DANGER
CAUTION
zSAFETY PRECAUTIONS z
(Read these precautions before using.)
When using Mitsubishi equipment, thoroughly read this manual and the
associated manuals introduced in the manual. Also pay careful attention to
safety and handle the module properly.
These precautions apply only to Mitsubishi equipment. Refer to the user’s
manual of the CPU module to use for a description of the PLC system safety
precautions.
These "SAFETY PRECAUTIONS" classify the safety precautions into two
categories: "DANGER" and "CAUTION".
Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition and
cause death or serious injury, if not carried out properly.
Procedures which may lead to a dangerous condition and
cause superficial to medium injury, or physical damage
only, if not carried out properly.
Depending on circumstances, procedures indicated by CAUTION may also
be linked to serious results.
In any case, it is important to follow the directions for usage.
Store this manual in a safe place so that you can take it out and read it
whenever necessary. Always forward it to the end user.
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
zDo 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 100 mm (3.94 inch) or more from each other.
Not doing so could result in noise that may cause malfunction.
zAt power ON/OFF, voltage or current may instantaneously be output from
the output terminal of this module. In such case, wait until the analog
output becomes stable to start controlling the external device.

A-2
[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
zUse the PLC in an environment that meets the general specifications given
in the User's Manual of the CPU module being used.
Using this PLC in an environment outside the range of the general
specifications may cause electric shock, fire, malfunction, and damage to
or deterioration of the product.
zWhen installing the module, securely insert the module fixing tabs into the
mounting holes of the base unit while pressing the installation lever located
a t the bottom of the module downward.
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.
zTighten 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.
zBe 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.
zDo not directly touch the conductive area or electronic components of the
module.
Doing so may cause malfunction or failure in the module.
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
CAUTION
zAlways ground the FG terminal for the PLC.
There is a risk of electric shock or malfunction.
zWhen turning on the power and operating the module after wiring is
completed, always attach the terminal cover that comes with the product.
There is a risk of electric shock if the terminal cover is not attached.
zTighten the terminal screws within the range of specified torque.
If the terminal screws are loose, it may result in short circuits or
malfunction.
If the terminal screws are tightened too much, it may cause damage to the
screw and/or the module, resulting in short circuits or malfunction.
zBe careful not to let foreign matters such as sawdust or wire chips get
inside the module.
These may cause fires, failure or malfunction.
zThe top surface of the module is covered with protective film to prevent
foreign objects such as cable offcuts from entering the module when wiring.
Do not remove this film until the wiring is complete.
Before operating the system, be sure to remove the film to provide
adequate heat ventilation.

4. Handling Precautions
(1) Do not drop the module or cause it to receive strong impact.
(2) Tighten the terminal screws for the module to the specified torque shown
below.
Insufficient tightening torque could result in shorts, failures or malfunction.
Screw location Tightening torque
Module mounting screw (M3 screw) 0.36 to 0.48 N·m
Terminal block terminal screw (M3 screw) 0.42 to 0.58 N·m
Terminal block mounting screw (M3.5 screw) 0.66 to 0.89 N·m
FG terminal screw (M3 screw) * 0.42 to 0.58 N·m
* Q68DAVN, Q68DAIN only
5. Wiring
5.1 Wiring precautions
In order to optimize the functions of the D/A converter module and ensure
system reliability, external wiring that is protected from noise is required.
Please observe the following precautions for external wiring:
(1) Use separate cables for the AC control circuit and the external input
signals of the D/A converter module to avoid the influence of the AC side
surges and inductions.
(2) Do not mount the cables close to or bundle them with the main circuit line,
a high-voltage cable or a load cable from other than the PLC. This may
increase the effects of noise, surges and induction.
(3) Perform a one-point grounding for shielded lines and the shields of sealed
cables.
(4) A solderless terminal with insulating sleeve cannot be used for the
terminal block. Covering the cable- connection portion of the solderless
terminal with a marked tube or an insulation tube is recommended.
Point
When using Q68DAVN or Q68DAIN, If it is difficult to wire FG terminals due
to the limited installation space, use FG terminal L-shaped metal fitting.

Point
(1) Depending on the type of module used, the settings for D/A module
output range are shown below.
• Q62DAN, Q64DAN .... 0Hto 4H, FH
• Q68DAVN.................. 0H, 2Hto 4H, FH
1:When the setting is 0H, the output operating
range swill be 1 to 5 V.
• Q68DAIN.................... 0H, 1H, FH
(2) For Q62DAN and Q64DAN, leave the switch2 vacant.
(3) For Q68DAVN and Q68DAIN, the switch 3 will set in binary.
Setting will be easy if the input format is changed to binary number.
Example) For setting CH3, CH5 and CH8 to HOLD.
Input format Binary Hexadecimal
Setting value 10010100 94 H
(4) If the offset/gain setting mode is set using intelligent function module
switch 4, other settings by switch 4 (settings for resolution mode and
synchronous output mode) will be ignored.
(5) Perform the offset/gain settings after checking the RUN LED flashes in
offset/gain setting mode. If the RUN LED does not flash, check to see if
the switch 4 setting is correct.
(6) Since the analog output value will differ considerably, depending on the
resolution mode setting, thoroughly check the settings for the intelligent
function module switches before performing the analog output
processing.
Example) Analog output value when the setting range is -10 to 10V and
the digital input value is set to 4000.
High resolution
mode Normal resolution mode
Analog output value About 2.5 V About 10.0 V
