The QA conversion adapter module enables the existing extension base, including the mounted I/O modules, to connect to a Q Series main base unit. This can shorten the installation and wiring modification times.
Solution and Benefit
The following is an example of reusing existing A (Large Type) Series modules with a Q Series CPU using the QA conversion adapter module.
● Instructions
(1) Replace the A (Large Type) Series CPU with the Q Series CPU (Q03UDCPU) and mount it on the Q Series main base unit (Q3B).
(2) To reutilize I/O modules mounted on the existing A (Large Type) Series main base unit, mount them on the QA6B extension base unit.
(3) Mount the "QA6ADP" adapter on the connector of each existing extension base unit to allow the use of existing modules.
(4) Connect the base units with the Q Series extension cable (QCB).

3.1 Replace A/QnA (Large Type) Series with Q Series
•By using the current AnS/QnAS (Small Type) module, the wiring work during replacement can be reduced. Replacements can be completed in a short time.
•Replacement is possible even if a compatible L Series module is not available
The CPU can be replaced with the LCPU. An example of using a current A (Small Type) module without modification to shorten the re-wiring man-hours is shown below.
● Instructions
(1) Only the CPU is replaced to the L Series. The current I/O module is used.
Replace the existing AnS/QnAS (Small Type) main base A1S35B to LA1S65B, and mount the existing module.
(2) If the module must be replaced with the L Series, select the module and then mount on the L Series main base unit.
(3) Avoid changing the current I/O assignments.
