•SAFETY PRECAUTIONS •
(Always read these instructions before using this equipment.)
Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals introduced in this manual
carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle the product correctly.
The instructions given in this manual are concerned with this product only. For the safety instructions of
the programmable controller system, please read the user's manual for the CPU module to use.
In this manual, the safety precautions are ranked as "DANGER" and "CAUTION".
!DANGER
CAUTION
!
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,
resulting in death or severe injury.
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,
resulting in medium or slight personal injury or physical damage.
Note that the !CAUTION level may lead to a serious consequence according to the circumstances.
Always follow the instructions of both levels because they are important to personal safety.
Please store this manual in a safe place and make it accessible when required. Always forward it to the
end user.
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
!DANGER
•If a communication error occurs in the AS-i system, the input will turn OFF from the slave having
the communication error.
Output to the slave having the communication error will be held or cleared depending on the
slave specifications.
The AS-i system communication error can be confirmed with the buffer memory's List of Active
Slaves (LAS) (15H to 18H) and with the input signal Configuration error (X4).
Using the above information, configure an interlock circuit on the sequence program so that the
system activates safely.
There is a risk of accidents caused by incorrect outputs or operations.
•Depending on the module fault, the input/output could enter ON or OFF status.
Provide an external monitoring circuit for I/O signals that could lead to major accidents.
!CAUTION
•Do not bundle AS-i cable together with main circuit or power lines, or lay them close to these
lines.
As a guide, separate these lines by a distance of at least 100 mm, otherwise malfunctions may
occur due to noise.

[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]
!CAUTION
•Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications in
CPU module User’s Manual.
Using the programmable controller in an environment outside the range of the general
specifications could result in cause electric shock, fire, erroneous operation, and damage to or
deterioration of the product.
•Do not touch conductive parts or electronic components of the module with your bare hands.
This could cause malfunction or failure of the module.
•While pressing the lever on the lower part of the module, fully insert the module fixing latch into
the hole of the base unit, snap the module into place, and tighten the module fixing screws with
the specified torque.
Failure to observe this could result in damage to the screws or module, module falling, short or
misoperation.
If the screws are tightened excessively, it may damage the screws and cause the module to
short-circuit, malfunction or fall off.
•Always shut off all phases of the programmable controller power supply and AS-i power supply
externally before mounting or removing the module.
Failure to shut off all phases could lead to product damage.
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
!DANGER
•Switch off all phases of the programmable controller power supply and AS-i power supply
outside the programmable controller before starting installing or wiring work.
There is a risk of electric shock or malfunction.
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
!CAUTION
•Always confirm the products terminal layout before wiring to the module.
Incorrect wiring could lead to fires or faults.
•Wiring installation screws to the specified torque.
If a wiring installation screws is not tightened to the specified torque, the module may fall out,
short circuit, or malfunction.
If a wiring installation screws is tightened excessively, exceeding the specified torque, the
module may fall out, short circuit, or malfunction due to breakage of the screw or the module.
•Make sure that no foreign matter such as chips or wire offcuts gets inside the module.
It will cause fire, failure, or malfunction.
•A label is installed at the upper part of a module to prevent the entry of foreign matters. Do not
remove the label during wiring. However, be sure to remove it for heat dissipation during
system operation.

[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
!CAUTION
•To connect the AS-i cable to the module, the cable must be securely fixed. Please be sure to
run it in a duct, or clamp it.
Failure to observe this could cause the unstable cable connection, resulting in damage to the
cable or module by carelessly pulling the cable, or the system malfunction due to poor cable
connection.
•When removing the AS-i cable from a module, do not pull it out by hand. Always be sure to
unscrew the module mounting screws in advance.
If the cable is pulled while being connected to the module, it could cause damage to the cable or
module, or the system malfunction due to poor cable connection.
[STARTING AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS]
!CAUTION
•Do not touch terminals while the power is ON.
This could cause misoperations.
•Do not disassemble or modify any module.
This could cause failure, misoperation, injuries, or fire.
•When cleaning a module or retightening terminal screws, always be sure to externally switch off
all the phases of the programmable controller power supply and AS-i power supply in advance.
Failure to observe this could result in module failure or misoperation.
Loose or excessive tightening could cause damage to the module or screws, module falling,
short or misoperation.
•When mounting or removing a module, always be sure to externally switch off all the phases of
the programmable controller power supply and AS-i power supply in advance.
Failure to observe this could result in module failure or misoperation.
•Do not mount/remove the module to/from the base unit more than 50 times after the first use of the
product. (IEC 61131-2 compliant)
Failure to do so may cause malfunction.
•Always make sure to touch the grounded metal to discharge the electricity charged in the body,
etc., before touching the module.
Failure to do so may cause a failure or malfunctions of the module.
[DISPOSAL PRECAUTIONS]
!CAUTION
•When disposing of this product, treat it as industrial waste.

MELSEC-Q
1 OVERVIEW
1.1 Features
The QJ71AS92 has the following features.
(1) Maximum number of connected slaves
As the AS-i master, the QJ71AS92 can control a maximum of 62 slaves by
splitting the slave addresses into two groups (A and B).
(2) Communication with analog slaves
Provided that one channel is equal to 16 bits, the QJ71AS92 can communicate
with AS-i analog input or output slaves of one to four channels.
(3) Overall distance
The overall distance is 100m.
Note that the overall distance can be extended to up to 300m by using two
repeaters.
(4) Automatic slave address assignment function (Automatic address
assignment function)
The QJ71AS92 can automatically assign the same address to the new slave
(same type of product), whose slave address is 0, when changing a slave.
(5) Easy setting by using utility package (Sold separately)
GX Configurator-AS is available as an utility package (Sold separately).
Although not necessarily required, GX Configurator-AS enables the automatic
refresh to be set from within the software, resulting in easy sequence
programming, slave address setting, and monitoring of the setting and operation
statuses.

The following methods can be used to connect the AS-i system.
(1) The star method, line method, tree method or ring method can be
used to connect the AS-i system.
(2) The AS-i system does not require a terminator. The overall
distance is 100m when a repeater is not used, and 300m when two
repeaters are used.

power supply can be connected at any place on the AS-i system.
When using a repeater, connect an AS-i power supply unit after the
repeater is connected.
