Solution and Benefit
• The Q Series large type I/O modules allow the use of existing A/QnA (Large Type) Series 32-point
I/O wiring, eliminating the need for rewiring.
• Performance specifications of the Q Series large type I/O modules are equivalent to those of the
A/QnA (Large Type) Series.
• The hole size and pitch of the Q Series large type base units are the same as those of the A/QnA
(Large Type) Series, eliminating the need of making new mounting holes.
• The Q Series large type I/O modules and standard Q Series modules can be mounted together on
the Q Series large type base unit. For the standard Q Series modules, existing A/QnA (Large
Type) Series connectors or terminal blocks can be utilized without modification by using a
conversion adapter (upgrade tool) manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric Engineering Co., Ltd.
Wired terminal blocks of the existing A (Large Type) Series I/O modules can be mounted directly without
modifying the external wiring.
