Keyence KV-N14DR PLC Controller – Relay Output for Mixed Loads
The KV-N14DR delivers reliable logic control in a space-saving terminal-block housing. Keyence designed this KV Nano unit for panels that run on 24 VDC. It provides 8 input points and 6 relay output points on a single base unit. Engineers choose this model when loads mix AC and DC devices. Moreover, the relay contacts handle higher voltages than standard transistor outputs allow.
Technical Specifications
The KV-N14DR offers 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-N14DR accepts a 24 VDC nominal supply with +/-10% 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 24 VDC 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.
