Linear array actuator controller KCA020

The Kinitics KCA020 Controller simplifies using Kinitics AC Linear Actuators and Piston Pumps by interfacing easily with PLC’s, control switches, relays, and standard I/O cards. Closed- and open-loop control using one or several inputs allows for a high degree of accuracy and repeatability while maintaining the actuator within recommended safety limits. • Single-phase 120 VAC input • Compact size, DIN rail mounting • Internal temperature protection; fault notification • Discrete I/O allows for multiple control strategies Discrete Inputs: • Enable: Driving of the actuator is conditional on the presence of a signal at the Enable discrete input. • Single: The actuator will stroke from its present position to its End of Travel position limit, triggered by the End of Travel switch input. • Pulse: The actuator will stroke from its present position to its End of Travel position limit, triggered by the End of Travel switch input. Once the actuator relaxes to its home position, as indicated by the Home switch, the controller will automatically initiate another stroke to End of Travel. The controller will continue in this manner provided the Pulse signal is maintained. A low-voltage, 200 Hz PWM signal can also be used at the Pulse input for complex control.
