Compatible System and Applications
The PCON-CB-42PWAI-PN-2-0 is used in automated assembly systems, product handling equipment, packaging lines, inspection machines and production fixtures. It enables a PLC to select programmed actuator positions, issue movement commands and monitor completion, alarm and operating status signals through PNP I/O.
Maintenance and Replacement Notes
This PN version must not be confused with the NP version. PN indicates PNP source-type I/O, while NP indicates NPN sink-type I/O. Installing the wrong logic version can prevent correct communication with the PLC and may require changes to the machine wiring. Verify the complete controller model, actuator label, motor and feedback codes, PNP wiring, cable specification, firmware and stored parameter data before replacement.
Related Models
