Control PLC
High Performance model QCPU/motion CPU that controls any of the I/O and
intelligent function modules mounted on the main or extension base unit. For
example, when the module mounted on slot 3 is controlled by the PLC No. 2, the PLC
No. 2 is the control PLC of the module on slot 3.
Non-controlled module
(Non-group module)
I/O or intelligent function module other than the controlled module. For example, when
the module mounted on slot 3 is controlled by the PLC No. 2, the module on slot 3 is
the non-controlled module of the PLC Nos. 1, 3 and 4.
Controlled module
I/O or intelligent function module controlled by the control PLC. For example, when
the module mounted on slot 3 is controlled by the PLC No. 2, the module on slot 3 is
the controlled module of the PLC No. 2.
CPU numbers
Numbers assigned to differentiate between the High Performance model QCPU and
motion CPU mounted in a multi PLC system. The CPU on the CPU slot is the PLC
No. 1, the one on slot 0 is the PLC No. 2, the one on slot 1 is the PLC No. 3, and the
one on slot 2 is the PLC No. 4.
Single PLC system
System mounted with the High Performance model QCPU on the CPU slot to exercise
control.
PC CPU module
MELSEC-Q Series corresponding PC CPU module
Non-control PLCs
High Performance model QCPUs and/or Motion CPUs other than the control PLC. For
example, when the module mounted on slot 3 is controlled by the PLC No. 2, the CPU
Nos. 1, 3 and 4 are the non-control PLCs of the module on slot 3.
Multiple PLC system
System mounted with up to four High Performance model QCPU, Motion CPU and PC
CPU module on the main base unit to exercise control.
