2.2 Connection with the KV Series
This section describes how to connect the KV-D20 with the KV Series.
Connection
Precautions
• Connecting/disconnecting the modular cable can be done at any time regard-
less of whether the KV unit is turned on or off.
• Both communication ports A and B can be used to connect the KV-D20. How-
ever, do not connect two KV-D20s at the same time.
• When connecting the KV-P3E(01) handheld programmer to a KV Series that is
already connected to the KV-D20, set the mode selector switch of the KV-
P3E(01) to "PROGRAM" before connecting it. Do not connect the KV-P3E(01)
to the KV series together with the KV-D20 for a long period of time.
• Never tie the modular cable together with or route it close to strong elec-
trical lines or output lines. This will cause damage to the KV-D20.
• Prevent a strong force from being applied to the modular cable.
• Be sure to use the modular cable specified by KEYENCE (OP-26487,
supplied with the KV-D20). Use of an unspecified cable may cause mal-
functions.
• The modular cable cannot be extended.
Insert the other end of the modular
cable to the communication port at
the rear of the KV-D20.
Modular cable (2.5 m)
Open the connector
cover of the KV basic
unit and connect the
modular connector
supplied with the KV-
D20. (Either communi-
cation port A or B can
be used.)
