Description

Designed for complex multi-axis synchronization and high-speed motion control, the Q172HCPU operates within the Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC-Q automation platform to deliver precise positioning control. This motion CPU module interfaces seamlessly with PLC CPUs to execute dedicated motion programs, managing interpolation, speed-torque control, and electronic gear functions in demanding industrial environments.

The module is engineered for multi-CPU system configurations, requiring installation on the right-hand side of the primary PLC CPU module. The design features a clear base cover for status visibility and supports both DIN rail installation and secure panel mounting using unit fixing screws for applications prone to mechanical vibration.

Features

  • Supports multi-CPU architecture for distributed processing and high-speed synchronization.
  • Clear base cover design for easy visual inspection of internal components.
  • Flexible mounting options, including standard DIN rail and direct panel mounting.
  • Rigid physical housing designed to withstand standard industrial environments.

Applications

  • High-speed packaging and bottling machinery.
  • Automated material handling and warehousing systems.
  • Multi-axis printing presses and paper converting lines.
  • Precision assembly and semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

Installation Guidelines

  • Module Positioning: Install the Q172HCPU motion CPU module strictly on the right-hand side of the main PLC CPU on the Q-series base unit.
  • Slot Assignment: Ensure there are no empty slots left between the active CPU modules in a multi-CPU configuration.
  • Mechanical Securing: For installations subjected to high vibration or mechanical shock, secure the unit directly to the control panel using the designated unit fixing screws instead of relying solely on the DIN rail.
  • Thermal Management: Maintain recommended clearance distances around the module to facilitate proper air circulation and prevent overheating inside the enclosure.

FAQ

Where should the Q172HCPU module be installed on the base unit?

In a multi-CPU configuration, the Q172HCPU motion CPU must be installed on the right-hand side of the primary PLC CPU module (assigned as CPU No. 2 or later).

Can empty slots be left between CPU modules?

No, empty slots are not permitted between active CPU modules in the system configuration.

What mounting options are supported for the Q172HCPU?

The module supports standard DIN rail mounting. For environments with high vibration or impact, panel mounting using unit fixing screws is highly recommended.
