4. REPLACEMENT FROM A-MOTION TO QN-MOTION
1. OVERVIEW
This article explains the changes when a system using A173UHCPU/A172SHCPUN/A171SHCPUN
(A-Motion) is replaced with a system using Q173CPUN/Q172CPUN (QN-Motion). For A173UHCPU-S1,
A173UHCPU should be read as A173UHCPU-S1.
2. EQUIPMENT CONFIGURATION, AVAILABLE SOFTWARE
Please prepare modules, operating system software, and engineering environment according to the table
in this article.
2.1 Equipment Correspondence
When Q173CPUN/Q172CPUN is used, use the products that support Q series.

(Note-1): For QN-Motion, the long-term backup is available by using an external battery (A6BAT) in addition to the short-term backup with a
built-in rechargeable battery.
When the external battery (A6BAT) is used, use the battery with Q173DV (when Q173CPUN is used) or Q170BAT (when
Q172CPUN is used).
(Note-2): The models of SSCNET cables and others to be used differ depending on whether the external battery is used or not.
