Replace the system to Q Series while utilizing the existing wiring

AnS/Q Upgrade Tool Products

Supported series: AnS/QnS

Upgrade tool products

The upgrade tool products consists of the following three parts:
- a conversion adapter, which enables utilization of the wiring, which was connected to the AnS/QnAS Series input/output/analog/high-speed counter/temperature input/temperature control module, with the Q Series module,
- a base adapter, which enables a Q Series base unit installation using the installation holes of the AnS/QnAS Series base unit, and
- a conversion adapter DIN rail mounting bracket, which enables the use of a conversion adapter with support flange (for a Q Series base unit) and a disconnection detection connector conversion cable (for a temperature control module).

Time and wire saving devices

Time and wire saving devices are useful for system configuration with the Q Series modules.
Connector/terminal conversion modules, digital signal converters (terminal modules), and positioning module cables are available.
When it is difficult to replace modules due to their specifications, utilizing time and wire saving devices makes it easier to replace the modules.
