Keyence KV-N14DT PLC Controller – 24 VDC Sink Output for Small Machines
The KV-N14DT brings dependable logic control to compact automation panels. Keyence built this KV Nano unit as a terminal-block type controller. It provides 8 input points and 6 transistor output points in one housing. Engineers choose this model when the panel runs on a 24 VDC supply. Moreover, the built-in RS-232C port links directly to HMIs and host computers.
Technical Specifications
The KV-N14DT 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 handle 100 kHz single-phase or 50 kHz phase-difference signals.
I/O and Communication Details
The base unit includes 8 inputs and 6 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 options via the backplane slot.
Electrical and Environmental Data
The KV-N14DT accepts a 24 VDC nominal supply with +/-10% tolerance. A 24 VDC output supply delivers 0.6 A. Outputs use MOSFET transistors in sink (NPN) mode, rated 30 VDC at 0.5 A per point. 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 output 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.
