Pepperl Fuchs IC-KP-B17-AIDA1 Control Interface Unit P/N 213244 Ident Control 3

The IC-KP-B17-AIDA1 from Pepperl+Fuchs

 (Part No. 213244) is part of the IDENTControl series — a modular evaluation/control interface designed for real-time integration of read/write heads or trigger sensors and high-level communication networks. It is engineered for use in industrial identification applications (RFID, asset tracking, automation) where connectivity to Ethernet/fieldbus systems (TCP/IP, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, MODBUS TCP) is necessary.

Key Features:

• Supports up to 4 read/write heads, or alternatively 2 read/write heads + 2 trigger sensors. Pepperl+Fuchs Document Server+1

• Communication protocols: TCP/IP, MODBUS TCP, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET IO. Pepperl+Fuchs+1

• Connectors per AIDA specification for heads, power, sensors. Kempston Controls+1

• Two-port integrated switch for Ethernet line topology (10/100 Mbit). Santa Clara Systems+1

• Compact housing: L-shaped, fits 120 mm switch-cabinet grid, mounting depth ~70 mm. PLC Trade+1

• Rated operating voltage: 20 … 30 V DC (PELV) for supply. Pepperl+Fuchs+1

• UL File Number E87056, MTBF ~55 years @ +40 °C. Pepperl+Fuchs

Typical Applications:

• Automated identification systems (e.g., RFID station networks)

• Production lines requiring asset tracking or write/read head monitoring

• Integration into PROFINET/EtherNet/IP controlled environments for read/write head data aggregation

• Trigger sensor interfacing and multiplexing of identification channels

Installation & Commissioning Notes:

• Mount on DIN-rail or in switch cabinet via snap-fits. Ensure adequate ventilation and clearance. PLC Trade

• Connect power (20–30 V DC) and earth connector; use shielded network cable (Cat5 or above) for Ethernet. Pepperl+Fuchs Document Server

• Configure network parameters (IP address, subnet mask) – if no DHCP, set static IP. ManualsLib

• Load GSDML file if using PROFINET; integrate device as I/O device in controller. Pepperl+Fuchs Document Server

• Connect read/write heads and/or trigger sensors as per channel configuration; LEDs provide status for heads/channels. ManualsLib

Procurement & Compatibility Considerations:

• Ensure part number matches exactly: “IC-KP-B17-AIDA1” (REV may matter).

• Confirm firmware version if replacing older unit.

• Confirm that connected read/write heads and sensors are compatible (reference manual for head types).

• Check that the selected communication protocol (PROFINET, MODBUS etc.) is supported in your system’s controller.

• Note: Some listings show used/refurbished condition.
