Question

Question

I would like to replace KCN-A*ST-*.
Please tell me the successor model and update procedure when updating to the current product.

Answer

Answer

The successor model will be the KCV series.
Since there are differences in specifications, please check the following notes when replacing.

Model number comparison table

KCN-A series KCV series Remarks
KCN-A4ST KCV-4S 4-digit AC power supply transistor output
KCN-A6ST KCV-6S 6 digit AC power supply transistor output
KCN-A4ST-C KCV-4S-C 4-digit DC power supply transistor output
KCN-A6ST-C KCV-6S-C 6-digit DC power supply transistor output

Notes

1. KCV does not support PNP output. For NPN open collector connection only.
2. The maximum input speed is different. (KCN-A:5kHz -> KCV:10kHz)
3. Set the KCV with prediction output setting to “zero”.
4. The terminal block arrangement and setup menu items / display order are different between KCN-A and KCV.
5. The key protection method is different.
6. KCV will not output, if the set value is 0.
7. The depth dimension of the product is different. (AC power supply: + 10mm, DC power supply: + 5mm)
