1 OVERVIEW 
This User's Manual describes the specifications, handling and programming methods 
for the type Q64AD-GH channel isolated high resolution analog-digital converter 
module (hereinafter referred to as the Q64AD-GH) and type Q62AD-DGH channel 
isolated high resolution analog-digital converter module (with signal conditioning 
function) (hereinafter referred to as the Q62AD-DGH), which are used with the 
MELSEC-Q series CPU modules. 
The Q62AD-DGH is exclusively used for current input. 
In this manual, the Q64AD-GH and Q62AD-DGH are collectively referred to as the A/D 
converter modules. 
 
1.1 Features 
(1)   Channel isolated 
The channels are isolated. 
The Q62AD-DGH is also isolated between the external supply power and 
channels. 
 
(2)   High resolution 
The resolution is as high as 32-bit signed binary (data part is 16 bits long). (When 
the range -10 to 10V is selected) 
 
(3)   Power supply to 2-wire transmitter (Q62AD-DGH only) 
Supplying power to the 2-wire transmitter, the Q62AD-DGH does not require the 
power supply for the 2-wire transmitter. 
Supply power can be switched ON/OFF channel-by-channel by the A/D 
conversion enable/disable setting. 
 
(4)   Module protection provided by short-circuit protection circuit 
(Q62AD-DGH only) 
If an excessive current flows into the module due to a short circuit of the wiring, 
the short-circuit protection circuit limits the current to within 25 to 35mA, 
protecting the module. 
 
(5)   Analog input check by check terminals (Q62AD-DGH only) 
Measurement of a voltage at the check terminals allows the mA of the 2-wire 
transmitter output to be checked without the wiring being disconnected. 
 
(6)   High accuracy 
The reference accuracy 
1
 is as high as ±0.05% and the temperature coefficient
2
 
is as high as ±71.4ppm/°C. 
1 Accuracy of offset/gain setting at ambient temperature 
2 Accuracy per temperature change of 1°C 
Example) Accuracy when the temperature varies from 25°C to 30°C 
0.05% (reference accuracy) + 0.00714%/°C (temperature 
coefficient) 
 5°C (temperature variation difference) = 0.0857%
