INTRODUCTION
N20K48 Modular Controller
brings a new concept of modularity to panel instrumentation.
Traditionally, manufacturers of electronic instrumentation have a wide range of controllers. Each model presents different functionalities, designed to
meet the specific requirements of each installation. In the modularity concept applied to
N20K48 Modular Controller
, this is provided in a single
controller, which already has a minimum set of features and a basic configuration that can meet several applications.
In addition, you can attach ClickNGo electronic modules, which provide resources such as analog inputs and outputs, digital inputs and outputs, and
RS485 communication to the device. The attached modules will be automatically recognized by the controller, which will display the parameters to
set the available resources. All modules come with the terminals for electrical connections.
You must use the dock accessory (plastic adapter) to attach the modules to the controller in an easy and quick way. No screws are required.
N20K48 Modular Controller
, dock, and ClickNGo modules are separate products and must be ordered individually.
The image below shows the elements available in the modularity model adopted by
N20K48 Modular Controller

CONTROLLER
N20K48 Modular Controller
is a complete and autonomous device. It can control several processes. You can expand its capabilities by attaching
ClickNGo electronic modules, which allow it to meet more complex applications.
The device has the following features:
•
1 Universal analog input channel (INPUT)
•
1 Voltage pulse output channel (OUT.A)
•
1 Relay output channel (OUT.B)
•
Power supply circuit (POWER)
•
HMI with LCD display and keyboard
•
Main CPU
•
1 USB port
Device overview
The device has 2 models, differing in relation to the power supply voltage:
•
100~240 Vac/dc power supply model
•
24 Vdc/ac power supply model
You can insert up to 8 ClickNGo modules in your
N20K48 Modular Controller
. The added module will be automatically identified by the controller.
The parameters to configure each module will be displayed in the controller configuration cycles (see
section).
