Keyence KV-N14AR PLC Controller – Relay Output for Mixed Loads
The KV-N14AR offers dependable logic control in a compact terminal-block housing. Keyence designed this KV Nano unit for panels where space is tight. It provides 8 input points and 6 relay output points on one base unit. Engineers choose this model when loads mix AC and DC devices. Moreover, the relay contacts handle higher voltages than transistor outputs allow.
Technical Specifications
The KV-N14AR delivers an 8k program capacity. Basic instruction execution starts at 50 ns. Application instructions run at 170 ns. Furthermore, the controller accepts expanded ladder, KV Script, and mnemonic programming. Two positioning pulse outputs reach 100 kHz per axis. Besides that, two 32-bit high-speed counters process 100 kHz single-phase or 50 kHz phase-difference signals.
I/O and Communication Details
The base unit carries 8 inputs and 6 relay outputs. Users can attach up to 3 expansion units through the backplane. This raises total capacity to 128 I/O points. Meanwhile, the RS-232C modular connector supports KV STUDIO and no-protocol serial links. Communication modules also extend connectivity via the backplane slot.
Electrical and Environmental Data
The KV-N14AR accepts 100 to 240 VAC input power with +10%/-15% tolerance. A 24 VDC output supply delivers 0.6 A. Relay outputs suit both AC and DC switching tasks. Operating temperature ranges from 0 to +55 °C without freezing. Storage temperature spans -25 to +75 °C. In addition, humidity tolerance covers 5 to 95% RH without condensation.
Installation Guide
First, mount the unit on a DIN rail or panel inside a clean enclosure. Next, wire the AC supply to the marked terminals. Then connect input signals and relay loads following the terminal diagram. Keep high-voltage cables away from signal lines to reduce noise. Finally, set the communication parameters in KV STUDIO and run a test program.
