 [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.
(2) When the programmable controller detects an abnormal condition, it stops the operation and all
outputs are:
• Turned off if the overcurrent or overvoltage protection of the power supply module is activated.
• Held or turned off according to the parameter setting if the self-diagnostic function of the CPU
module detects an error such as a watchdog timer error.
(3) All outputs may be turned on if an error occurs in a part, such as an I/O control part, where the
CPU module cannot detect any error. To ensure safety operation in such a case, provide a safety
mechanism or a fail-safe circuit external to the programmable controller. For a fail-safe circuit
example, refer to "General Safety Requirements" in the MELSEC iQ-R Module Configuration
Manual.
(4) Outputs may remain on or off due to a failure of a component such as a relay and transistor in an
output circuit. Configure an external circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a
serious accident.
 In an output circuit, when a load current exceeding the rated current or an overcurrent caused by a
load short-circuit flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an
external safety circuit, such as a fuse.
 Configure a circuit so that the programmable controller is turned on first and then the external power
supply. If the external power supply is turned on first, an accident may occur due to an incorrect output
or malfunction.
 Configure a circuit so that the external power supply is turned off first and then the programmable
controller. If the programmable controller is turned off first, an accident may occur due to an incorrect
output or malfunction.
 For the operating status of each station after a communication failure, refer to manuals for the network
used. For the manuals, please consult your local Mitsubishi representative. Incorrect output or
malfunction due to a communication failure may result in an accident.
 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. Improper
operation may damage machines or cause accidents. When a Safety CPU is used, data cannot be
modified while the Safety CPU is in SAFETY MODE.
 Especially, when a remote programmable controller is controlled by an external device, immediate
action cannot be taken if a problem occurs in the programmable controller due to a communication
failure. To prevent this, configure an interlock circuit in the program, and determine corrective actions
to be taken between the external device and CPU module in case of a communication failure.

2
[Design Precautions]
WARNING
 Do not write any data to the "system area" and "write-protect area" of the buffer memory in the
module. Also, do not use any "use prohibited" signals as an output signal from the CPU module to
each module. Doing so may cause malfunction of the programmable controller system. For the
"system area", "write-protect area", and the "use prohibited" signals, refer to the user's manual for the
module used. For areas used for safety communications, they are protected from being written by
users, and thus safety communications failure caused by data writing does not occur.
 If a communication cable is disconnected, the network may be unstable, resulting in a communication
failure of multiple stations. Configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire
system will always operate safely even if communications fail. Failure to do so may result in an
accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction. When safety communications are used, an
interlock by the safety station interlock function protects the system from an incorrect output or
malfunction.
[Precautions for using the channel isolated analog-digital converter modules in SIL2 mode]
 When the R60AD8-G detects a fault in the external power supply or programmable controller, a digital
operation value becomes an OFF value (equivalent to 0V/0mA) in all channels. Configure an external
circuit to ensure that the power source of a hazard is shut off when a digital operation value of the
R60AD8-G is an OFF value (equivalent to 0V/0mA). Failure to do so may result in an accident.
 When a communication failure occurs in CC-Link IE Field Network, a digital operation value of the
R60AD8-G becomes an OFF value (equivalent to 0V/0mA). Check the communication status
information and configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire system will
operate safely. Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.

[Design Precautions]
CAUTION
 Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Doing so may result in malfunction due to electromagnetic interference. Keep a distance of
100mm or more between those cables.
 During control of an inductive load such as a lamp, heater, or solenoid valve, a large current
(approximately ten times greater than normal) may flow when the output is turned from off to on.
Therefore, use a module that has a sufficient current rating.
 After the CPU module is powered on or is reset, the time taken to enter the RUN status varies
depending on the system configuration, parameter settings, and/or program size. Design circuits so
that the entire system will always operate safely, regardless of the time.
 Do not power off the programmable controller or reset the CPU module while the settings are being
written. Doing so will make the data in the flash ROM and SD memory card undefined. The values
need to be set in the buffer memory and written to the flash ROM and SD memory card again. Doing
so also may cause malfunction or failure of the module.
 When changing the operating status of the CPU module from external devices (such as the remote
RUN/STOP functions), select "Do Not Open by Program" for "Opening Method" of "Module
Parameter". If "OPEN in Program" is selected, an execution of the remote STOP function causes the
communication line to close. Consequently, the CPU module cannot reopen the line, and external
devices cannot execute the remote RUN function.

3
 [Security Precautions]
WARNING
 To maintain the security (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) of the programmable controller and
the system against unauthorized access, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, computer viruses, and other
cyberattacks from external devices via the network, take appropriate measures such as firewalls,
virtual private networks (VPNs), and antivirus solutions.

[Installation Precautions]
WARNING
 Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing the
module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.

[Installation Precautions]

the guide(s) of the base unit, push in the module, and fix it with screw(s). Incorrect interconnection
may cause malfunction, failure, or drop of the module.
 When using the programmable controller in an environment of frequent vibrations, fix the module with
a screw.
 Tighten the screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause drop of the
component or wire, short circuit, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module,
resulting in drop, short circuit, or malfunction. For the specified torque range, refer to the MELSEC iQ-
R Module Configuration Manual.
 When using an extension cable, connect it to the extension cable connector of the base unit securely.
Check the connection for looseness. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
 When using an SD memory card, fully insert it into the SD memory card slot. Check that it is inserted
completely. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
 Securely insert an extended SRAM cassette or a battery-less option cassette into the cassette
connector of the CPU module. After insertion, close the cassette cover and check that the cassette is
inserted completely. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
 Beware that the module could be very hot while power is on and immediately after power-off.
 Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module, SD memory
card, extended SRAM cassette, battery-less option cassette, or connector. Doing so can cause
malfunction or failure of the module.

solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when the terminal screw comes loose, resulting in
failure.
 Check the rated voltage and signal layout before wiring to the module, and connect the cables
correctly. Connecting a power supply with a different voltage rating or incorrect wiring may cause fire
or failure.
 Connectors for external devices must be crimped or pressed with the tool specified by the
manufacturer, or must be correctly soldered. Incomplete connections may cause short circuit, fire, or
malfunction.
 Securely connect the connector to the module. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
 Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Doing so may result in malfunction due to noise. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between
those cables.
 Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cables may swing or inadvertently be pulled,
resulting in malfunction or damage to modules or cables. In addition, the weight of the cables may put
stress on modules in an environment of strong vibrations and shocks. Do not clamp the extension
cables with the jacket stripped. Doing so may change the characteristics of the cables, resulting in
malfunction.
 Check the interface type and correctly connect the cable. Incorrect wiring (connecting the cable to an
incorrect interface) may cause failure of the module and external device.
 Tighten the terminal screws or connector screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening
can cause drop of the screw, short circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw
and/or module, resulting in drop, short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
 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. Pulling the cable connected to the module may result in malfunction or
damage to the module or cable.
 Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module. Such foreign matter can
cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.

 3 FUNCTION LIST
The following table lists the functions of the A/D converter module. For further details on the functions, refer to the following.
 MELSEC iQ-R Channel Isolated Analog-Digital Converter Module User's Manual (Application)
Item Description
Range switching function Allows the input range of analog input to be switched for each channel. Switching the range makes
it possible to change the I/O conversion characteristics.
A/D conversion enable/disable setting function Controls whether to enable or disable A/D conversion for each channel. Disabling A/D conversion
for unused channels reduces the conversion cycles.
A/D conversion Sampling processing Converts analog input values into digital output values at every sampling period, storing them in
method buffer memory areas.
Averaging Time average Executes A/D conversion for the set time and performs the averaging processing on the total value
processing excluding the maximum and minimum values. The processed values are stored in the buffer
memory area. The number of processing times within the set time changes depending on the
number of channels where A/D conversion is enabled.
Count average Executes A/D conversion for a set number of times and performs the averaging processing on the
total value excluding the maximum and minimum values. The processed values are stored in the
buffer memory area. The time taken to store the average value obtained by the average processing
in the buffer memory area changes depending on the number of channels where A/D conversion is
enabled.
Moving average Averages digital output values taken at every sampling period for a specified number of times, and
stores the averaged value in the buffer memory area. The target range for averaging processing
moves at each sampling period, thereby allowing the latest digital output value to be obtained.
Primary delay filter Smooths the transient noise of analog input depending on the set time constant. The smoothed
digital output values are stored in the buffer memory area.
Scaling function Performs scale conversion on digital output values within the range from a scaling upper limit value
to a scaling lower limit value, both of which are set at desired values. This function reduces the time
and effort to create a program of the scale conversion.
Alert output Process alarm Outputs an alert when a digital operation value falls within the preset alert output range.
function Rate alarm Outputs an alert if the change rate of a digital output value is equal to or more than the rate alarm
upper limit value, or is equal to or less than the rate alarm lower limit value.
Input signal error Upper limit detection, lower limit Outputs an alarm when an analog input value exceeds the preset range.
detection detection, upper and lower limit
function detection
Simple disconnection detection Outputs an alarm when an analog input value is 0.5V or smaller or 2mA or smaller.
Shift function Adds (shifts) a set conversion value shift amount to a digital output value, and stores the result in
the buffer memory area. A change in conversion value shift amount is reflected to the digital
operation value in real time, which facilitates fine adjustment at system start-up.
Digital clipping function Fixes a possible digital operation value to the maximum digital output value or the minimum digital
output value when an input current or voltage exceeds the input range.
Difference conversion function Subtracts a difference conversion reference value from a digital operation value and stores the
resulting value in the buffer memory area.
Maximum value/minimum value hold function Stores the maximum and minimum values of digital operation values in the buffer memory area for
each channel.
Logging function Logs (records) digital output values or digital operation values. For each channel, 1000 points data
can be logged.
Logging read function Makes it possible to store more than 1000 points of logging data without stopping logging by
transferring the device data to the file register of the CPU module during logging. This function
reduces the takt time in a test demanding high-speed conversion.
Interrupt function Executes an interrupt program of the CPU module when an interrupt factor such as an input signal
error or alert output is detected.
Error history function Records errors and alarms that have occurred in the A/D converter module, storing the record into
the buffer memory area. Up to 16 storage areas are provided for errors and alarms, respectively.
Event history function Collects generated errors and alarms, and performed operations in the A/D converter module as
event information into the CPU module.
Offset/gain setting Allows the correction of errors in digital output values.
Backing up, saving, and restoring offset/gain values The A/D converter module is capable of backing up, saving, and restoring offset/gain values of the
user range setting.

Appendix 2 Accuracy
The accuracy of A/D conversion is the accuracy of the maximum digital output value. The accuracy is given by the following
formula:
Accuracy = (Reference accuracy) + (Temperature coefficient)  (Temperature variation)
• Reference accuracy: The accuracy at an ambient temperature when the offset/gain setting is configured. (0.1% (32
digits))
• Temperature coefficient: The accuracy based on a temperature change of 1. (0.0035%/ (1.12 digits))
An output characteristic change resulting from a change in the offset/gain setting or the analog input range does not sacrifice
the reference accuracy and temperature coefficient, which are maintained within the described range of the performance
specifications
(except for the conditions under noise influence).

Ex.
Accuracy when the temperature changes by 5 from 25 to 30
(0.1%) + (0.0035%/  5) = 0.1175% (38 digits)
