AnyWireASLINK master module
Wiring
The wiring to connect isolation (4-line) type slave modules differs between the MELSEC-Q series and the MELSEC iQ-R
series.
For the MELSEC iQ-R series, if the power supply terminal of the slave module is connected to the OUT (24V, 0V) terminals,
the individual wiring to the 24VDC external power supply is unnecessary.
Error codes
The error code system for the MELSEC iQ-R series has been renewed. If an error code is set as an operating condition or
interlock condition in the MELSEC-Q program, the program needs to be corrected for the MELSEC iQ-R series.
MELSECNET/H network module
Dedicated instruction
There is no difference between the MELSEC-Q series and the MELSEC iQ-R series.
Simple dual-structured system
The MELSECNET/H simple dual-structured system cannot be used for the MELSEC iQ-R series. Use a MELSEC iQ-R series
network module in the single-network system.
Remote I/O network
The remote I/O network cannot be used for the MELSEC iQ-R series. Consider replacing the existing remote I/O network with
CC-Link IE Field Network.
RQ extension base unit
When the MELSEC iQ-R series MELSECNET/H network module is used in the system, the MELSEC-Q series MELSECNET/
H network module cannot be mounted on the RQ extension base unit.
External power supply function
A network module with external power supply function is not available for the MELSEC iQ-R series.
Connect the RQ extension base unit (RQ6B) to the system and use a Q series module.
GI optical cable
A network module compatible with a GI optical cable is not available for the MELSEC iQ-R series.
Connect the RQ extension base unit (RQ6B) to the system and use a Q series module.
DeviceNet master-slave module
Engineering tool
The engineering tool differs between the QJ71DN91 and the RJ71DN91.
Use "GX Works2" and "GX Configurator2-DN" for the QJ71DN91, "GX Works3" and "CW-Configurator" for the RJ71DN91.
Buffer memory
The layout of buffer memory areas partly differs between the QJ71DN91 and the RJ71DN71.
If buffer memory areas are used in the MELSEC-Q series program, the program needs to be corrected for the MELSEC iQ-R
series.
