2   SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 
 
(12)   Selection of the modules used in the extension base unit 
The modules used in the extension base unit are selected according to the total 
of current consumption of the modules, and peripheral devices (Manual pulse 
generator, Incremental synchronous encoder, etc.) supplied by the Motion 
controller and Motion controller internal power supply.  
5VDC internal current consumption of shared equipments with PLC might be 
changed. Be sure to refer to the MELSEC-Q series PLC Manuals.

• 5VDC current consumption of each module 
Q170MSCPU  : 2.50 [A]  QY40P  : 0.065 [A] 
Incremental synchronous encoder: 0.20 [A]  QJ71LP21-25  : 0.55 [A] 
QX40  : 0.05 [A]  Q62DAN  : 0.33 [A] 
Q173DPX  : 0.38 [A]  Q55B  : 0.10 [A]

• Power consumption of overall modules 
I
5V = 2.50 + 0.20 + 0.05 + 0.38 + 0.06 
 
2 + 0.065 + 0.55 + 0.33 + 0.10 
     = 4.295 [A] 
System configuration is possible because of the total of current 
consumption 4.295 [A] is the allowable value 4.5 [A] or less. 
 
 
POINT 
 
Configure the system in such a way that the total current consumption at 5VDC of 
all the modules is the allowable value 4.5 [A] or less.
