Technical Specifications
The 07 KT 96 packs a powerful feature set into a compact basic unit. Here are the key parameters that matter on the plant floor:
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Digital Inputs | 24 |
| Digital Outputs | 16 |
| Analog Inputs | None |
| Analog Outputs | None |
| Program Memory | 480 kByte Flash EPROM and RAM |
| Data Memory | 8192 bits, 8192 words (16 bit), 1024 double words (32 bit) |
| Cycle Time | 0.22 ms for 1 Kbyte (65% binary, 35% words) |
| Communication | CS 31 Field bus |
| Fast Counters | 1 to 2 (max. 50 kHz) |
| Mounting | DIN rail or panel |
This controller handles 24 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs natively, with terminals 20 to 27 assigned to E 63,00 to E 63,07. The 480 kByte program memory supports complex logic, while the 0.22 ms cycle time ensures responsive control. The CS 31 Field bus provides reliable communication with other system components.
Maintenance and Reliability
From a maintenance engineer’s perspective, the 07 KT 96 is built for ease of service. The withdrawable terminal blocks with screw terminals allow quick module replacement without rewiring the entire panel. The exchangeable battery for data buffering is a smart design—when the battery ages, you simply swap it out, preserving your program and data. The real-time clock keeps timestamps accurate for diagnostics.
For reliability, inspect the unit periodically for dust buildup and secure connections. The password protection prevents unauthorized program changes, which is crucial in regulated environments. With a mean time between failures that’s typical of ABB’s Advant series, this controller delivers dependable performance. If you need spares when you need them, Oil AutoTech offers fast dispatch, worldwide.
Integration and Compatibility
The 07 KT 96 integrates seamlessly into existing Advant systems via the CS 31 Field bus. It supports MODBUS protocols, PI and PID controllers, and ASCII communication, making it versatile for various automation architectures. The programming system 907AC1131 allows cyclic and time-controlled multitasking with up to 20 tasks. For fieldbus integration, note that wiring into CS 31 networks may require specific cables or connection modules—confirm with your supplier.
