Product details

Motion Controller for Multi-Axis Positioning

The Q172CPUN is a Mitsubishi Q series motion controller supporting PTP (point-to-point) control, constant-speed positioning, and high-speed oscillation control. Its interpolation function handles up to 4 axes for linear moves, 2 axes for circular arcs, and 3 axes for helical paths — covering the common motion profiles in pick-and-place, packaging, and machine tool applications. Backlash compensation and electronic gear are built in, so the controller can correct for mechanical hysteresis directly without an external compensation module.

Rack Integration and Power Budget

The Q172CPUN draws 1.14 A from the backplane supply. Ensure the rack's total load stays within the power module's limit.

Frequently asked questions

What control modes and interpolation does the Q172CPUN support?

The controller supports PTP (point-to-point), constant-speed positioning, and high-speed oscillation control. Interpolation includes linear up to 4 axes, circular up to 2 axes, and helical up to 3 axes.

Can the Q172CPUN drop into a panel originally specified for the FX5-8EX/ES?

No, the FX5-8EX/ES is a MELSEC iQ-F series DC input module and is not a motion controller. The Q172CPUN is a Q series motion controller and requires a Q series base rack; wiring and form factor are entirely different.
