2.1.3 Replacement utilizing A (Large Type) upgrade tool
(manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric Engineering Co., Ltd.)
(1) Utilize A (Large Type) unit replacement upgrade tool
Solution and Benefit
• When replacing the existing A (Large Type) Series modules, there may be cases in which two
replacement modules are needed depending on the specification of the Q Series modules.
In such cases, the terminal blocks of the A (Large Type) Series modules do not need to be replaced
and can be used through the upgrade tool (base adapter and conversion adapter (2-slot type))
manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric Engineering Co., Ltd. Thus, wiring time is greatly reduced.
• The base adapter (upgrade tool) manufactured by Mitsubishi Electric Engineering Co., Ltd. is
compatible with the 12-slot main/extension base unit, enabling the expansion of slot numbers if
needed.
