1.1 Comparison of A/QnA (Large Type) Series and Q Series base unit mounting area
When upgrading existing A/QnA systems, there are cases where the number of modules increases due to
specification differences. For instance, to replace an A/QnA (Large Type) Series 32-point terminal block type I/O
module, two Q Series 16-point terminal block type I/O modules are used. Despite increase in the number of I/O
slots and extension base stages, the Q Series footprint is smaller than that of the A/QnA (Large Type) Series.
The following example shows a comparison of the mounting areas when the A/QnA (Large Type) Series system
is upgraded to the Q Series.
Solution and Benefit
When replacing each 32-point terminal block type module with two 16-point terminal block type
modules, an additional extension base unit is required due to an increase in the number of modules.
However, the Q Series system fits inside the existing control panel because it is compact in size.

Tip
The A/QnA (Large Type) Series main base unit and extension base unit differ in size:
• A35B main base unit: 382 mm (W) x 250 mm (H)
• A65B extension base unit: 352 mm (W) x 250 mm (H)
Whereas the Q Series main base unit and extension base unit are the same size:
• Q38B main base unit/Q68B extension base unit: 328 mm (W) x 98 mm (H)
Even with the extra I/O slots and base units, the base unit installation area for Q Series is smaller than that for
A/QnA (Large Type) Series.
