1.1 Features
(4) Increase in debugging efficiency through high-speed communication with a
programming tool
High-speed communications at 115.2Kbps maximum are available by using RS-232 which reducing the time
required for writing and reading of programs and monitoring. Also, the communication time efficiency of
debugging has been increased.
In addition, High Performance model QCPUs (except for the Q02CPU), Process CPUs, Redundant CPUs and
Universal model QCPUs support USB, so that high-speed communications of 12Mbps are available.
(5) Use of AnS/A series I/O modules and special function modules
The AnS/A series compatible extension base units (QA1S5B, QA1S6B, QA1S6ADP+A1S5B/A1S6B,
QA6B, and QA6ADP+A5B/A6B) can be connected to the main base unit where the High Performance
model QCPU or Universal model QCPU
*1
is mounted. This enables the use of AnS/A series I/O modules and
special function modules.
*1 The Universal model QCPU whose serial number (first five digits) is "13102" or later is applicable.
(6) Miniaturized modules (space-saving size)
The installation space for the Q series has been reduced by approx. 60% compared with the AnS series.
