Micro Direct Drive Motor with Keyence PLC

This section introduces how to connect with the KEYENCE PLC “KV-8000” series.

Compatible MTL Drivers

MC-200-7220A: I/O Interface Type

Pulse-train connection is supported, and command inputs can be provided via a high-speed positioning unit.
If you need to capture encoder signals or motor current values, a high-speed counter unit or a communication unit is additionally required.

PLC Units (Position Control)

High-Speed Positioning Unit

Model: KV-SH04PL

Sends pulse commands to the driver.

High-Speed Counter Unit

Model: KV-SSC02

Used when the motor you are using is equipped with an incremental encoder.
Receives encoder signals.
If encoder counting on the PLC side is not required, this unit is not mandatory.

Serial Communication Unit

Model: KV-XL402

Used when the motor you are using is equipped with an absolute encoder.
Receives encoder signals.
If encoder counting on the PLC side is not required, this unit is not mandatory.

Wiring Example

*Please confirm the wiring for the high-speed counter unit you are using.
