Note to User

When using the Visual KV Series in the following conditions or environments, be
sure to use the Visual KV Series with sufficient margin regarding the rating and
functions, take appropriate safety precautions such as fail-safe, and contact our
sales personnel if any questions arise.

• Use in conditions or environments not described in this manual

• Use for nuclear power control, railway facilities, air service facilities, vehicles,
combustion devices, medical equipment, amusement machines, safety equip­ment, etc.

• Use for applications where large effects are predicted to be given on human lives
and properties and safety is especially requested.

Restriction on Acquiring the CE Marking

■ Restriction to be compatible with EMC directives

• When using a relay output type unit (whose model name ends with "R"), connect
spark killers having the appropriate withstand voltage against the load to the
output terminals in parallel to contacts (because the unit discharges when a relay
contact becomes open and noise is generated). In our experiments, we use the
following models of spark killers.

XEB0101 0.1 µF-10 Ω manufactured by OKAYA DENKI SANGYO
The following 1-turn ferrite core is added to the AC power input circuit of the KV-

40AR/T, the KV-24AR/T and to the DC power input circuit of the KV-40DR/T.
ZCAT3035-1330 manufactured by TDK

Note: The contents above do not by themselves ensure that the entire machine
manufactured in accordance with the above contents is compatible with EMC
directives.

You must judge by yourself whether or not the entire machine is compatible with
EMC directives because compatibility may change depending on the component
configuration, wiring and location inside of the machine.

■ Restriction on compatibility with low-voltage directives (IEC-1010-1)

• Use insulated type crimp-style terminals.

• For wiring materials, use lead wires whose sheath is 0.4 mm or more.

• The Visual KV Series is allowed to be installed in a vertical position only.
(Spacers for expansion units are not available.)

• Be sure to use the Visual KV Series inside the control panel.

Features of the Visual KV Series

● Extremely small

The Visual KV Series is the smallest in the world among AC type PLCs equipped
with screw terminal blocks, and saves installation space.

● Extremely fast

The minimum scan time is 140 µs and minimum instruction execution time is 0.7
µs, which is the fastest control in its class.

● AC power built-in type newly added

AC power built-in type units are newly added. This type can be used in small
spaces where a switching power supply unit cannot be installed.

● Excellent Access Window

An Access Window with two-color backlight is adopted in all models to facilitate
changing and monitoring of device data. Changing between RUN mode and
PROGRAM mode, checking the error code when an error has occurred, etc. can
be performed in a Visual KV Series unit without the need for any handheld
programmer.
The analog trimmer, which has been popular in the conventional KV Series, is
digitized to enable more detail settings. [Digital trimmers]

● User message setting function

In the Access Window, 256 different user messages can be displayed. This
function can be used to give instructions on works on the production line, indicate
abnormalities in the units, etc.

● Program write in RUN mode

Ladder programs can be changed even while the system is running.

● Equipped with two serial ports

Visual KV Series basic units are equipped with two serial ports to connect periph­eral units, improving the debug environment.
(The KV-10xx is equipped with only one serial port.)

● Easy Ramp-up/down control function

The one-axis motor control function is offered separately from high-speed
counters so that feedback control is enabled.

● Equipped with two 24-bit high-speed 30 kHz, two-phase counters

The Visual KV Series is equipped with two high-speed counters each with a two­point comparator output function that enables high-speed encoder input.

● Specified frequency pulse output function

High-speed counters can function as pulse oscillators of 50 kHz maximum with
easy setting, without creating a complicated ladder program.

● Frequency counter function

High-speed counters can function as frequency counters with easy setting,
without creating complicated ladder programs.

(3)

● Cam switch function

High-speed counters can function as cam switches with easy setting, without
creating complicated ladder programs.

● Interrupt function

The Visual KV Series is equipped with four high-speed interrupt inputs of
10 µs maximum.

● Input time constant change function

The time constant can be set in 7 steps from 10 µs to 10 ms.

● Double memory backup functions

In addition to a conventional SRAM battery backup function, the Visual KV Series
is also equipped with an EEPROM backup function.

Compatibility with Conventional KV Series Peripheral Units

The Visual KV Series functions as a high-end compatible model of the conventional
KV Series. Peripheral units of the conventional KV Series such as the ladder support
software "KV IncrediWare (DOS)" and "LADDER BUILDER for KV" and the
handheld programmer KV-P3E(01) can be used since they are part of the Visual KV
Series.
However, it should be noted that the contents have changed as follows.

• The internal clock cycle of high-speed counters consists of three types: 1 µs, 10
µs, and 100 µs.

• The time constant for an input relay specified by the HSP instruction is 10 µs.

• The analog trimmer function is set with the Access Window built into the basic
unit.

• The available device setting range of the TMIN instruction is from 0 to 65535.
[Handheld programmer KV-P3E(01) can display 0 to 9999 .]

• The RUN/PROGRAM LED is displayed in the Access Window provided on the
front face of the basic unit.

• Transistor output is not independent, but is common.

• With the transistor type, the output terminal layout is different.

• The specifications for output current of transistor outputs Nos. 500 to 502 is 100
mA.

• Conventional KV Series expansion units are not available as expansion units for
the Visual KV Series.

• The channel setting switch is not provided for expansion units. Channels are
determined in connection order.

• Scans in expansion I/O units are not synchronous with the scan time in Visual KV
Series basic units.

• Assignment of special utility relays has partially changed.

• Data memory device Nos. DM1000 to DM1999 are assigned as special data
memories.

(4)

Cautions when using the previous version of ladder support software

Pay strict attention to the following items when using the ladder support software.

• When using the ladder support software "KV IncrediWare (DOS)" or "LADDER
BUILDER for KV Ver. 1.0x", set the model to "KV-300".

• DM0 to DM1999 are only available.

CAUTION

When the ladder support software "LADDER BUILDER for KV Ver. 1.0x" is
used, do not use the monitor’s Change All function. If the Change All function
is used, the basic unit may be damaged. Never use the Change All function.

Peripheral units and other units incompatible with the Visual KV Series

Peripheral units in the conventional KV Series and other units shown below are not
compatible with the Visual KV Series.

• Expansion I/O units for the conventional KV Series: KV-8ER/8ET/8EX/16EX/
8EYR/8EYT/16EYR/16EYT

• Analog I/O units for the conventional KV Series: KV-AD4/DA4

Cautions when Using the Serial Port

The KV-16xx/24xx/40xx units are equipped with two RJ-11 modular connectors for
serial communication.
When using them, pay strict attention to the following contents:

• Programs can be transferred and monitored using either communication port A or
B. However, never connect the ladder software and a handheld programmer to
the two ports at the same time.

• The KV-D20 operator interface panel can be connected to either communication
port A or B. However, only one KV-D20 unit can be connected to a single basic
unit.

• Never leave both the KV-D20 operator interface panel and KV-P3E(01) handheld
programmer on simultaneously for a long period of time.

■ Drop in supply voltage

When the supply voltage drops, the Visual KV Series stops operating and the
output turns off.

■ Detection of instantaneous power interruption

• An AC type basic unit continues operating against instantaneous power interrup­tion of less than 40 ms. A DC type basic unit continues operating against
instantaneous power interruption of less than 2 ms.

• An AC type basic unit may or may not accept instantaneous power interruption of
40 ms or more. A DC type basic unit may or may not accept instantaneous power
interruption of 2 ms or more.

• When accepting instantaneous power interruption, a basic unit stops operating
and the output turns off.

■ Automatic recovery

• Once the supply voltage recovers, the Visual KV Series restarts operation auto­matically.

Note: If the supply voltage increases gradually or drops, the Visual KV Series may
repeat operation and then stop. If problems continue to occur with equipment and
other operations from repetitive starts and stops, provide a protection circuit so that
the output shuts down until the voltage reaches the rated value.

■ Time until start of operation

• The time period from when the power is turned on until operation starts varies
depending on the conditions, including the supply voltage, system configuration,
and operating environment. The minimum time is approximately 1.2 ms.

• When a user program is changed, it will be saved in the EEPROM when the
power is next turned on. Therefore, in such a case, the time period from when the
power is turned on until operation starts is longer than usual.

Chapter 1 Configuration and Specifications

Data backup function against instantaneous power interruption

■ Electrical double-layer capacitor built into the basic unit

Contents of data memories, current values of counters, and the contents of internal
utility relays in a Visual KV Series basic unit are saved in RAM backed up with an
electrical double-layer capacitor built into the Visual KV Series basic unit by the Data
backup function against instantaneous power interruption.

1.2 Specifications

The backup time varies depending on the ambient temperature.
If power to the Visual KV Series basic unit remains OFF for more than the holding

time by the RAM, the data may be cleared or become corrupted.
To avoid the data being cleared, save the data in the EEPROM using the backup

function to the EEPROM.

➮

For writing to and reading from the EEPROM, refer to "LOAD mode and SAVE mode" (p.1-96).

When a user program is written, it is saved in RAM. The next time the power is
turned on, the user program is automatically transferred from RAM to the EEPROM
and is also saved in the EEPROM. If power to the Visual KV Series basic unit will
remain OFF for more than the backup time by the RAM, turn the power off immedi­ately after writing a user program, and then turn the power on again so that the user
program is transferred to the EEPROM.

• Data backup function by electrical double-layer capacitor built into the
basic unit

Visual KV Series: 2 months or more at 25°C (77°F)
(20 days or more at 25°C (77°F) in KV-10xx)

■ EEPROM

The Visual KV Series basic unit is equipped with a backup function to save pro­grams, contents of data memories, current values of counters, etc. in the EEPROM.

Series

Visual KV

1

1

Even if the power is interrupted or power to the Visual KV Series basic unit remains
OFF, the data is still saved. When the power turns ON again, the contents of the
EEPROM is automatically read. (The contents of data memories and current values
of counters should be read by manipulating the Access Window.)

When data is changed and the power is turned off without saving the changed data,
the changes are saved only in the built-in electrical double-layer capacitor and are
not saved in the EEPROM.

If the Visual KV Series basic unit remains OFF for 2 months or more at 25°C (77°F)
(20 days or more at 25°C (77°F) in KV-10xx) while the data is backed up only with
the built-in electrical double-layer capacitor, the saved contents may be cleared or
become corrupted.

If the Visual KV Series basic unit will remain OFF for a long period of time, save the
data in the EEPROM.

➮

Refer to "LOAD mode and SAVE mode" (p.1-96).

• Data backup function with the EEPROM

Visual KV Series: 10 years or more at 25°C (77°F)
(available number of overwrites: 100,000 times or more)

2.1.4 Cautions on Wiring for Each Unit

CAUTION

This section describes cautions to keep in mind when wiring is performed for I/O
units.
Be sure to read this section before starting wiring.

Wiring procedures for basic units

2.1 Installation Environment

The wiring procedures for basic units are described below.

• Turn off the power before starting wiring.

• For the installation position, select a location whose ambient temperature
is 0 to +50°C, whose ambient humidity is 35 to 85% RH, and one which is
not subject to drastic temperature changes.

• If the 24 VDC + output terminal and the 24 VDC - output terminal are
switched, the power supply unit and connected units may be damaged.
Never switch them.

• Be sure that the sum of the current consumption of all connected units
does not exceed the output capacity of the service power supply. If the
system is operating in an overload status, the internal circuits may gener­ate heat or be damaged. To recover from an overload status, disconnect
some of the connected units.

• Never connect the DC output of any other power supply, either in serial or
parallel, to the 24 VDC output terminals. If the DC output is connected, the
power supply unit may be damaged.

■ Wiring for an AC type basic unit

For an AC type basic unit, perform the wiring as shown in the figure below.

Note: Connect the power supply to the power supply input terminals with 24 VDC
output, which offers a sufficient margin of power capacity. Usually, the sum of the
current consumption of all connected units multiplied by 1.5 or more is required for
the power capacity.

Cautions on wiring for I/O units

2

When performing wiring for an I/O unit, pay strict attention to the following contents.

• Separate input lines from output lines in wiring.

• If the wiring for power is located near I/O signal lines, a malfunction may occur
caused by the effects of a high voltage and large current.

• Keep I/O signal lines away from the power wiring by at least 100 mm.

• Separate 24 VDC I/O lines from 100 VAC and 200 VAC lines.

• When using pipes for wiring, make sure that the pipes are securely grounded.

■ When I/O signal lines cannot be separated from the wiring for power

In such a case, perform grounding on the KV side using batch-shielded cables.
(In some environments, grounding should be performed on the reverse side of the
KV.)

Cautions on grounding

Because the Visual KV Series is constructed to be sufficiently resistant to noise, it
can usually be used without being grounded. However, when the Visual KV Series is
used in an environment with a lot of noise, grounding is required. In such a case,
pay strict attention to the following contents.

• Perform complete grounding for each individual unit. In this case, the ground
resistance should be 100 Ω or less.

• If individual grounding is not possible, perform common grounding. In this case,
the length of each grounding cable should be equal.

2.1.5 Contact Protection

If inductive loads such as clutches, motors, and solenoids are used, a rush current
may flow when the load power supply is turned on, or a counter electromotive
voltage may be generated when the load power supply is shut down. The rush
current and the counter electromotive voltage can contribute considerably to
shortening the service life of the contacts. To prevent this from happening, provide a
contact protection circuit.

When the supply voltage is 24 to 48 V, provide a protection circuit in position "b".
When the supply voltage is 100 to 200 V, provide a protection circuit in position "a".

Note 1: Use a load coil whose rating is less than the contact capacity.
Note 2: Use a diode whose peak inverse voltage is 10 times or more the circuit

voltage and whose forward current is not less than the load current.
Note 3: Individually attach diodes, varistors, and CR circuits directly to the relay coil

terminal.

● When KV-E4XT/KV-E4XR expansion I/O units are connected

One I/O unit is regarded as two units (that is, one input and one output unit). For
example, when only expansion I/O units are connected to one basic unit, up to
four expansion I/O units can be connected. Up to three expansion I/O units can
be connected to a KV-40xx basic unit.

Note 1: There are no restrictions about the order of connected expansion units.
Note 2: When connecting expansion units to an AC power type basic unit, be sure

that the total current consumption of all connected units does not exceed the output
capacity of the Visual KV Series basic unit. Otherwise, consider to use a DC power
type basic unit in conbination with an external DC power supply having enough
capacity.
