This section describes how to change the resolution of an analog I/O module after the module is 
replaced from A series to Q series.
(1) Resolution of A series and Q series analog I/O modules
Each A series analog I/O module have different resolutions. Please check the resolution of the module 
in this handbook or user’s manual.
If the resolution differs between A series and Q series modules, it needs to be matched by a user (by 
creating a sequence program or changing user range settings). 
: Measure required by user,  : Measure not required by user
*1 Change the resolution in a sequence program. (Refer to Appendix 4 (2).)
*2 Set a user range in high resolution mode.
(2) Example of sequence program to change a resolution
(Condition)
(a) Resolution of an A series analog I/O module: 1/8000
(b) Device that stores a present value read from the analog I/O module: D0
(c) Device that is used for resolution change operation: D100, D101
* Two-/four-word data is used in the four arithmetic operations instruction. Use unused device areas so that existing device 
data are not affected by this operation.

Read the present value of 
Channel 1 from the buffer memory.
Divide the 1/16000 data by two.
Transfer the divided data to 
the device.
