Product overview

The LK3U-48-10AD-2DA is a plc model in the LK3U Series, offering 24/24 (48 pt) with 24/24 (48 pt) analog inputs and 24/24 (48 pt) pulse output capability. LK3U is the flagship compact PLC series with 3 communication ports, 6+2 high-speed pulse outputs, and 4–10 analog inputs.

As part of the LK3U Series, this model shares the series' core platform — DC24V power, IP65 protection, and GX Developer / GX WORKS2 programming environment. Output types include MR (relay), MT (transistor), and MRT (mixed) where indicated.

Compared to other models in the LK3U Series, the LK3U-48-10AD-2DA sits between the LK3U-14-4AD-2DA (lower I/O count) and the LK3U-80-10AD-2DA (higher I/O count). For projects with fewer I/O points, a smaller model may reduce cost; for projects expected to scale, a larger model provides headroom without CPU replacement.

Features

  • 24/24 (48 pt) high-speed pulse outputs for multi-axis motion
  • 3 independent communication ports for HMI, VFD, and instrument networking
  • 24/24 (48 pt) analog input channels (0-10V / 0-20mA / NTC10/50K) for process sensing

Applications

  • Packaging equipment (sealing, cutting, labeling)
  • Multi-axis motion and servo/stepper positioning
  • Water and fluid treatment systems
  • Retrofit and replacement projects

Selection notes

  • Confirm total I/O points (DI + DO) and required output type (MR / MT / MRT).
  • MT or MRT output type required for pulse output — MR type has no high-speed output.
  • NCAN and ECAN are mutually exclusive — choose one per CPU.
  • Check cabinet depth: LK3U is 56 mm deep.

Frequently asked questions

How many servo axes can the LK3U-48-10AD-2DA control via pulse output?

The LK3U series provides 6×200KHz + 2×100KHz high-speed pulse output channels, supporting up to 8 independent motion axes. MT or MRT output type is required — MR type cannot generate high-speed pulses.

What is the difference between the LK3U-48-10AD-2DA and adjacent models in the LK3U series?

Adjacent models in the LK3U series differ primarily in I/O point count and analog input channels. The suffix convention (e.g. 14-4AD-2DA) indicates total I/O points, analog input channels, and analog output channels. Choose the model with sufficient I/O and analog capacity for your application.

What programming software is used with the LK3U-48-10AD-2DA?

All LK PLC series use GX Developer or GX WORKS2 programming software. The connection is via RS232 serial port (or USB-to-RS232 adapter).
