Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle the product correctly. The precautions given in this manual are concerned with this product only. Refer to the MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration Manual for a description of the PLC system safety precautions.
Page 4 [Design Precautions] WARNING ● Configure safety circuits external to the programmable controller to ensure that the entire system operates safely even when a fault occurs in the external power supply or the programmable controller. Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction. (1) Emergency stop circuits, protection circuits, and protective interlock circuits for conflicting operations (such as forward/reverse rotations or upper/lower limit positioning) must be configured external to the programmable controller.
Page 5 [Design Precautions] WARNING ● When connecting an external device with a CPU module or intelligent function module to modify data of a running programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification, parameter change, forced output, or operating status change) of a running programmable controller, read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding.
Page 6 [Design Precautions] CAUTION ● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power cables. Keep a distance of 100 mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction due to noise.
Page 7 [Wiring Precautions] WARNING ● Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before installation and wiring. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction. ● After installation and wiring, attach a blank cover module (RG60) to each empty slot and an included extension connector protective cover to the unused extension cable connector before powering on the system for operation.
Page 8 [Wiring Precautions] CAUTION ● When disconnecting the cable from the module, do not pull the cable by the cable part. For the cable with connector, hold the connector part of the cable. For the cable connected to the terminal block, loosen the terminal screw.
Page 9 [Startup and Maintenance Precautions] CAUTION ● When connecting an external device with a CPU module or intelligent function module to modify data of a running programmable controller, configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system will always operate safely. For other forms of control (such as program modification, parameter change, forced output, or operating status change) of a running programmable controller, read the relevant manuals carefully and ensure that the operation is safe before proceeding.
Page 10 [Startup and Maintenance Precautions] CAUTION ● Before testing the operation, set a low speed value for the speed limit parameter so that the operation can be stopped immediately upon occurrence of a hazardous condition. ● Confirm and adjust the program and each parameter before operation. Unpredictable movements may occur depending on the machine.
Page 11 [Transportation Precautions] CAUTION ● When transporting lithium batteries, follow the transportation regulations. For details on the regulated models, refer to the MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration Manual. ● The halogens (such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine), which are contained in a fumigant used for disinfection and pest control of wood packaging materials, may cause failure of the product.

Page 106: Chapter 4 Start And Stop
START AND STOP Start This section describes how to start an axis of the motion system. In the motion system, motion control can be executed by executing motion control function blocks with programs of the control CPU module, such as the PLC CPU and the C language CPU, or the motion system built-in program language such as ST language.
Page 107: Starting Conditions
Starting conditions To start the control, the following conditions must be satisfied. The necessary conditions must be incorporated in the program so that the axis is not started when the conditions are not satisfied. Starting conditions of the axis are mainly controlled by the state transition and the signal state of the axis and axes group. Starting conditions for motion function blocks of the axis ■State transition Name...
Page 108: Retrigger/Continuous Update
Retrigger/Continuous Update The following methods can be used to change the control of the on-going FB. • Retrigger (Inputting Execute again) • Continuous update (ContinuousUpdate) With a retrigger/continuous update of the FB, input variables can be imported again to the FB instance in execution without interrupting operation.
Page 109: Multiple Start (Buffer Mode)
Multiple Start (Buffer Mode) MCFBs can be executed continuously without stopping by executing the motion FB of another instance to the axis and the axes group that are executing the motion control FB. • To execute the MCFB with the axis and the axes group stop status ("4: Standstill" or "4: GroupStandby") is called "start".
Page 110 • Up to two motion FBs can be buffered after multiple start in one axis and an axes group. If multiple start is executed when two FBs have already been multiple started, the error "Warning Starting over Number of Buffering FBs" (warning code: 0D22H) occurs and waits the analysis of the multiple start FB in order until on-going FB is completed.
Page 111: Relevant Variables
Command omission at multiple start When omitting the specified speed, the acceleration specification, and the deceleration specification in an FB that executes multiple start, specified speed of "the previous FB of buffering FB" at multiple start is taken over. If the specified speed input does not exist in "the previous FB of buffering FB", buffering is executed with speed 0.0.

Page 212: Positioning Speed In Multiple Axes Positioning Control
Positioning speed in multiple axes positioning control Positioning speed at multiple axes positioning control can be set in the Velocity input of the motion control FB. In the multiple axes positioning control, a control target is controlled at the specified positioning speed. Linear interpolation control To specify the positioning speed for the linear interpolation control, the following three methods can be used.
Page 213 ■Long axis speed specification 1: LongAxisSpeed The control is carried out based on the positioning speed (the long axis speed: V) of the axis whose movement amount is the largest in the addresses set in each axis. The positioning speed of the other axes is calculated by the motion system from the movement amount (D1 to D4) of each axis.
Page 214 • For the long axis speed specification, set speed limit value is valid for the Velocity input which is as the long axis speed. For details, refer to the following. Page 318 Speed Limit • Note that the vector speed when specifying the long axis speed may be larger than the speed limit value. (Ex.) When setting a value like the following in the 2-axis linear interpolation, the vector speed exceeds the speed limit value.
Page 215 ■Reference axis speed specification 2: ReferenceAxisSpeed The motion system calculates the positioning speed (V1 to V3) of other axes based on the positioning speed of the set reference axis (the reference axis speed: V), and carries out the control. In MCFB, the top array of the LinearAxes input indicates the reference axis. Also, set the Position input or the Distance input as the movement amount of each axis and set the Velocity input as the single axis speed.
Page 216 • For the reference axis speed specification, set speed limit value is valid to the Velocity input which is as the reference axis speed. For details, refer to the following. Page 318 Speed Limit • Note that the positioning speed of the axis whose movement amount is larger than that of the reference axis is larger than the set reference axis speed.

Page 305 When the jerk applying ratio is big or the jerk is small, the acceleration time (deceleration time) becomes longer than that of the trapezoidal acceleration/deceleration. When the jerk applying ratio is 100%, the acceleration time (deceleration time) becomes doubled compared with the trapezoidal acceleration/deceleration. When setting the jerk, pay attention to the acceleration time (deceleration time).

Page 308: Acceleration/Deceleration Waveform Adjustment When Specifying Jerk
Acceleration/deceleration waveform adjustment when specifying jerk When the jerk acceleration/deceleration (J  0.0) is specified, the acceleration waveform and the deceleration waveform are adjusted whether the values of the target velocity (V), the target acceleration (A), the target deceleration (Dec), and the jerk (J) satisfy the following condition or not.
Page 309 When the condition is not satisfied When accelerating to the target acceleration, the velocity exceeds the target velocity during acceleration. Therefore, the acceleration is adjusted to reach the target velocity at the end of acceleration. (The velocity does not reach the specified target acceleration (deceleration).) When the acceleration is adjusted, there is no maximum acceleration section, and the acceleration waveform becomes a triangle.

Page 312: Limit Of Acceleration Time/Deceleration Time
Limit of acceleration time/deceleration time The acceleration time and the deceleration time are limited by 8400 [s]. When "0: mcAccDec" is selected in the "acceleration/deceleration method setting" (Options bit 0 to 2) of the FB, the acceleration time and the deceleration time calculated from the acceleration and the deceleration are limited. For a method of calculating the acceleration time and the deceleration time, refer to the following.
Page 313: Automatic Deceleration
Automatic deceleration Decelerating to a speed of "0.0" to stop at the specified target position is called automatic deceleration. During automatic deceleration, AxisName.Md.AutoDeceleration is TRUE. When automatic deceleration is performed, the deceleration may go ahead or behind the target deceleration. Therefore, AxisName.Md.SetAcceleration may exceed AxisName.Md.TargetDeceleration.
Page 314: Changing Control Of Jerk Acceleration/Deceleration
Changing control of jerk acceleration/deceleration Acceleration/deceleration operation at changing control immediately changes the acceleration and the deceleration for the trapezoidal acceleration/deceleration (J = 0.0). For the jerk acceleration/deceleration (J  0.0), when a control change is carried out during acceleration or deceleration, acceleration/deceleration will be performed taking over the previous acceleration (deceleration).

Page 317 ■Acceleration change The acceleration change pattern can be classified based on the operation status when acceleration change is performed. [When executing acceleration change in the acceleration section 1.] Acceleration is increased or decreased to the target acceleration after change by using jerk, and taking over the speed and the acceleration immediately before the acceleration change.
Page 318 [When executing acceleration change in the acceleration section 2 or during fixed-speed, deceleration, and automatic deceleration] When acceleration change is executed in the acceleration section 2, the acceleration change is accepted, however acceleration operation during execution does not change. When re-acceleration is performed by velocity change etc, the axis accelerates with the acceleration after change.

Speed Limit The "speed limit function" limits the set velocity to a value within the speed limit value setting range when the set velocity during control exceeds the speed limit value. By limiting the set velocity within the preset speed limit value setting range, even if an incorrect command or unexpected operation occurs, damage to the machine can be prevented.

Page 595: Appendix 2 Motion Module Programs
Appendix 2 Motion Module Programs The Motion module performs control using the Motion system’s built-in Structured Text (ST) language. Data transfers between the CPU module and the Motion module Data is transferred between the CPU module and the Motion module using the buffer memory of the Motion module. The devices used for data transfers are shown below.
Page 596 For a program using labels While label programming can be performed by assigning global labels to the Motion module buffer memory, labels cannot be cross-referenced between the CPU module and the Motion module. A double-precision real number (LREAL-type) cannot be transferred to the buffer memory by ST instruction when sending data from the CPU module to the Motion module.
Page 597: Relevant Variables/Function Blocks (Fb)
Relevant variables/function blocks (FB) Variable/Structure name Name Details System.Md Program_Ei EI flag TRUE when EI instruction is executed • TRUE: during EI • FALSE: during DI System.PrConst MeasuresPrograms Measurement flag for program Sets to measure the program execution time, the number of program information executions, and the execution status.
Page 598 ■Fixed scan execution type The program is executed at each specified time. The time can be set from that of the first operation cycle up to 60000[ms] (in integer multiples of the first operation cycle). Processing is prioritized by execution interval length and starts by processing programs with the shortest intervals. To execute a fixed scan execution type program, it is necessary to change its status to execution enabled through EI instruction.
Page 599 A warning or error does not occur even if the processing time is exceeded. Check the processing time on the execution time monitor. In some cases, the operation load of fixed scan operation type programs can cause an operation cycle over to occur.
Page 600 ■Processing at completion of initial execution type programs The timing chart for each program that operates after initial execution type program processing has fully completed is shown below. The 3 kinds of fixed cycle processing (fixed scan execution type program 1, fixed scan execution type program 2, and operation cycle processing) are performed with priority given to those with the shortest execution cycles.
Page 601 Changing the execution type To change the program execution type while PLC READY [Y0] is ON, use the program control command shown below. • Program scan execution registration (PSCAN) • Program standby (PSTOP) PSCAN instruction Initial execution type Normal execution type PSTOP instruction PSTOP instruction PSCAN instruction...
Page 602: Label Initialization Function
■Precautions • When changing the execution type of an initial execution type program or a fixed scan execution type program, it is not possible to revert back to the original execution type. • When multiple instructions are executed in a single program, the last instruction determines the operation. •...
