 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 
(Read these precautions before using this product.)
Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full
attention to safety to handle the product correctly.
The precautions given in this manual are concerned with this product only. For the safety precautions of
the programmable controller system, refer to the user’s manual for the CPU module used.
In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: " ! WARNING" and " ! CAUTION".
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,

! WARNING
resulting in death or severe injury.
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,

! CAUTION resulting in minor or moderate injury or property damage.
Under some circumstances, failure to observe the precautions given under " ! CAUTION" may lead to
serious consequences.
Observe the precautions of both levels because they are important for personal and system safety.
Make sure that the end users read this manual and then keep the manual in a safe place for future
reference.
[Design Precautions]
! WARNING
• Configure safety circuits external to the programmable controller to ensure that the entire system
operates safely even when a fault occurs in the external power supply or the programmable
controller. Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.
(1) Configure external safety circuits, such as an emergency stop circuit, protection circuit, and
protective interlock circuit for forward/reverse operation or upper/lower limit positioning.
(2) When the programmable controller detects an abnormal condition, it stops the operation and
all outputs are:
(a) Turned off if the overcurrent or overvoltage protection of the power supply module is
activated.
(b) Held or turned off according to the parameter setting if the self-diagnostic function of the
CPU module detects an error such as a watchdog timer error.
Note, however, that AnS series modules on the system turn off all outputs in both cases.
All outputs may turn on if an error occurs in a part, such as an I/O control part, where the
CPU module cannot detect any error. To ensure safety operation in such a case, provide a
safety mechanism or a fail-safe circuit external to the programmable controller. For a fail-
safe circuit example, refer to the user’s manual for the CPU module used.
(3) Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of an output module relay or transistor.
Configure an external circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a serious
accident.
A-1 A-1
! WARNING
• In an output module, when a load current exceeding the rated current or an overcurrent caused
by a load short-circuit flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this,
configure an external safety circuit, such as a fuse.
• Configure a circuit so that the programmable controller is turned on first and then the external
power supply.
If the external power supply is turned on first, an accident may occur due to an incorrect output
or malfunction.
• For the operating status of each station after a communication failure, refer to relevant manuals
for each network.
Incorrect output or malfunction due to a communication failure may result in an accident.
• When changing data of the running programmable controller from a peripheral connected to the
CPU module or from a personal computer connected to an intelligent function module, configure
an interlock circuit in the sequence program to ensure that the entire system will always operate
safely.
For other controls to a running programmable controller (such as program modification or
operating status change), read relevant manuals carefully and ensure the safety before the
operation.
Especially, in the case of a control from an external device to a remote programmable controller,
immediate action cannot be taken for a problem on the programmable controller due to a
communication failure.
To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the sequence program, and determine corrective
actions to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a communication
failure.
! CAUTION
• Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or
power cables.
Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction due to noise.
• When a device such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve is controlled through an output module,
a large current (approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is
turned from off to on. Take measures such as replacing the module with one having a sufficient
current rating.
A-2 A-2
[Security Precautions]
! WARNING
• To maintain the security (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) of the programmable controller
and the system against unauthorized access, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, computer viruses,
and other cyberattacks from external devices via the network, take appropriate measures such
as firewalls, virtual private networks (VPNs), and antivirus solutions.
[Installation Precautions]
! CAUTION
• Use the programmable controller in an environment that meets the general specifications in the
user’s manual for the CPU module used.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of
the product.
• To mount the module, while pressing the module mounting lever located in the lower part of the
module, fully insert the module fixing projection(s) in the hole(s) in the base unit and press the
module until it snaps into place.
Incorrect interconnection may cause malfunction, failure, or drop of the module.
When using the programmable controller in an environment of frequent vibrations, fix the
module with a screw.
Tighten the screw within the specified torque range.
Undertightening can cause drop of the screw, short circuit or malfunction.
Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, or
malfunction.
• When using an extension cable, connect it to the extension cable connector of the base unit
securely.
Check the connection for looseness.
Poor contact may cause incorrect input or output.
• When using a memory card, fully insert it into the memory card slot.
Check that it is inserted completely.
Poor contact may cause malfunction.
• Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases before mounting or removing the
module.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the product.
• Do not touch the module during turning on electricity and immediately after power supply
interception. There is fear of a burn.
• Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module.
Doing so can cause malfunction or failure of the module.
A-3 A-3
[Wiring Precautions]
! WARNING
• Shut off the external power supply for the system in all phases before wiring.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or damage to the product.
• 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.

MELSEC-Q
1. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
This chapter describes the general specifications and precautions for use of the I/O
modules.
1
1.1 General Specifications
Refer to the following manual for the general specifications of the I/O modules.
• QCPU User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection)
1.2 Precautions for Use
1.2.1 Input module
(1) Simultaneous ON points

The number of simultaneous on points of input module depends on the input
voltage and ambient temperature.
Refer to the derating chart of the input module specifications.
(2) Input response time and pulse width

Input modules may take in noise or the like as an input depending on the pulse
width of a signal.
This pulse width has a value as listed below depending on the parameter-set
response time. Set input response time while fully consider the operating
environment.

MELSEC-Q
(3) Precautions for using the DC input module

(a) Measure against back EMF
When an inductive load is connected, connect a diode to the load in parallel.
1 Use a diode that meets the following conditions.
• Reverse breakdown voltage is 10 times as high as the circuit voltage or
more.
• Forward current is twice as high as the load current or more.
(4) Precautions for using the high-speed input module

Read the following precautions carefully when using the high-speed input modules
(QX40H, QX70H, QX80H, and QX90H).
(a) When switching to the high-speed input, the specifications of the high-speed
input modules and the input module QX40-S1 are identical. On the other
hand, when switching to the interrupt input, the specifications of the high-
speed input modules and the interrupt module QI60 are identical too.
Therefore, the specifications of the input module (QX40-S1) are construed as
the specifications of the high-speed input module switched to the high-speed
input. Similarly, the specifications of the interrupt module (QI60) indicated in
the manuals other than this manual are construed as the specifications of the
high-speed input module switched to the interrupt input.
(b) By using setting switches on the bottom of the module (refer to Chapter 10),
the high-speed input module switches module types (high-speed input or
interrupt input) for 16 input points all together and between valid and invalid
noise filters as shown below.

MELSEC-Q
(c) If the small number of value of input response time is set, the modules tend to
have impact of noise. Ensure that the modules do not have impact of noise.
For details of the measure against noise, refer to the QCPU User’s Manual
(Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection).
(d) The high-speed input modules connected with electric appliance such as
relays may load a chattering as a signal.
(e) To use a high-speed input module as a CE marked product, keep the cable
length 3m or less.
1.2.2 Output module
(1) Maximum switching frequency when the module drives inductive load
The output must be on for one second or longer and off for one second or longer.
(2) Load for connection

When connecting a counter or timer that has a DC-DC converter as a load, select
an output module whose maximum load current is larger than inrush current of the
load.
Selecting an output module by average current of the load may cause a failure of
the module because inrush current flows at a constant frequency at power-on or
during operation due to the connected load.
If an output module needs to be selected by average current of the load, take either
of the following actions to reduce an influence from inrush current.
• Connecting a resistor to the load in • Connecting an inductor to the load in

series series
(3) Replacement of fuses

Fuses installed to an output module cannot be replaced.
(4) Built-in fuses

Built-in fuses works to prevent the external cables from being burned when a short
circuit occurs in the internal output circuit. For this reason, the output module may
not be protected if the fuses blow any other reasons except for a short circuit.
1-3 1-3
MELSEC-Q
(5) Fuses installed to external terminals

It is recommended to install fuses to each external terminal. These fuses works to
prevent the external devices and the module from being burned when a short circuit
occurs in the load circuit of the QY22 or QY68A.
The following table lists the fuses whose operations have been checked and
ensured by Mitsubishi.

*1: Fuses that conform to Sheet 1 of IEC60127 are recommended.
*2: Fast blow fuses whose rated current is 3A are recommended.
(6) Precautions for using the transistor output module

(a) Action against reverse current
If a transistor output module is wired as shown below, reverse current flows in
an output element, causing a failure of the element.
When wiring a transistor output module, connect a diode as shown below.

When using the contact output module, consider the following.
• Relay life (contact switching life)
• Effects to relay life due to connected load
• Measures against back EMF
(a) Relay life

Applicable module: QY10, QY10-TS, QY18A
The relay life depends on the operating environment.
Select a module according to the operating environment.
The relay lives shown below are the actual service values, not the guaranteed

POINT
When using the module for the application in which the relay contact is
frequently switched, the relay life span should be considered. It is recommended
to use a triac output module.

MELSEC-Q
(b) Measures against inrush current

The actual relay life may be significantly shortened compared to the one shown
in (7)(a), depending on the type of a load connected and the characteristics of
inrush current.
Also, the inrush current may cause contact welding.
Take the following measures to prevent shortening of the relay life and the
contact welding.
• Select a load so that the inrush current will be within the rated current of the
module.
• Connect an external relay that can withstand the inrush current.
The following table shows the relation between the load and the inrush current.
Select a load so that the inrush current (i) and the rated current (io) will be within
the rated switching current specified for the output module used.
The inrush current may flow for a longer time depending on the load.

(c) Measures against back EMF

Configure a contact protection circuit for extending the contact life, preventing
noise when the contact is cut off, and suppressing the generation of carbide and
nitric acid due to arc discharge.
An Incorrect contact protection circuit may cause contact welding.
Also, when using the contact protection circuit, the recovery time may be long.
The following table shows the representative examples of the contact protection
circuit.

POINT
(1) Avoid providing contact protection circuits shown below.
These circuits are effective for preventing an arc at shut-off. However, the
contact welding may occur because the charge current flows to capacitor when
the contact turns on or off.
A DC inductive load is usually harder for switching than a resistor load, but if a
proper protection circuit is configured, the performance will be similar to the
resistor load.
(2) A protection circuit must be provided closely to a load or contact (module). If

their distance is far, the protection circuit may not be effective. Appropriate
distance is within 50cm.

MELSEC-Q
(8) Precautions for using the triac output module

Because of characteristics of a triac, a sudden change of voltage or current may
cause unstable operations of a triac used for the triac output module.
Whether the voltage or current change causes a problem differs depending on an
individual part (each triac), thus check the following when using the triac output
module.
(a) Checking of the load current
When the current consumption is equal to or smaller than the minimum load
current and the margin is low by using an inductive load such as a solenoid
valve, a triac may not turn on or off properly. In that case, an action such as
connecting a bleeder resistance is required.
For detail on actions, refer to Section 11.2.
(b) Precautions on a full-wave rectifier load
The load current of a full-wave rectifier load forms waves similar to rectangular
waves as shown below.
A triac may not operate properly if the current forms rectangular waves
associated with sudden current changes. To avoid it, use a load with which the
load current does not form rectangular waves.
(c) Measures for connecting an inductive load
To connect an inductive load, take measures to reduce noise to the side where
the load is connected as shown below.
Varistor method Select a cut voltage (Vc) for The recovery time delays
following condition.
• Vc > Power supply voltage
1.5(V) √2

on a nature of the load and a
variation of characteristics of it.
• Capacitor: 0.5 to 1 ( F)

• Resistor: 0.5 to 1(Ω) against
power supply voltage of 1V
Use a capacitor whose
withstand voltage is equal to or
more than the rated voltage.
Use a capacitor having no
polarity.
(d) Measures for connecting an inductive load (when installing a contact between
the load and the output terminal)
To install a contact (such as an interlock) between the load and the output
terminal, take measures to reduce noise as shown below.
Though measures (varistor method, capacitor + resistor method) are normally
taken to the load side, in some cases, it is more efficient to take the measures to
the module side considering the contact effect.
Varistor method • Measure taken to the load side Select a cut voltage (Vc) for The recovery time delays

1.2.3 I/O combined module
(1) I/O numbers of I/O combined modules

There are two types of I/O combined modules:
• Module using same I/O numbers for input and output
Since same number is used for input and output, the I/O numbers to be
used can be saved.
• Module using sequential I/O numbers for input and output

Since I/O assignments are the same for A series, it is useful when replacing
modules from those of A series.

• The overheat protection function is activated in units of 2 points.
(It is activated in units of 2 points of Y0/Y1, Y2/Y3, ..., and when
overheat protection is activated, 2 points of them are activated
simultaneously. If an overheat status persists, heat is conducted,
and which may activate another overheat protection function.)
• If an output turns on at the activation of the overheat protection
function, the actual output voltage oscillates between 0V and load
voltage.
Overheat protection
At the load voltage of 24V, the average voltage during oscillation is
function
approx. 7V.
No oscillation occurs when the output is off at the activation of the
overheat protection function.
To ensure that the output is turned off at the activation of the
overheat protection function, use an external load that turns off at
7V or more.
• The overheat protective function automatically returns to normal
operation after heat reduces.

1: If the noise filter selector switch (switch 1) on the bottom of the module (refer to Chapter 10) is turned on, the noise filter takes effect.
The off-status noise filter disables I/O response time setting.
After switching on or off the switch 1, reset the power supply of the CPU module.
2: Set an input response time in "I/O response time" combo box of PLC parameter in GX Developer. (Default: 0.2ms)
For the setting details, refer to Section 1.3.1.
3: The actual response time is 5 s delay when turning on, 10 s delay when turning off, because the hardware response time is added.
For the details of the CPU overhead time, refer to manuals for the CPU module used (Function Explanation, Program Fundamentals).
4: The module function can be changed according to the status of the function selector switch (switch 2) on the bottom of the module
(refer to Chapter 10).
ON: High-speed input
OFF: Interrupt
If the function selector switch (switch 2) setting is changed while the CPU module is in RUN, an error (error code: 2100) occurs.
5: Indicates the noise immunity when the noise filter takes effect (the noise filter selector switch (switch 1) is turned on).

MELSEC-Q
POINT
• If the stripped wire is inserted into the corresponding hole without installing the
bar solderless terminal, the connection check indicator does not come out. Do
not use the stripped wire without installing the bar solderless terminal.
• The wire strip length must follow the specification of the bar solderless
terminal. Also, use a crimp tool when installing the bar solderless terminal to
the wire.
• Before inserting the bar solderless terminal, check the corresponding circular
shaped hole and the bar solderless terminal. Before inserting, pay attention to
the angle of bar solderless terminal.
If a bar solderless terminal, which is bigger than the insertion slot, is inserted,
the terminal block may be damaged.
(3) Disconnecting a cable

(a) Insert the tool all the way inside the square shaped hole of the spring clamp
terminal block.
(b) Pull the bar solderless terminal out of the hole.

The Q6TE-18S and Q6TE-18SN (hereafter abbreviated as Q6TE-18S(N)) shall be

used attached to a Q Series terminal block type I/O module or an intelligent function
module.
Since the Q6TE-18S(N) uses a spring clamp it does not require screw tightening,
which greatly reduces the number of wiring procedures.
(1) Applicable modules

For the modules that can be used with the Q6TE-18S and Q6TE-18SN, refer to
the user’s manuals included with the terminal blocks.

When the Q6TE-18S(N) is not used, attach the cap to protect the terminal area.
(5) Precaution for connecting or disconnecting cables

(a) When connecting a wire to the circular shaped hole of the Q6TE-18S(N),
insert only one wire to a terminal. Two or more wires cannot be connected to
one terminal. Inserting multiple wires may result in a poor contact to the
spring clamp terminal part.
(b) Strip the wire according to the specification. If the wire strip length is too long,
the exposed conductive part may cause electric shock or short circuit. If the
wire strip length is too short, it may result in a poor contact to the spring clamp
terminal part.
(c) When using a spring clamp terminal block tool, follow the instruction below.
Failure to do so may cause damage of the spring clamp terminal part or the
terminal block resin part.
• Use a dedicated tool for a spring clamp terminal block.
• Do not insert the bar solderless terminal or the wire before inserting the tool
into the square shaped hole.
• Insert the tool vertically into the hole.

<Calculation example of Example 4>

Connecting a switch with LED display, in which a maximum 2.33mA leakage current
flows when 24VDC is supplied to the QX40.
(1) In this case, the circuit does not satisfy the condition that the OFF current of the
QX40 is 1.7mA or less.
Connect a resistance as follows.
(2) In order to satisfy the condition that the OFF current of the QX40 is 1.7mA or less,
the resistance R, in which a 0.63mA or more current flows, shall be connected.
Calculating with the formula,
IR: IZ=Z (Input impedance): R
IZ 1.7
R Z (Input impedance) = 5.6=15.11[k ]
IR 0.63
the resistance R will be R<15.11kΩ.

Consequently, if the resistance R is set to 12kΩ, the electric power W of the
resistance R will be calculated in the following formula,
W= (Input voltage)2/R=28.82/12000=0.069[W].
(3) Since the resistance requires the electric power which is 3 to 5 times of the power
actually consumed, the resistance to be connected to the corresponding terminal
shall be 12.0kΩ and 1/4 to 1[W].
(4) The OFF voltage of the QX40 when the resistance R calculated above is connected

intact with the MELSEC-Q series I/O module.
The 37-pin D-sub connector used with the MELSEC-AnS series I/O module is the
same in wiring as, but opposite in cable pulling direction to, the MELSEC-Q series
I/O module. (The conventional cable for A6TB cannot be used.)
