Product Overview

IAI PCON-C-56PI-NP-2-0 is a discontinued single-axis position controller configured for an IAI actuator in the 56P incremental motor class. Its model code identifies the PCON-C positioner with an internal drive-power cutoff relay, NPN sink I/O, a 2 m I/O flat cable specification, and 24 VDC power.

The 56PI code is the defining product difference on this page. It identifies the actuator and encoder class expected by the controller and must match the installed axis.

Main Features

• Dedicated one-axis control for a compatible 56P incremental actuator
• 64 standard position records with extended PIO patterns up to 512 positions
• Independent speed, acceleration, deceleration, and positioning settings
• NPN sink 24 VDC I/O for PLC command and status exchange
• RS485 communication for setup, monitoring, and supported Modbus functions

Technical Specifications

Compatible System and Applications

Typical installed uses include material-transfer axes, component loading, packaging machinery, automated assembly, and positioning equipment using a compatible 56P IAI actuator. Application suitability cannot be determined from the controller alone because stroke, lead, payload, speed, brake, and mechanical configuration belong to the connected actuator.

Maintenance and Replacement Notes

Do not substitute a 42PI or another PCON-C motor class because the enclosure and connector arrangement look similar. Verify the complete actuator model, 56PI code, I/O polarity, motor and encoder cables, brake wiring, PIO pattern, and saved parameters. IAI lists PCON-CB as the successor family, but parameter files, teaching tools, power and emergency-stop connections, and controller-side cables require conversion checks.

Inquiry and Supply Notes

Provide the controller and actuator nameplates, installed cable numbers, machine application, parameter-backup status, and required quantity. The offered condition, included accessories, and functional test scope should be stated clearly in the quotation.
