Thank you for your continued support of Mitsubishi programmable controllers, MELSEC series.

This bulletin provides a caution when using the Universal model QCPU with the SCJ instruction.

1. Caution
When using the Universal model QCPU with the SCJ instruction, insert the special relay (SM400) (or the NOP
instruction) in immediately before the SCJ instruction.
However, if the immediately preceding instruction meets the following conditions, use the existing programs.

2. Condition
y When the instructions listed in Table 1 are executed immediately before the SCJ instruction or subset processing is used
for the listed instructions in Table 2 to be executed immediately before the SCJ instruction.

(1) Subset Processing

Subset processing is used to place limits on bit devices used by basic instructions and application instructions in order
to increase processing speed.

Conditions which each device must meet for subset processing.

(a) When using word data

Device Condition
y Designates a bit device number in a factor of 16.
Bit device y Only K4 can be designated for digit designation.
y Does not perform indexing.
y Internal user device.
y File register (R, ZR *1)
Word device
y Multiple CPU shared device *1, *2
y Index register (Z) / Standard device register (Z) *1
Constants y No limitations

(b) When using double word data

Device Condition
y Designates a bit device number in a factor of 16.
Bit device y Only K8 can be designated for digit designation.
y Does not perform indexing.
y Internal user device.
y File register (R, ZR *1)
Word device
y Multiple CPU shared device *1, *2
y Index register (Z) / Standard device register (Z) *1
Constants y No limitations

(c) When using bit data

Device Condition
Bit device y Internal user device (indexing possible)
y Bit specification of internal user device
Word device y Bit specification of file register (R, ZR *1)
y Bit specification of multiple CPU shared device *1, *2
*1: Only for Universal model QCPU
*2: Valid only for the multiple CPU high speed transmission area (from U3En\G10000)
(Excluding the case that indexing is executed for the head I/O number of the CPU module (U3En\G10000))

3. Program update method

(1) Insert the special relay (SM400) (or the NOP instruction) in immediately before the SCJ instruction as shown in the
following program.
<Before updating>
[Ladder Mode] [List Mode]

The instruction to be executed immediately before the SCJ instruction

does not meet the conditions described in 2. Condition.
Step Instruction Device

<After updating>
[Ladder Mode] [List Mode]
The special relay (SM400) (or the NOP instruction) is inserted
SCJSM400NOP
immediately before the SCJ instruction.
Step Instruction
Device

(2) If the immediately preceding instruction meets the conditions described in 2.Condition above, inserting the special
relay SM400 (or NOP instruction) is not required. Therefore, use the existing program as shown below.
[Ladder Mode] [List Mode]

The instruction to be executed immediately before the SCJ instruction

meets the conditions described in 2. Condition.
