I have a task to do PLC Transition from A series to Q series (mitsubishi). Please find below the A series modules that need to do the transition;

Power Supply : A61P (x 2 unit)
CPU : A2N (x1 unit)
I/O : AX11 (x 4 units), AG61 (x 1 unit), AY23 (x 4 units)
Base Plate : A38B (x1 unit)
Extension Base Plate : A68B (x1 unit)

The system contains 2 base plate which is, Main Base Plate and Extension Base Plate.

Main base plate (A38B) contains 1x P/S (A61P), 1x CPU (A2N), 4x (AX11), 1x (AG61), and 3x (AY23).


Extension base Plate (A68B) contains 1x P/S (A61P), and 1x (AY23).

Any body can assist me to do the selection for the Q series system. I need module number.

Please also advice interm of the procedures.

Can you confirm the part number AG61?

I do not recognise that part (AG60 or AG62 are slot fillers)

My recommendation would be:
2x Q61P - 110V AC Power Supply
1x Q312B - Main Base Unit
1x Q68B - Ext Base Unit
1x Q01CPU - 14kstep CPU
8x QX10 - 16point Digital Input 110V AC
8x QY22 - 16point Triac Digital Output 110V AC
1x QC06B - Rack Interconnect Cable
4x QG60 - slot filler

Which software will you be using to upgrade to existing code? Be careful as GX Developer may not do a perfect conversion! Any instructions it does not recognise in the A-series software will be deleted and a special coil used in its place to indicate a problem. This is often the case on LEDA/LEDB/LEDC instructions which require re-coding to native instructions in the new CPU.

Hope that helps.

I would just add if you can afford the more expensive Q02 or Q02H CPU
you can get USB programming port, faster speed and floating point. It
may not be worth it depending on what you are doing.
