KCX-B*(M) replace
Question
I am continuously using KCX-B* (KCX-B*M).
I heard that it will be discontinued, 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.
-Notes-
If used under the following conditions, it can be replaced with KCX-*D (KCX-*DM).
– Input logic: Positive logic (SW4 B side)
– Output operation switching: Mode 0 to 5 (SW5)
– When counting only in one direction (only adding, only subtracting)

Model number comparison table
| KCX-B series | KCV series | remarks |
|---|---|---|
| KCX-B4 | KCV-4S | 4-digit AC power supply |
| KCX-B4M | ||
| KCX-B6 | KCV-6S | 6-digit AC power supply |
| KCX-B6M |
Notes
1. External dimensions are different. (KCX: 72mm square -> KCV: 48mm square)
2. The maximum input 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. Set the prediction output setting of KCV to “zero”.

| 0 and 3 | Holding | Continuous | Available |
| 1 and 4 | One-shot | Continuous | Unavailable |
| 2 and 5 | One-shot | Reset | Available |
| 6 and 9 | Count value is greater than the set value | Unavailable | |
| 7 | Count value is 0 or more and less than the set value | Unavailable | |

Input connection method
Output connection method
Preset value
Both KCX-B / KCV are set with each digit key.
DIP switch setting
When replacing modes 0 and 3 (hold output / count continuous), SW5 of KCV is set to ON.
When replacing modes 2 and 5 (one-shot output / count reset), set SW5 of KCV to OFF.
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).
