Item Q170MCPU Q173DCPU/Q172DCPU
I/O signal
• Q170MCPU's internal I/F
(Note-1)
• PLC I/O module
• PLC I/O module
(Note-1): Real input device (PX) or real output device (PY) is in units of 16 points.
• Real input (PX): 4 points + Dummy (Unsable: Fixed at 0) 12 points
• Real output (PY): 2 points + Dummy (Unsable: Fixed at 0) 14 points
(Example) When the first I/O No. is set to 0(H).
• PX0 to PX3 (Real input), PX4 to PXF (Unsable: Fixed at 0)
• PY0 to PY1 (Real output), PY2 to PYF (Unsable: Fixed at 0)
(1) Q170M I/O setting
The setting method for the I/O signals of internal I/F is shown below.

(2) Application of input signal
There are two kinds of applications of the input and mark detection for the
Q170MCPU's internal I/F.
The same signal can be used simultaneously by the input and mark detection.
