Symbol (color)

Name and Function

PWR (Green)

Power indicator (*1)
• Lights off (always): No power supply to the instrument.
• Lights up (always): Power supply to the instrument.
• Flashing (500 ms lights up/500 ms lights off):
Non-volatile IC memory error.

T/R (Yellow)

Communication indicator (*1)
• Lights off (always): Ethernet communication error (no response) or USB communication.
• Flashing (slow):
Ethernet communication error (reception error).
• Flashing (fast):
Ethernet communication is normal.

ALM (Red)

Alarm indicator (*1)
• Lights up (1 sec.):
When communication with the slave [control module (QTC1- )] is error. (*2)
• Flashing (250 ms lights up/250 ms lights off):
When power is supplied from a PC via USB.

LA1 (Yellow)

Link indicator (LA1)• Lights up (always):• Lights off (always):

When link is established.
When link is not established.

LA2 (Yellow)

Link indicator (LA2)• Always lights off

RUN (Green)Line connection indicator (*1)
• Lights up:
When Ethernet connection.

ERR (Red)

Communication error indicator (*1)
• Lights off (always): No errors.
• Lights up (1 sec.):
When communication error occurs in SLMP communication (*3) of Ethernet.
(e.g.) When data outside the setting range is sent from the PLC The ERR indicator lights up for
1 second in response to a negative-acknowledgement from the connected module.

(*1): Each operation indicator (except LA1 and LA2) lights up sequentially during warm-up after power-on.
(*2): Does not light up in the SIF function.
(*3) Communication protocol for Mitsubishi Electric Corporation PLC MELSEC.

Power failure countermeasureThe setting data is backed up in the non-volatile IC memory.

Watchdog timer

Monitors program runaway and halt with a watchdog timer, and resets the MCU and the instrument to theinitial state when an abnormality is detected.

Warm up indication

After power-on, each operation indicator (except LA1 and LA2) lights up sequentially.

Total energizing timemeasurement function

It can check the time that the power is on.
If the accumulated time exceeds 65535 hours, it will be added from 0 hours.
It can grasp the approximate usage time from the accumulated time. However, since the save cycle is 1hour, the time within 1 hour may not be saved due to a power failure.
Total energizing time: 1 hour/countConsole communication

Connect USB communication cable (commercial item) to the console communication connector, and thefollowing operations can be performed from an external computer using the console software (SWCQMC101M).
(1) Reading and setting items required for Ethernet communication (protocol selection, QMC1-MT IP
address setting, etc.)(2) Operation status reading(3) Read and set the each setting value of the SIF function(4) Change of function
