  KC868-COLB-Mini MQTT Input Module released
Posted by: admin - 06-30-2021, 01:25 AM - Forum: News - No Replies

We have designed Mini version for KC868-COLB. it have 8 digital input ports and 8 analog input ports, all functions as same as KC868-COLB. KC868-COLB-Mini is smaller than KC868-COLB, it can save your power distribution box space. also support install the PCB on the DIN rail without metal box.

  RC snubber
Posted by: eladn - 06-30-2021, 01:02 AM - Forum: KC868-HxB series Smart Controller - No Replies

1. You recommend using an RC snubber for contactors. However, the contactors you usually use are operated with AC voltage. Is it recommended to use an RC snubber for 12V DC contactors as well? Or is it relevant for AC only?
2. What does the RC snubber actually protect? Is it the circuit that feeds the control voltage to the contactor, or the output load consumers? Or both?
3. I couldn't find on the market contactors with built-in RC snubber as you sell. It is never mentioned. Even with big companies like ABB. Why is that? Is it your own idea to insert the snubber inside the module? Or maybe they put it and just don't mention it?

Thanks a lot,
Elad

  Recommended 12V DC controlled contactor
Posted by: eladn - 06-30-2021, 12:54 AM - Forum: KC868-HxB series Smart Controller - Replies (5)

The contactors sold at Kincony's store are operated with 230V AC.
1. Can you recommend other contactors that use 12V DC for operation?
2. Are there any downsides for using 12V DC contactors instead of 230V AC ones?

Thanks,
Elad

Is it possible to work with more than one DS18B20 in the same channel of the COL-B?

I would like to monitor more than 5 temperature points...

I would like to use COL to set a time function + a light sensor. i have already wired everything, but i can't program how i want: i would like it from 22 to 7 every day, if DI4 = 1, then k27 on for 10 seconds. I don't find the specific way to set the function from 10pm to 7am thank you

  NTC Thermistor with KC868-COLB
Posted by: ahcdias - 06-23-2021, 02:13 AM - Forum: KC868-HxB series Smart Controller - Replies (3)

I'm testing a NTC Thermistor with analog input of COLB.
An NTC 103AT in series with a 10k resistor.
Both connected to +5V and input A1.

The voltage measured at input A1 is different from the calculated one (VA1 = 10k x 5/(RThermistor + 10k).
It seems that the A1 input impedance is low and influences the circuit.
Can you help me with that?


Thanks!
