Programmable Logic Controller KV-X series

New Starts up Any Motor in 5 Minutes

A game-changer for motor control New-generation PLC.

  • [Easy] With Universal Library built in, the startup process can be completed in just 5 minutes
  • [Ultra high-speed] The control periods of 125 µs/12 axes and 1 ms or less/128 axes provide high-speed motion control
  • [Multi-axis] With EtherCAT® motion installed, up to 256 axes can be controlled with a single CPU, allowing even large-scale devices to be controlled

KV-X series - Programmable Logic Controller

Equipped with Universal Library to challenge the status quo of motor control, this new-generation PLC is compliant with IEC 61131-3, an international standard for PLC programs. The Machine Operation Recorder function records all variables, devices, cameras, and events when a problem occurs. This PLC accelerates every process from design to startup. Furthermore, the novel PLC platform adopts a Quad Core CPU and large-capacity memory, and the CPU unit works with the EtherCAT®, EtherNet/IP™, and OPC UA communication protocols. Motion control period, program execution speed, and system responsivity. This PLC achieves higher speed for various types of device control.
