FAQ

Q1: Why are there two part numbers listed (14.F4.182-G438 and 11.F4.073-0009)?

A1: The first part number (11.F4.073-0009) refers to the base hardware, while the second (14.F4.182-G438) indicates a firmware/feature upgrade for specialized functionality.

Q2: Do I need to reprogram when replacing this PLC/DCS module?

A2: Yes, backup and transfer the application program and drive parameters using KEB's COMBIVIS software.

Q3: What's the difference between PLC and DCS functionality on this module?

A3: PLC handles fast, deterministic machine logic, while DCS manages slower, supervisory data exchange and centralized reporting.

Q4: Where can I find wiring diagrams for the terminal blocks?

A4: Wiring diagrams are available in the KEB F4 series drive manual, specifically in the control signal connection section.
