1. OVERVIEW MELSOFT 1. OVERVIEW This manual describes the functions and operating procedures of GX Configurator-QP. GX Configurator-QP is a software package that performs various functions such as data settings, monitoring, and tests for the MELSEC-Q/L series positioning modules. GX Configurator-QP offers the following functions.
1. OVERVIEW MELSOFT GX Configurator-QP can access the LD75/LD77 via any of the following modules. 1 Module type LCPU L corresponding serial communication module Model L02CPU, L26CPU-BT LJ71C24, LJ71C24-R2 GX Configurator-QP can simultaneously edit positioning module projects of MELSEC-Q series and MELSEC-L series. Also, online operation in each project is available by specifying a connection target for each project.
1. OVERVIEW MELSOFT 1.1 Features (1) Concurrent editing of multiple projects Capable of opening multiple projects simultaneously, this software allows you to easily edit the positioning data and block start data to be utilized by copying and pasting. Copy & paste (2) Efficient debugging of multi-modules Because the QD75/LD75/LD77 to be connected to is set per project, batch write to or monitoring of multi-modules can be performed.
1. OVERVIEW MELSOFT (3) Simplified program by auto refresh setting Auto refresh setting is made to automatically read the following values stored in QD75/LD75/LD77 buffer memory to the QCPU/LCPU devices. • Feed present value • Machine feed value • Feed speed • Error No. • Warning No. • Enable M code Auto refresh setting reduces the number of FROM instructions used to read the buffer memory storage values, facilitating creation and debugging of programs.
1. OVERVIEW MELSOFT (5) Setting of optimum positioning data without complicated calculation Positioning data can be set by sub arc setting and automatic axis speed setting. Sub arc setting generates from the specified two linear interpolation control data the circular interpolation control data in which the angle between two linear paths is converted into a circular arc (curve) path.
1. OVERVIEW MELSOFT (8) Compatible with multiple CPU system (only for QD75) On GX Configurator-QP, setting the control CPU type and PLC No. of the QD75 to communicate with in Connection Setup (refer to Section 7.1) allows communication to be made with any QD75. PLC PLC PLC PLC No. 1 No. 2 No. 3 No. 4 QCPU QCPU QCPU QCPU QD75 QD75 QD75 1 2 3 PLC No. of control CPU In Connection Setup, specify the control CPU type and PLC No. of the QD75 to communicate with.
1. OVERVIEW MELSOFT 1.2 Manual Makeup This manual is made up of 11 chapters and appendices. This manual assumes that GX Configurator-QP is used to perform steps from positioning control system checking to operation in the following procedure. Step 1: Install and wire the positioning control system.
1. OVERVIEW MELSOFT (From the preceding page) Step 5: Set and write data to the positioning module. Refer To • Set the parameters appropriate for the positioning control system and control. • Set the servo parameters appropriate for the specifications of the servo amplifiers and motors used. (Only QD75M, QD75MH, and LD77) • Set the positioning data and M code comments. • Check the positioning data on the simulation screen.
