Product Description

Description

The Q172DSCPU serves as a high-performance motion CPU module designed specifically for the Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC-Q Series PLC platform. Operating as a dedicated motion controller, this unit manages up to 16 axes of synchronized motion, executing complex positioning, interpolation, and speed-torque control profiles. By integrating directly onto the MELSEC-Q series backplane, the Q172DSCPU coordinates seamlessly with sequence CPUs in a multi-CPU configuration, optimizing processing throughput for automated systems.

Equipped with a dedicated motion operating system, this module supports advanced programming capabilities including virtual mechanical systems, electronic cams, and electronic gears. The module features integrated hardware interfaces for high-speed synchronization, including a built-in emergency stop input and general-purpose input signals, ensuring deterministic response times and robust safety control directly at the hardware layer.

Features

  • Coordinates up to 16 axes of motion control per CPU module.
  • Provides a servo program capacity of 16k steps for complex motion profiling.
  • Supports up to 3200 positioning points with direct or indirect specification capabilities.
  • Equipped with photocoupler-isolated general-purpose inputs (4 points) and emergency stop input (1 point) for localized safety execution.
  • Integrates within the MELSEC-Q series multi-CPU architecture, supporting up to 256 I/O points and 256 analog points per CPU.
  • Connects to up to 7 extension base stages for scalable system layouts.

Applications

  • Multi-axis packaging and wrapping machinery
  • High-precision semiconductor and flat-panel display manufacturing
  • Automated assembly systems and pick-and-place robotics
  • Automotive metal stamping and transfer lines
