Installation environment
There is no difference in the general specifications of the entire system and the precautions for installation environment.
The MELSEC iQ-R series system can be installed in the same environment as the one for the MELSEC-Q series system.
Although their base units are different, their DIN rails can be used in common.
*1 For some module, the specifications may be different. For details, refer to the manual for the module used.
Example: When the extended temperature range base unit of the MELSEC iQ-R series is used, the upper limit of the operating ambient temperature is 60.
*2 For the RQ extension base unit, use the DIN rail adapter of the MELSEC-Q series.
*3 If the number of slots of the MELSEC-Q series base unit and the MELSEC iQ-R series base unit is same, their screw mounting position of the base unit installation holes is compatible.
Pay attention to the power capacity in selecting a model because the current consumption differs between
MELSEC iQ-R series and MELSEC-Q series modules.
Network configuration
The MELSEC iQ-R series module can access the MELSEC-Q series module via the network.
The MELSEC iQ-R series module and the MELSEC-Q series module can be used together in the same network.
For some module, the specifications may be different. For details, refer to the manual for the module used.
The available networks are as follows.
• Ethernet

Instruction names differ between the QnUDVCPU and the RCPU.
Names of instructions for the RCPU are changed so that the data status before and after conversion can be easily understood
from the name.
■
QCDSET, COMRD, S.SFCSCOMR, S.SFCTCOMR
The RCPU does not support the QCDSET, COMRD, S.SFCSCOMR, and S.SFCTCOMR instructions.
Change the program so that a device comment is read and stored to the GOT. (Use a GOT connectable to the RCPU.)

The RCPU does not support the CCOM instruction. Use the COM instruction instead.
An execution condition is given to the COM instruction for the RCPU. Therefore, the instruction operates in the same way as
the CCOM instruction for the QnUDVCPU.
• Program (GX Works2)

■
S.TO
The RCPU does not support the S.TO instruction. Use the TO instruction instead.
Since data are written at execution of the instruction, the completion device (D), which turns on for one scan upon completion
of the processing, is not provided for the TO instruction. If (D) is used in the MELSEC-Q series program, the program needs to
be corrected for the MELSEC iQ-R series.
In the program example below, M0 is the completion device (D).

UNIRD
The RCPU does not support the UNIRD instruction. Use the UNIINFRD instruction instead.
The UNIINFRD instruction reads module information in units of two words. If the module information (in units of one words)
read by using the UNIRD instruction is used in the MELSEC-Q series program, the program needs to be corrected for the
MELSEC iQ-R series.

DI, EI
An execution condition is given to the DI and EI instructions for the RCPU.
For this reason, an instruction to skip the execution of these instructions, such as a jump instruction, is not required. To
execute these instructions every scan in the same way as those for the QnUDVCPU, set SM400 (Always ON) as an execution
condition.

ECALL, EFCALL, PSTOP, POFF, SP.FREAD, SP.FWRITE
For the QnUDVCPU, the character code that can be specified to the file name (string) of the argument was ASCII and Shift
JIS. However, for the RCPU, it is changed to Unicode. Therefore, if the file name is specified with the character string constant
of ASCII or Shift JIS, it needs to be changed to Unicode. When changing the character code to Unicode, use the SJIS2WS(P)
instruction.

Devices and files
This section describes the specifications differences of devices and files used in the QnUDVCPU and the RCPU.
■
Special relay (SM) and special register (SD)
Some of the SM/SD number assignments differ between the QnUDVCPU and the RCPU. Also, some SM/SD areas are used
for different purposes. If SM/SD is used in the MELSEC-Q series program, the program needs to be corrected for MELSEC
iQ-R series.
When the QnUDVCPU project created by using GX Works2 is edited by "Open Other Format File" in GX Works3, the SM/SD
areas that have not been replaced in advance are automatically converted to the corresponding SM/SD areas or CPU buffer
memory (U3En\G*) assigned to the RCPU. If the area is converted to the CPU buffer memory (U3En\G*), 'n' is fixed to CPU
No.1. Change 'n' to the corresponding number as needed (for CPU No.2 to No.4).

■
Sampling trace function
The RCPU does not support the sampling trace function.
Use the trigger logging of the data logging function instead. Note that an SD memory card is required to store data because
the CPU built-in memory cannot be used as data storage destination in the RCPU.
■
Latch data backup to standard ROM
The RCPU does not support the latch data backup to standard ROM function.
Use the CPU module data backup/restoration function instead. Or, read data by using GX Works3 and store the data or write
the data back again to the CPU module.
■
CPU module change function with memory card
The RCPU does not support the CPU module change function with memory card.
Use the CPU module data backup/restoration function instead. Or, read data by using GX Works3 and store the data or write

To change a device value at the specified step, execute the online change function, and add a replacement program to the
desired position. (Delete the program to disable the processing.)
If the execution timing is set to before execution of an instruction in the QnUDVCPU program, add a program for the device
test before the corresponding step in the RCPU program. If the execution timing is set to after execution of an instruction, add
a program after the corresponding step.

Service processing
The RCPU performs file access processing, such as reading program files, without being synchronized with each scan (not
during END processing) so that the scan time will not be delayed due to the processing.
For this reason, the response performance does not improve even though the number of processing counts is increased in
the device/label access service processing setting. (The response performance does not improve either even though the
COM instruction is used.)
On the other hand, the RCPU performs device access processing, such as reading device data, during END processing.
Therefore, the response performance of device access processing can be improved by increasing the number of processing
counts in the device/label access service processing setting or by using the COM instruction.

■
Access to the host CPU operation information area in CPU shared memory
The RCPU does not have the host CPU operation information area (U3En\G0 and later) in CPU shared memory. If the host
CPU operation information area is used in the MELSEC-Q series program, the program needs to be corrected for the
MELSEC iQ-R series.
To check the operation information of another CPU module, refresh the data in the corresponding special register (SD) to the
CPU shared memory, and then access to the data stored in the memory.
■
Access to the multiple CPU high speed transmission area
Area used for data communications among multiple CPU modules has been extended in the RCPU. The multiple CPU high
speed transmission area is included in the fixed scan communication area, and the addresses have been changed from
U3En\G10000 and later to U3En\HG0 and later.
If the multiple CPU high speed transmission area is used in the MELSEC-Q series program, the program needs to be
corrected for the MELSEC iQ-R series.
When the QnUDVCPU project created by using GX Works2 is opened by "Open Other Format File" in GX Works3 and edited,
the addresses U3En\G10000 and later are automatically converted to U3En\HG0 and later. Note, however, that if the fixed
scan communication area is accessed by using the FROM/TO instructions, the access method needs to be corrected. Use the
data transfer instruction and CPU buffer memory access device, (example: MOV U3En\HG* D0) instead of the FROM/TO
instructions.
• Program that accesses the multiple CPU high speed transmission area (GX Works2)
■
Refresh using the multiple CPU high speed transmission area
The RCPU performs multiple CPU refresh at two timings: during END processing and at execution of the multiple CPU
synchronous interrupt (I45). Since refresh timing differs, if refresh using the multiple CPU high speed transmission area is set
in the MELSEC-Q series program, the program needs to be corrected for the MELSEC iQ-R series.
To perform refresh during END processing (the same timing as the QnUDVCPU), set the refresh timing in system parameter
("Refresh Setting (At the END)" under "CPU Buffer Memory Setting").

The number of characters in a password differs between the QnUDVCPU and the RCPU. Set a password within the range of
6 to 32 characters for the RCPU.
Also, change the number of characters in a password of an external device in accordance with the password set to the RCPU
if there is any external device, such as an FTP client, that accesses the programmable controller.
■
Self-diagnostic function
The RCPU batch-clears all the continuation errors being detected.
The delete-target continuation error does not need to be specified individually.
The error code system has been renewed for the RCPU. If an error code is set as an operating condition or interlock condition
in the MELSEC-Q program, the program needs to be corrected for the MELSEC iQ-R series.

MELSEC iQ-R C Controller Module Programming Manual (SH-081371ENG)
Parameters
In CW Configurator, parameters of a programmable controller can be set on a module configuration diagram, as if to configure
the actual system.
When it is possible to connect the actual system configuration, parameters can be set by reading the configuration.
Parameters also can be set in the Navigation window in the same way as Setting/monitoring tools for the C Controller module.
Parameters of functions in common with a CPU module are set by using an interface equivalent to GX Works2/GX Works3 in
Setting/monitoring tools for the C Controller module/CW Configurator.
For the basic differences of the parameter configuration, refer to the section for CPU modules.

Devices
There is no change in I/O devices and link direct devices.
For other devices, available points increase in MELSEC iQ-R series C Controller modules.
The following table shows devices which their names were changed to or which are newly available.
Some of the SM/SD number assignments differ. Also, some SM/SD areas are used for different purposes. If SM/SD is used in
the MELSEC-Q series program, the program needs to be corrected for MELSEC iQ-R series. For details, refer to the user's
manual of a CPU module used.

Analog Module
Analog-digital converter modules
This section describes the differences of analog-digital converter modules between the MELSEC-Q series (Q64AD/Q68ADV/
Q68ADI) and the MELSEC iQ-R series (R60AD4/R60ADV8/R60ADI8).
For details on the MELSEC iQ-R series, refer to the following manual.
MELSEC iQ-R Analog-Digital Converter Module User's Manual (Application) (SH-081233ENG)
Dedicated instructions
There is no difference between MELSEC-Q series and MELSEC iQ-R series.
Parameters
I/O signals and buffer memory areas
The layouts of I/O signals and buffer memory areas differ between the MELSEC-Q series and the MELSEC iQ-R series.
If I/O signals and buffer memory areas are used in the MELSEC-Q series program, the program needs to be corrected for the
MELSEC iQ-R series.
In Q compatible mode, the MELSEC-Q series program can be used as it is except for the differences in the signals and
functions listed below.
Function
■
Resolution mode switching function
The MELSEC iQ-R series modules do not support the resolution mode switching function because the resolution has already
been enhanced.
By using the scaling function, a converted value which is equivalent to that in the MELSEC-Q series can be determined.
Note that the converted value is stored into the "Digital operation value" area, and thus has a different buffer memory address
to be referred.
■
Temperature drift compensation function
The MELSEC iQ-R series modules do not support the temperature drift compensation function because the accuracy has
already been enhanced. (The accuracy is comparable to that of the MELSEC-Q series with the temperature drift
compensation function used.) If the function is used in the MELSEC-Q series program, the program needs to be corrected for
the MELSEC iQ-R series.
