The Danfoss 080Z0061 (Model AK-CM 101A) is a dedicated communications module designed for seamless integration of AK-XM extension modules into a centralized Danfoss ADAP-KOOL refrigeration control system. Built for reliability in commercial environments, this module utilizes the LON TP78 communication protocol to bridge up to nine I/O expansion units with a system manager like the AK-SM 800 series. For field technicians, the 080Z0061 simplifies network architecture by providing a stable interface for additional inputs and outputs, ensuring precise data transmission across the control string. The unit features three rotary switches for manual address configuration (1-99) and operates on a versatile 24V AC or 18-36V DC power supply. Its compact DIN-rail mountable design and IP20 rating make it an essential component for scaling hardware in supermarket and cold storage applications where high-density monitoring is required. Key Benefits Expanded I/O Capacity: Enables the connection of up to 9 extension modules per single communications module. Protocol Standard: Utilizes LON TP78 (Twisted Pair 78kbps) for robust, interference-resistant data communication. Simplified Addressing: Field-adjustable rotary switches allow for quick manual addressing without complex software tools. Flexible Power Integration: Compatible with both 24V AC and 18-36V DC power sources to fit existing control cabinet setups. Industry Compliance: Meets CE, C-TICK, and UR approvals for global HVACR control system standards. Common Questions What is the difference between the AK-CM 101A and 101C models? The Danfoss 080Z0061 (101A) uses LON TP78 communication, whereas the 101C variant (080Z0063) is designed for LON RS485 networks. Can I share a 24V power supply between multiple modules? Yes, but ensure the supply provides sufficient amperage for the entire line-up. If sharing inputs/outputs between different line-ups, separate power supplies should be used to maintain galvanic isolation and prevent ground loops. Does this module require a specific mounting orientation? The unit is designed for standard DIN-rail mounting and should be installed in an enclosure that protects the IP20-rated housing from moisture and debris. This item is not eligible for free shipping.
