• The existing A (Large type) Series extension base unit and mounted modules can be utilized without wiring
modification.
The existing A (Large Type) Series extension base unit can be used without modifying the wiring by repl
acing
with the extension base QA6�B, and remounting the mounted modules.
• Prog
ram modifications can be minimized by using the same I/O address for the existing units and setting the
current I/O addresses with the parameter I/O assignments.
•
The follo
wing A (Large Type) Series module cannot be used with the Q Series CPU. These must be changed
to a Q Series CPU compatible module.

• The A (Large Type) Series A6�B/A5�B extension base unit with the QA6ADP cannot be used together with
the QA1S6�B extension base unit.
• When an AC input module is mounted on the "A5�B" extension base unit (without power supply) using the
QA6ADP, either the "A6�B with QA6ADP" or "QA6�B" extension base unit (with power supply) is required in
the system.
• Set th
e stage number for QA6ADP according to the setting of the extension base unit.
• The Q
A6ADP QA conversion adapter is only compatible with High Performance Model QCPU or Universal
Model QCPU (first five digits of serial No. "13102" or higher).
Basic Model QCPUs, Process CPUs, Redundant CPUs, Safety CPUs, and Remote I/O Stations are not
compatible.
• For the precautions and restrictions when using QA conversion adapter, refer to "QA6ADP QA Conversion
Adapter Module User's Manual".

The QA conversion adapter module enables the existing extension base, including the mounted I/O
modules, to connect to a Q Series main base unit. This can shorten the installation and wiring
modification times.
Solution and Benefit
The following is an example of reusing existing A (Large Type) Series modules with a Q Series CPU using the
QA conversion adapter module.
●
Instructions
(1) Replace the A (Large Type) Series CPU with the Q Series CPU (Q03UDCPU) and mount it on the Q Series
main bas
e unit (Q3�B).
(2) To reutilize I/O modules mounted on the existing A
(Large Type) Series main base unit, mount them on the
QA6�B extension base unit.
(3) Mount the “QA6ADP” adapter on the connector of each existing extension base unit to allow the use
of existing modules.
(4) Connect the base units with the Q Series extension cable (QC�B).
