Replacement of MCX15B-20B with MCX15B2-20B2 through wiring kit
You can replace MCX15/20B with an equivalent model of MCX15/20B2. The same application software runs on both versions
without any change
and the universal power supply (24 V AC - 110 V AC - 230 VAC) of MCX15/20B2 facilitates the selection of the
equivalent model.
But there are the following differences that must be taken into consideration:
• The pinout is slightly different for some of the Input/Output (see below the suggested connection diagram)
• The NC (Normally Closed) signals for relay DO10, DO11, DO12 and DO13 are not available in MCX15/20B2. But they are
available for DO14 (as in MCX15B) (and for DO15 as in MCX15/20B). An external relay must be used if these signals are needed.
Alternatively, the application can be changed to take advantage of the additional NC14 signal of MCX20B2.
• The Analogue Outputs (AO) in MCX15/20B2 are internally powered, therefore you must not connect the L1 signal
• 24 V DC power supply is not supported by MCX15/20B2 (40 – 230 V DC)
• The Digital Inputs are both contact free and 24 V sensing in MCX15/20B2, but the DI common signals (DIC) in MCX15/20B2 are
internally connected, therefore you must ensure that DIC are connected to the same phase before the replacement.
For facilitating the replacement of MCX15/20B with B2, you can build a wiring kit following these instructions:
