ABB ICMK14N1 Remote I/O Module

• I/O Configuration:
  • Supports configurable binary inputs/outputs (e.g., XC32L1).
  • Supports analog inputs (e.g., XC32L2).
• Address Allocation:
  • Each XC32L1 extension reserves 2 address spaces (1 for input, 1 for output).
  • Each XC32L2 extension reserves 3 address spaces (1 for input, 1 for output, 1 for analog input).
• Central Unit Compatibility:
  • Works with AC31 central units (40/50 series).
  • Supports up to 15 address spaces for extensions on central units.
  • Supports up to 8 address spaces for extensions on CS31 extensible remote units.
  • Supports up to 10 address spaces for extensions on MODBUS® extensible remote units.
• Maximum Extensions:
  • Up to 6 XC32L1 or 5 XC32L2 extensions on central units (40/50 series).
  • Up to 3 XC32L1 or 1 XC32L2 extension on CS31 remote units (due to data exchange limitations).
  • Up to 5 XC32L1 or 3 XC32L2 extensions on MODBUS® remote units.

Functional Characteristics

• Flexible Configuration: All channels can be configured in different modes (binary or analog), adapting to diverse application requirements.
• Modular Design: Enables easy expansion and customization of I/O configurations, reducing system complexity and cost.
• High Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with ABB’s AC31 central units and extensible remote units, as well as MODBUS®-based systems.
