-bit signed binary data (stored as a value rounded off to 3 decimal places 1000)
and scaling values (ratios (%)).
The Q64RD-G is a module for connection of 3-wire or 4-wire type RTDs (2-wire
application is available if terminals are short-circuited.) and converts temperature
data [ ] input from Pt100, JPt100 or nickel RTD Ni100 (hereinafter referred to as
Ni100) to:
• 16-bit signed binary data (stored as a value rounded off to 1 decimal place 10)
• 32-bit signed binary data (stored as a value rounded off to 3 decimal places 1000)
and scaling values (ratios (%)).

1 OVERVIEW MELSEC-Q
1.1 Features
(1) Channel isolation (Q64RD-G)
The Q64RD-G is a channel-isolated module.
(2) Four-channel temperature measurement by one module
The Q64RD and Q64RD-G are capable of measuring temperatures of 4
channels per module. Detected temperature values can be converted into
scaling values (ratios (%)).
(3) Conversion enable/disable setting
You can make a conversion enable/disable setting for each channel. Disabling
unused channels for conversion reduces sampling time.
It also prevents unnecessary disconnection detection on unused channels.
(4) Standard-compliant RTD is usable
(a) Platinum RTD compliant with JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) is usable
(Q64RD)
Two types of JIS-compliant platinum RTDs (Pt100 and JPt100) can be used.
The types can be selected for each channel on GX Developer.
(b) Platinum RTD compliant with JIS or Nickel RTD compliant with DIN is usable
(Q64RD-G)
In addition to the above 2 types of JIS-compliant platinum RTDs, DIN-
compliant nickel RTDs (Ni100) can be used.
The types of RTD can be selected for each channel on GX Developer.
(5) Connection of 3-wire or 4-wire RTD is available for each channel
For each channel, 3-wire or 4-wire RTD can be connected. By making the
terminals short-circuited, 2-wire RTD can be used.
(6) Disconnection detection
The disconnection of a platinum RTD or cable can be detected on each channel.
(7) Optimal processing selection is available
Selectable options of Sampling processing, Time averaging processing and
Count averaging processing, Moving average and Primary delay filter
A desired conversion method can be selected for each channel.
(8) Optimal range selection is available
(a) Ranges of -20 to 120 , -180 to 600 and -200 to 850 can be selected
(Q64RD)
When Pt100 or JPt100 is used, a desired range can be selected for each
channel.
(b) Ranges of 0 to 200 , -20 to 120 , -180 to 600 , -200 to 850 , -60 to 180
can be selected (Q64RD-G)
When a platinum RTD, Pt100 or JPt100 is used, a range of 0 to 200 , -20
to 120 , -180 to 600 or -200 to 850 can be selected for each channel.
When a nickel RTD, Ni100 is used, a range of -60 to 180 can be selected
for each channel.

1 OVERVIEW MELSEC-Q
(9) Error compensation by offset/gain value setting
Error compensation can be made by setting offset and gain values on each
channel.
As the offset and gain values, you can make selection from user settings and
factory settings.
(10) Warning output
If the temperature detected is outside the preset measurement range, a warning
can be output on each channel.
(11) Online Module Change
A module can be replaced without stopping the system.
Furthermore, original specifications can be transferred to the replacement
module by using a sequence program and by executing the following. (Note that
this is for modules of the same model only.)
• Inheritance of offset/gain settings to the new Q64RD/Q64RD-G after online
module change
• Transfer of offset/gain settings to the other Q64RD/Q64RD-G mounted on the
other slot
(12) Easy setting with GX Configurator-TI
The use of GX Configurator-TI, which is sold separately, reduces sequence
programming since Q64RD/Q64RD-G settings can be configured on the screen.
In addition, setting status and operating status of modules can be checked easily.
