Utilizing external wiring

2.1 Replace A/QnA (Large Type) Series with Q Series

2.1.1 Install terminal block converter module and terminal module externally

(1) Replace 32-point terminal block type module using connector/terminal block converter module
Solution and Benefit
• The connector/terminal block converter module can support up to 2mm
of existing thick wires without modification.
• Using a connector/terminal block converter module, an existing 32-point terminal block type
module can be replaced with a 32-point connector type module without increasing the number of
modules.
The following is an example of replacing an A/QnA (Large Type) Series system that contains 32-point terminal
block type input modules (AX41).
● Instructions
Replace AX41 with QX41, and connect the connector/terminal block converter module.
If QX40 is used instead of QX41, two modules are required to replace each AX41. Also, if existing wires are
thicker than the applicable wire size (0.75 mm
