Function Explanation Of The Q173Dcpu/Q172Dcpu Motion Cpu Modules - Mitsubishi Electric Q172DCPU User Manual

2 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

2.1.3 Function explanation of the Q173DCPU/Q172DCPU Motion CPU modules

(1) Up to 32 axes servo amplifiers per 2 systems (up to 16 axes per 1 system) can be
used in Q173DCPU. Up to 8 axes servo amplifiers per 1 system can be used in
Q172DCPU.
(2) It is possible to set the program which synchronized with the motion operation
cycle and executed at fixed cycle (0.88[ms], 1.77[ms], 3.55[ms], 7.11[ms],
14.2[ms]).
(3) It is possible to execute a download of servo parameters to servo amplifier, servo
ON/OFF to servo amplifier and position commands, etc. by connecting between
the Q173DCPU/Q172DCPU and servo amplifier with SSCNET cable.
(4) It is possible to select the servo control functions/programming languages by
installing the corresponding operating system software in the Q173DCPU/
Q172DCPU.
(5) Motion modules (Q172DLX/Q172DEX/Q173DPX) are controlled with the
Q173DCPU/Q172DCPU, and the signals such as stroke limit signals connected to
Motion modules and synchronous encoder are used as motion control.
(6) PLC I/O modules can be controlled with the Q173DCPU/Q172DCPU.
(Refer to Section 2.2 (2) for PLC I/O modules that can be controlled with Motion
CPU.)
(7) Data exchange between CPU modules is possible by Multiple CPU high speed
transmission memory or automatic refresh in the Multiple CPU system.
