Q Series CPU lineup provides answers for a vast range of application requirements. The Q Series lineup covers a various range of applications be it, programmable controller, process, motion, or information control. The basic model QCPU range is designed ideally for small scale applications. With the unique Multiple CPU functionality, each process area of the application can be selectively controlled by different CPUs situated on the same main base unit. Therefore, this lineup provides an ideal solution for each required application. The redundant CPU system ensures robust operation in the...

High performance and flexibility on a small footprint Mounting Area In the Q Series, 2, 3, 5, 8 and 12 I/O slot main base units are available. The mounting area can be further reduced by using the slim type base unit. I Mounting Area (Depth: 98mm) Main base unit Slim type main base unit Note) The slim base does not support the Mounting Freedom Choose from 2, 3, 5, 8 and 12 I/O slot bases to design the best system for the required application. Connect extension bases directly by using cables alone. Therefore, no need for network modules, adapters, or configuration software to distribute base...

Multi CPUs break through the limitation of programmable Multiple CPU System Configuration The Q Series can combine multiple CPUs together on the same system to build the required application configuration. Control of I/O modules can be segmented between different CPUs. CPUs communicate with each other via shared memory, and can increase system performance by distributing tasks between different CPUs. A variety of methods exist for controlling the methods by which CPUs communicate, but in each case the development effort is simplified by available software tools. * The redundant CPU does not...

The redundant system prevents the sudden fault. An entire system including the power supply module, CPU and base unit is designed with redundancy. It provides the suitable system for diverse area of automation. •Even if a failure occurs in the control system, the standby system takes over the control to continue the system operation. •The Q Series products, such as I/O, intelligent and network modules, can be used without any changes (except for some modules* •The remote I/O reduces risks with decentralized control. •GX Developer and PX Developer offer simple engineering environment for...

Constructing a highly-reliable network with redundant master stations Multiplex remote station By providing a multiplex remote master station and multiplex remote sub-master station on one remote I/O network, the remote I/O network can be controlled by the multiplex remote sub-master station even if the multiplex remote master station's programmable controller CPU fails. Provisions for failure of the multiplex remote sub-master station can also be taken by returning the multiplex remote master station during control of the remote I/O network with the multiplex remote sub-master station....
