Simple Configuration With Compact PLCs, Plus Fast Programming.

SUPER COMPACT

Small enough to fit just about anywhere. The KV series is designed to fit in your control panel, saving space and money.

FAST RESPONSE

The KV series can receive input pulses as short as 25 s, enabling direct connection to sensors and eliminating the need for a high-speed interface. A pair of 10 KHz counters are also built-in.

Simulate Without PLC

Our new Desktop simulator lets you simulate a program in operation before you connect your PLC.

Ladder Builder for KV ensures fast, easy programming and efficient desktop debugging

EDITOR

Easy Editing Using Windows Functions
Instruction selection window The user-friendly design allows data entry from a keyboard or a mouse. You can select and specify a device or command from a list provided by device type. This ensures error-free entry of target symbols. For fast programming, you can also enter the symbol directly by typing the command from the keyboard.
Usage list When creating Ladder diagrams, it can be difficult to keep track of addresses already used. The usage list displays which ones are used/available.
UNDO function The Ladder Builder for KV enables efficient editing. If you accidentally delete an instruction, you can undo the action simply by clicking the Undo button. The Redo button cancels Undo.

Auto-save function The Ladder Builder for KV automatically backs up your program at predetermined intervals. This protects your data from being lost due to a PC power loss or system crash.
Multi-file editing Multiple files can be edited simultaneously on the Ladder Builder for KV. You can freely cut and paste from one file to another.

SIMULATOR

Quick debugging without a PLC
Even without a PLC connected, the Ladder Builder for KV can simulate program execution. The execution can be checked without transferring the program to the PLC. By providing a single step execution function (forward or reverse) in addition to a regular scan execution function, debugging efficiency will be increased.
Forward/reverse single step execution You can easily find a problem in complex operations by checking the operation process by one step at a time.
Ladder Simulator enables direct checking of the ladder diagram execution By clicking an element in the ladder diagram, the simulator screen quickly appears which allows element setting/ resetting.
Monitor All Function Timers, counters and data memories can be checked simultaneously in multiple windows. For effective debugging, you can check devices at one time, which dont directly appear in the ladder diagram.
Registration Monitor The Ladder Builder for KV can display multiple timing charts of any devices simultaneously. This enables convenient checking of all element on/off timing.

MONITOR

Real time monitoring without stopping the machine
Ladder diagram and element on/off stands can be monitored real time. Timing charts can be monitored simultaneously.
Super Small And Fast PLC Full Of User-friendly Designs

Compact

The KV-10 (with 10 I/O) is about the same size as two general purpose relays. The KV-80 (with 80 I/O) is as small as a VHS videotape. KV series PLCs require minimal space on a control panel.

High-speed Operation

The KV series can receive an input as short as 25 s, enabling direct connection to sensors and eliminating the need for high-speed interfacing.

COUNTERS

The KV high speed counters count pulses as fast as 10kHz. They can count high-speed pulses without any delay from scan time. Four counter comparators provide control of both X-and Y-axes.

INTERRUPTS

The KV Series provides four interrupt inputs. Interrupts can be executed within program routines in real-time without any scan time delay. The KV Series also gives you immediate on/off status.

PULSE ACQUISITION

Very small objects or objects traveling at high speeds can be detected by the KV Series without the need for a high-speed interface. The KV Series can receive input pulses as short as 25 s (HSP instruction).
