K6-Series PLC User Manual 2.3.17 K680 The K6 series expansion power supply module is referred to as PS680, and the specific model number is: Kinco-K680.This module's function is to provide +5V operating power and +24V drive power to the expansion modules via the expansion bus. When designing a PLC system, users should ensure that the expansion power capacity provided by the CPU can meet the total power consumption of the target system.
5 Assembly Guidelines 5.1 Connection of CPU and Modules The K6 series products are connected with a special flat flexible cable. In actual connections, the CPU module is always arranged on the far left. The expansion bus cable is led out from the CPU's expansion interface and connected to the expansion modules successively from left to right.
K6-Series PLC User Manual communication. 5.2 Assembly of BD Expansion Module The CPU module provides 1-2 BD expansion slots (CPU K606 supports 1 slot, CPU K606EA and CPU K608 support 2 slots), with each slot having a unique position number. From left to right, they are labeled as BD0 and BD1, as shown in the diagram below.
