Frequently Asked Questions
How many selectable positions does A6C-16R(N) provide, and what encoding does it use for address setting?
The A6C-16R(N) provides 16 selectable positions (0 through 15) encoded in hexadecimal BCD output, making it ideal for setting device node addresses or configuration modes in industrial networks and embedded controllers. The 4-bit output maps each position to a unique binary code from 0000 to 1111.
For a PLC I/O module requiring field-adjustable node addressing, how does the A6C-16R(N) simplify configuration?
Engineers can set node addresses from 0 to 15 using a standard screwdriver on the flush rotary actuator of the A6C-16R(N), eliminating the need for DIP switches with multiple independent bits. The 16-position rotary format reduces configuration errors and allows address changes in the field with a 2.54 mm pitch through-hole footprint compatible with standard PCB designs.
What are the PCB mounting requirements for A6C-16R(N) and how does it compare to surface mount rotary switches?
The A6C-16R(N) uses a through-hole DIP mounting style with 2.54 mm pitch, requiring drilled PCB holes and wave soldering, which provides stronger mechanical anchoring compared to SMT rotary switches. This makes it preferred for control panels subject to vibration, though it requires more PCB board space than equivalent 1.27 mm pitch SMT alternatives with 16 positions.
