Product overview
This page uses LK3U-20-4AD-2DA as a selection label for the LK3U-20 size family with the manufacturer table’s 4 AD / 2 DA column. The manufacturer publishes the order rows as LK3U-20MR, LK3U-20MT and LK3U-20MRT; it does not publish this complete page label as one order code. The web table lists 12 digital inputs and 8 outputs. MR supplies eight relay outputs and no high-speed output; MT supplies eight transistor outputs with four high-speed channels; MRT combines four relay and four transistor outputs with four high-speed channels. The official sources disagree on enclosure dimensions: the web table states 117×125×56 mm, while the manual shell table states 117×108.6×65 mm. Confirm the physical revision and complete output suffix before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
How many servo axes can the LK3U-20-4AD-2DA control via pulse output?
The published LK3U-20 MT and MRT rows provide four high-speed transistor outputs, while MR provides none. The shared manual rates Y0–Y3 up to 200 kHz; confirm the complete installed suffix before treating those channels as available.
What is the difference between the LK3U-20-4AD-2DA and adjacent models in the LK3U series?
Adjacent models in the LK3U series differ primarily in I/O point count and analog input channels. The suffix convention (e.g. 14-4AD-2DA) indicates total I/O points, analog input channels, and analog output channels. Choose the model with sufficient I/O and analog capacity for your application.
What programming software is used with the LK3U-20-4AD-2DA?
All LK PLC series use GX Developer or GX WORKS2 programming software. The connection is via RS232 serial port (or USB-to-RS232 adapter).
