[Design Precautions]
WARNING
Do not write data into the "System area" of the buffer memory of intelligent function modules.
Also, do not use any "Use prohibited" signals as an output signal to an intelligent function
module from the programmable controller CPU.
Writing data into the "System area" or outputting a signal for "Use prohibited" may cause a
programmable controller system malfunction.
CAUTION
Do not bunch the control wires or communication cables with the main circuit or power wires, or
install them close to each other.
They should be installed 100mm(3.9inch) or more from each other.
Not doing so could result in noise that may cause malfunction.
At power-on, a voltage may be applied or a current may flow between output terminals for a
moment. In such case, wait until the analog output becomes stable to start controlling the
external device.

[Installation Precautions]
CAUTION
Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications
contained in the user's manual of the CPU module to use.
Using this programmable controller in an environment outside the range of the general
specifications may cause electric shock, fire, malfunction, and damage to or deterioration of the
product.
While pressing the installation lever at the bottom of module, insert the module fixing tab into the
fixing hole in the base unit until it stops.
Improper installation may result in malfunction, breakdown or the module coming loose and
dropping.
Securely fix the module with screws if it is subject to vibration during use.
Tighten the screws within the range of specified torque.
If the screws are loose, it may cause the module to fallout, short circuits, or malfunction.
If the screws are tightened too much, it may cause damage to the screw and/or the module,
resulting in fallout, short circuits or malfunction.
Be sure to shut off all phases of the external power supply used by the system before mounting
or removing the module.
Not doing so may cause damage to the module.
In the system where a CPU module supporting Online module change is used and on the
MELSECNET/H remote I/O stations, modules can be replaced online (during energizing).
However, there are some restrictions on replaceable modules and the replacement procedures
are predetermined for each module.
For details, refer to the chapter of Online module change in this manual.
Do not directly touch the conductive area or electronic components of the module.
Doing so may cause malfunction or failure in the module.
[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
100Ωor less.
There is a risk of electric shock or malfunction.
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.
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

1 OVERVIEW
1 OVERVIEW
This User's Manual describes the specifications, handling and programming methods
for the Q62DA-FG type channel isolated digital-analog converter module (hereinafter
referred to as the Q62DA-FG) which are used in conjunction with MELSEC-Q series
CPU module (hereinafter referred to as the programmable controller CPU).
1.1 Features
(1) Channel isolated
The module is isolated between the channels and between the external supply
power and channels.
(2) High accuracy
The reference accuracy 1is as high as 0.1% and the temperature
coefficient 2is as high as 80ppm/°C.
1: Accuracy attained at the ambient temperature when offset/gain setting has
been made
2: Accuracy per temperature change of 1°C
Example) Accuracy when the ambient temperature varies from 25°C to 30°C
0.1% (reference accuracy) + 0.008%/°C (temperature coefficient)
5°C (temperature variation difference) = 0.14%
(3) Output range switching
The output range 1switching can be set easily from GX Developer.
1: The output range indicates the offset/gain setting type. Besides the generally
often used output ranges available as defaults, the user can make
offset/gain settings and use the values.
(4) Analog output HOLD/CLEA function
This function is used to set whether the analog output value will be held or
cleared when the CPU module is in a STOP status or when a stop error occurs.
(5) Output monitor function
The analog output value output by D/A conversion is reconverted into a digital
value within the Q62DA-FG and the result is stored into the buffer memory as an
output monitor value.
(6) Warning output function
A warning is output if a digital input value falls outside the setting range.
(7) Rate control function
The increment and decrement of the analog output value per conversion cycle
can be restricted.
(8) Disconnection detection function
When the analog output range is 4 to 20mA, 4 to 20mA (Extended mode), or
user range setting 1, the output monitor value is watched to detect disconnection.

1 OVERVIEW
(9) Online module change
Further, the specifications can be handed down to the new Q62DA-FG by the
followings:
• Succession of offset/gain settings to the new Q62DA-FG replaced by Online
module change.
• Transfer of offset/gain setting values to the other Q62DA-FG mounted on the
other slots.
(10) Offset/gain setting
GX Configurator-DA, dedicated instruction (G(P). OFFGAN) or Mode switching
setting allows a shift to the offset/gain setting mode easily.
(11) Easy settings with GX Configurator-DA
The number of sequence programs can be reduced since GX Configurator-DA
(sold separately) allows the Q62DA-FG settings on the dialog box.
Also, GX Configurator-DA simplifies checking of the module settings and
operation status.
In addition, FB 1can be automatically created from intelligent function module
parameters set in advance to use them in a sequence program.
1 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)."
