KCX-B□W(M) replace

Question
I am continuously using KCX-B □ W (KCX-B □ WM).
I heard that it will be discountinued, which is the alternative model?

Answer
A similar model is the KCV series.
Since there are differences in specifications, please check the following notes when replacing.
Replacement
Model number comparison table
KCX-B series | KCV series | remarks |
---|---|---|
KCX-B4W | KCV-4S | 4-digit AC power supply |
KCX-B4WM | ||
KCX-B6W | KCV-6S | 6-digit AC power supply |
KCX-B6WM |
Notes
The external dimensions are different. (KCX: 72mm □ → KCV: 48mm □)
2. The maximum counting speed is different. (KCX-B: 20kHz → KCV: 10kHz)
3. The output current of the power supply for the sensor is different. (KCX: 80mA → KCV: 60mA)
4. The KCV transistor output cannot be used in positive logic (PNP).
5. The terminal block arrangement and setup method are different between KCX-B and KCV.
6. KCX has no contact output / contact output for the first set value,
There is also a non-contact output / contact output for the second set value,
For KCV, the output of the first set value (with prediction output) is non-contact output,
The output of the second set value is the contact output.
About operation
mode | First set value | Second set value | Replaceability |
---|---|---|---|
0 | Retention output / Counting continuation | Retention output / Counting continuation | ○ |
1 | One-shot output / counting continuation | × | |
2 | One-shot output / counting reset | × | |
3 | One-shot output / counting continuation | Retention output / Counting continuation | × |
4 | One-shot output / counting continuation | × | |
5 | One-shot output / counting reset | × | |
6 | Count value ≤ first set value | Count value ≥ second set value | × |
7 | First set value ≤ count value ≤ second set value | × | |
8 | Count value ≥ second set value | Count value < 0 | × |
9 | First set value ≤ count value ≤ second set value | Count value ≥ second set value | × |
Input connection method

Output connection method

If the contact output is used for the KCX-B’s first set value output, an external relay is required at the time of replacement.
If a non-contact output is used for the second set value output of KCX-B, it will be a contact output after replacement.
Preset value
Both KCX-B / KCV are set with each digit key.
DIP switch setting

When replacing mode 0 (hold output / count continuation), SW5 of KCV is set to ON.
KCX-B □ Dip SW4 (input / output logic) settings are set in the KCV setup mode.
* The transistor output of KCV cannot be used in positive logic (PNP).
