● 2-slot type conversion adapters cannot be used.
● If the same base adapter and conversion adapter support flange for replacing the MELSEC-A series with the MELSEC iQ-R series are used, an extended temperature range base unit can be used to replace the JW series and the GL series.
(Note, however, that drilling of two additional installation holes may be required depending on the existing base unit.)
