The QD70D utility package (GX Configurator-PT) is software designed to make initial
setting, auto refresh setting, monitor and others of the QD70D using dedicated
screens, without being conscious of the I/O signals and buffer memory.
Use the utility package with GX Developer (SW4D5C-GPPW-E or later).
The following table lists the functions of the utility package.
Make initial setting axis-by-axis for the QD70D to operate.
Set the values of the items that need initial setting.
[Setting items]
• Parameters
• OPR data
• Positioning data
(The initially set data are registered to PLC parameter, and when the programmable
controller CPU is placed in the RUN status, they are written to the QD70D
automatically.)
Set the QD70D buffer memory values to be automatically refreshed.
[Auto refresh target buffer memory values]
[Common to all axes]
• Error status
• Warning status
[Axis by axis]
• Current feed value
• Current speed
• Axis operation status
• Axis error code
• Axis warning code
• Executing positioning data No.
(The values stored in the automatically refreshed QD70D buffer memory are read
automatically when the END instruction of the programmable controller CPU is
executed.)
Monitor/test the buffer memory and I/O signals of the QD70D.
