Implementing 3-Switch XOR Ladder Logic with Internal Bit
Implement a 3-SPST switch XOR light circuit in LogixPro or RSLogix 500 using an internal relay bit. Includes truth tables, boolean equations, and verified.
The ABB NDCU-12K 64649604A is a drive control unit used in compatible ABB variable-speed drive systems.
The unit combines NIOC-02 I/O interface hardware with NAMC-11 control hardware. Its front panel provides analog and digital I/O, relay outputs, RS-485 interfaces, DDCS communication channels, and 24 VDC connections.
The NIOC-02 section provides three analog input channels and two analog output channels. Six digital inputs and three relay outputs are also available for drive control and external signaling.
Multiple DDCS channels provide interfaces for application control, drive I/O, master-follower functions, and PC communication. Separate connections are provided for inverter and braking chopper communication.
The NDCU-12K should be replaced by matching the complete NDCU-12K / 64649604A identification together with the installed control and communication configuration.

Record all X21, X22, X23-X29, X14, and X19 connections before removal.
Record all DDCS fiber connections and channel assignments.
Isolate the drive and verify the 24 VDC control supply is removed before servicing.
Preserve relay and digital-input wiring assignments during replacement.
Confirm any installed NDCO communication option separately.
Verify drive I/O, DDCS communication, control panel communication, and relay functions after installation.
Match the complete NDCU-12K 64649604A identification.
Do not interpret “12K” as a 12 kW power rating.
Do not apply complete-drive input or output voltage ratings to this control unit.
Verify NIOC, NAMC, and optional NDCO hardware before substitution.
Preserve DDCS channel assignments and drive parameters during replacement.
