(3) Simplified program by auto refresh setting
Auto refresh setting is made to automatically read the following values stored in
QD75/LD75/LD77 buffer memory to the QCPU/LCPU devices.
• Feed present value
• Machine feed value
• Feed speed
• Error No.
• Warning No.
• Enable M code
Auto refresh setting reduces the number of FROM instructions used to read the
buffer memory storage values, facilitating creation and debugging of programs.
(4) Ease of operation with navigation function (only for QD75P/QD75D)
GX Configurator-QP has a navigation function which can perform operations
from data setting, write to the QD75P/QD75D, monitoring, test to data storage in
a sequential order.
As basic settings and debugging can be performed in orderly sequence, you can
understand operations necessary for this software and positioning control.

(5) Setting of optimum positioning data without complicated calculation
Positioning data can be set by sub arc setting and automatic axis speed setting.
Sub arc setting generates from the specified two linear interpolation control data
the circular interpolation control data in which the angle between two linear paths
is converted into a circular arc (curve) path.
Sub axis speed setting calculates the axis speed (command speed) from the
operation time, travel, acceleration/deceleration time and motor specifications.
[Sub arc]
[Speed of axis setting]
These functions allow the optimum positioning data to be set without complicated
calculation and advance measurement.
(6) Ease of transition from AD75 (only for QD75)
You can read and use the data created on A series SW1 -AD75P and GX
Configurator-AP.
Valuable data is not wasted and can be utilized for QD75.

• If you set the personal computer interfaces to the same COM port in GX
Configurator-QP and GX Developer, set the baudrate to the same speed.
If they are started at the same time, the baudrate set first has priority and the
baudrate set later is ignored.
• If GX Configurator-QP is forced to end in the test mode, a time-out occurs due to
the elapse of the wait time and the QD75/LD75/LD77 cancels the test mode.
• A communications error may occur if communications are made with the
QCPU/LCPU after setting of any of the resume function, suspend setting, powersaving function and standby mode of the peripheral device. For this reason, do not
set the above functions when communicating with the QD75/LD75/LD77.
• If the USB cable is disconnected/connected, the QCPU/LCPU is reset, or power is
switched on/off frequently during communications with the QCPU/LCPU, a
communications error may occur and the system may not recover from the error.
Hence, place the system offline when disconnecting/connecting the USB cable,
resetting the QCPU/LCPU, or switching power on/off.
If the system does not recover from the communications error, completely
disconnect the USB cable once and reconnect it after more than 5 seconds has
elapsed. (An error may occur at the initial communications after this operation, but
the system will function properly from the second time onwards.)
• A communication error may occur depending on the combination of the personal
computer model, USB cable and so on.
In that case, refer to the message displayed and perform operation again.
• If the baudrate is changed at the serial port of the personal computer (personal
computer interface) to perform fast communication, communications may not be
made or a communications delay may occur due to a communications retry
depending on the performance of the personal computer.
If communications cannot be made for fast communication, reduce the baudrate
and restart communication.
• If "Multiple PLC specification" is set for the "PLC No. 2", "PLC No. 3" or "PLC No.
4" in the PLC side setting, that setting is made valid only when the QD75 of

of Axis 2 to Axis 4 are initial values.)
When the project whose number of axes is 4 is saved after changing to a model
for 1 or 2 axes, the data of Axis 3/Axis 4 is saved unchanged.
Therefore, the model can be changed without restriction on the model selected
when a new project is created.
