Specific safety information and precautions
The following safety precautions are intended as a general guideline for using PLC systems together
with other equipment. These precautions must always be observed in the design, installation and operation of all control systems.

m

DANGER:
● Observe all safety and accident prevention regulations applicable to your specific application. Always disconnect all power supplies before performing installation and wiring work
or opening any of the assemblies, components and devices.
● Assemblies, components and devices must always be installed in a shockproof housing fitted
with a proper cover and fuses or circuit breakers.
● Devices with a permanent connection to the mains power supply must be integrated in the
building installations with an all-pole disconnection switch and a suitable fuse.
● Check power cables and lines connected to the equipment regularly for breaks and insulation
damage. If cable damage is found immediately disconnect the equipment and the cables
from the power supply and replace the defective cabling.
● Before using the equipment for the first time check that the power supply rating matches that
of the local mains power.
● Take appropriate steps to ensure that cable damage or core breaks in the signal lines cannot
cause undefined states in the equipment.
● You are responsible for taking the necessary precautions to ensure that programs interrupted by brownouts and power failures can be restarted properly and safely. In particular, you
must ensure that dangerous conditions cannot occur under any circumstances, even for brief
periods.
● EMERGENCY OFF facilities conforming to EN 60204/IEC 204 and VDE 0113 must remain fully
operative at all times and in all PLC operating modes. The EMERGENCY OFF facility reset
function must be designed so that it cannot ever cause an uncontrolled or undefined restart.
● You must implement both hardware and software safety precautions to prevent the possibility of undefined control system states caused by signal line cable or core breaks.
● When using modules always ensure that all electrical and mechanical specifications and
requirements are observed exactly.
● Residual current protective devices pursuant to DIN VDE Standard 0641 Parts 1-3 are not
adequate on their own as protection against indirect contact for installations with PLC
systems. Additional and/or other protection facilities are essential for such installations.
● Do not install/remove the module onto/from base unit or terminal block more than 50 times,
after the first use of the product (conforming to IEC 61131-2). Failure to do so may cause the
module to malfunction due to poor contact of connector.

Precautions to prevent damages by electrostatic discharge
Electronic devices and modules can be damaged by electrostatic charge, which is conducted from the
human body to components of the PLC. Always take the following precautions, when handling the
PLC:

b

WARNING:
● Before touching a module of the PLC, always touch grounded metal, etc. to discharge static
electricity from human body.
● Wear isolating gloves when touching the powered PLC, e. g. at maintenance during visual
check.
● You shouldn’t wear clothing made of synthetic fibre at low humidity. This clothing gets a very
high rate of electrostatic charge.

Introduction

Introduction
This english document is the original instruction.
This start-up guidance is intended for those who use the Q170MCPU standalone motion controller
and QD-Motion controller for the first time. How to use programming tool MT Works2 for motion CPU
and programming tool GX (IEC) Developer for sequencer CPU will be explained.
Refer to our QD-Motion controller/Q170MCPU manuals for further information.
(For manual numbers see preamble of this quick start guide.)

1.1

What is motion control?
A Motion control system comes from the combination of a Motion CPU and a PLC CPU.
While the Motion CPU controls complex servo movements by synchronizing the connected servo axes, the PLC CPU is responsible for machine's general control and communication.
With a motion control system you are able to solve different positioning applications from positioning with one axis in small production lines up to multi-axis positioning in large-scale systems.
The Motion CPU controls different more or less complex motion sequences via the connected servo
amplifiers and motors.
Typical applications of a motion control systems are:
● Plastics and textile processing,
● Packaging,
● Printing and paper converting,
● Forming,
● Wood and glass working,
● Production of semiconductors.

Block diagram of a motion control system


All of Mitsubishi motion controllers exploit the potentiality of the proprietary high-speed motion
network SSCNET III.
A Multiple CPU system is a system in which between the PLC CPU area and Motion CPU area are connected with the Multiple CPU high speed bus in order to control the I/O modules and intelligent function modules. PLC CPU area is fixed as CPU No. 1, and Motion CPU area is fixed as CPU No. 2. The Motion
CPU area controls the servo amplifiers connected by SSCNET III cable.
The Multiple CPU high speed transmission memory between the PLC CPU area and Motion CPU area
can communicate at a rate of 0.88 ms.

1.1.2

Difference between Q170MCPU and QD Motion controllers
With the motion controller Q170MCPU, the functionality of the PLC CPU and the Motion CPU is integrated in one compact housing. That means, compared to the modules Q172DCPU and Q173DCPU,
there is no need of an additional PLC and base unit for the configuration of a motion system.
Synchronous encoder interface is included as standard, enabling multiple axes synchronization with
an external encoder.
Applications as labelling, packaging and material handling do not require any other optional module.

Start-up and trial operation
DANGER:
● Be sure to ground the Motion controllers, servo amplifiers and servomotors (Ground
resistance: 100 Ω or less). Do not ground commonly with other devices.
● Never open the front case or terminal cover at times other than wiring work or periodic
inspections even if the power is OFF. The insides of the Motion controller and servo amplifier
are charged and may lead to electric shocks.
● When performing wiring work or inspections, turn the power OFF, wait at least ten minutes,
and then check the voltage with a tester, etc. Failing to do so may lead to electric shocks.
● Wire the units after mounting the Motion controller, servo amplifier and servomotor. Failing
to do so may lead to electric shocks or damage.

b

WARNING:
● Check that the combination of modules are correct. Wrong combination may damage the
modules.
● When using a regenerative resistor, shut the power OFF with an error signal. The regenerative resistor may abnormally overheat due to a fault in the regenerative transistor, etc. and
may lead to fires.
● Always take heat measure such as flame proofing for the inside of the control panel where
the servo amplifier or regenerative resistor is mounted and for the wires used. Failing to do
so may lead to fires.
● Do not mount a phase advancing capacitor, surge absorber or radio noise filter (option
FR-BIF) on the output side of the servo amplifier.
● Correctly connect the output side (terminal U, V, W). Incorrect connections will lead the servo
motor to operate abnormally.
● Set parameter values to those that are compatible with the Motion controller, servo amplifier, servo motor and regenerative resistor model name and the system name application.
The protective functions may not function if the settings are incorrect.
● Always mount a leakage breaker on the Motion controller and servo amplifier power source.
● Install emergency stop circuit externally so that operation can be stopped immediately and
the power shut off.
● Use the program commands for the program with the conditions specified in the instruction
manual.
● Some devices used in the program have fixed applications, so use these with the conditions
specified in the programming manual.
● If safety standards (ex., robot safety rules, etc.,) apply to the system using the Motion
controller, servo amplifier and servo motor, make sure that the safety standards are satisfied.
● Construct a safety circuit externally of the Motion controller or servo amplifier if the abnormal operation of the Motion controller or servo amplifier differ from the safety directive
operation in the system.
● The system must have a mechanical allowance so that the machine itself can stop even if the
stroke limits switch is passed through at the max. speed.
● Execute the test operation in the system that it is low-speed as much as possible and put
forced stop and confirm the operation and safety.

Step

Description

5a

Add an F-block, 2 x G-block, 2 x K-block, a Jump, and a Pointer to the program by left-clicking the respective button on the menu bar
and left-clicking in the program workspace. Press the Esc key (or right click) after adding each block to the workspace.

5b

Double-click the F-block, enter "0" for the program number. Next, press Enter or click the Edit button. In the Program Editor window,
type "SET M2402". The common system device M2402 enables "Servo On" for all axes when set.

5c

Double-click the G-block, enter "0" for the program number. Next, press Enter and then input the text "M2415". The axis status device
M2415 shows if axis 1 is ready. We are telling the controller to wait until the axis is fully initialized before moving on to the next step.
Without such a delay in front of a motion command (K-block), an error is likely to occur.

5d

Double-click the K-block, enter "1" for the program number. Next, press Enter and select "Linear Interpol." as the Command Class and
"INC-1" as the Servo Command. Click OK. The Servo Program Editor window will now open.
In the Servo Program Editor window, set the Axis to 1 and the travel amount to 20000 PLS. Then set the Speed to 20000 PLS/s.

5e

Repeat step 5c.

5f

Repeat step 5d changing the travel amount to -20000 PLS.
