CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW 
1.1 Overview 
This User's Manual describes the specifications, handling, wiring and programming 
methods of the Channel Isolated Pulse Input Module (QD60P8-G) used with the 
MELSEC-Q series programmable controller CPU. 
 
The QD60P8-G counts the input pulse number (speed, rotation speed, instant flux or 
similar) and measures the quantity the length, accumulating flux and so forth. The input 
pulse value is updated every 10ms. The QD60P8-G updates the accumulating count 
value and the pulse number after movement averaging processing or similar (sampling 
pulse number) at intervals of the count cycle setting value.

1)  Pulse input voltage 
A single module accepts the pulse inputs of 5VDC/12 to 24VDC. 
 
2)  Pulse edge selection 
It is allowed to select the rise or fall of the input pulses to be counted. 
 
3) Pre-scale function 
The input pulse number is multiplied by any value to convert the pulse 
number. 
 
4)  Movement averaging function 
The values of the sampling pulse number are averaged by the specified 
number of times to calculate the average value.
