Cross-brand candidate review
Candidate replacements for legacy PLC, VFD and HMI systems — subject to engineering review.
/ Cross-reference preview
Every cross-reference is a candidate that requires review
All entries are candidate replacements subject to engineering review. Mechanical fit, EMC, certification and program logic remain the integrator's responsibility.
Subject to review means the proposed candidate requires validation against the exact application, wiring, protocol and safety scope.
| Legacy part | Candidate replacement | Status | Engineering note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mitsubishi FR-E720-7.5K | Kemron KV4800 series | Subject to review | Candidate only; current, control mode, I/O and braking requirements must be validated. |
| Siemens S7-1200 compact PLC | Kinco AK840-0808DTN | Subject to review | Program, I/O count, network protocol, safety scope and wiring require engineering review. |

Who we are, what we do, where we work
Solutions, supply and service
Application review, solution design, stocked core HMI and PLC lines — per-SKU availability confirmed at RFQ — and engineering support from BOM review through commissioning.
Shenzhen to worldwide
Headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. We support customers worldwide through partner manufacturer networks. Documentation and customer service are provided in English and Chinese.
Automation Liberty is an independent engineering and sourcing partner for industrial automation. We design multi-brand control solutions — Kinco, Kemron, USR IoT and 3onedata — across 9 application domains, from AGV motion stacks to packaging lines. Cross-references for Siemens or Mitsubishi parts are candidate replacements, subject to engineering review. Explore solutions by application →

/ Process
From BOM to supported supply
01
Submit BOM
Send your application, existing model numbers, voltage, I/O count, and protocol. Wiring diagrams or cabinet photos help.
02
Engineering review
We cross-reference candidates, map I/O, and flag migration risk before a quotation is confirmed.
03
Bench validation
Candidate parts are checked against spec and, where scoped, bench-verified before we confirm the BOM.
04
Supply & support
Stock check, quote, datasheets, and remote commissioning guidance — from procurement through startup.

Deployments by application
Fielded on Kinco-supplied motion systems — we supply and engineering-support the same modules. Figures are Kinco’s published deck numbers.
Heavy-load AGV drive (50 kg–2 T)
−35% installation space, integrated wheel (per Kinco)
iWMC integrated servo wheels fuse drive, motor, reducer and wheel; a 400 mm wheel-base enables a low-profile 4 m/s latent AMR — a design the split-servo layout could not reach.
Kinco's iWMC integrated servo wheel fuses drive, motor, reducer and wheel into one walking module, cutting installation space by 35% versus a discrete split-servo layout and lowering whole-machine development TCO (per Kinco's 2026 mobile-handling brief), with 3× overload capacity built on low temperature rise. In the 50 kg high-speed low-profile underlift AMR, a 400 mm wheel installation distance supports a 4 m/s running speed. The servo-wheel family spans 50 kg–2 T, and the 600 kg–2 T class carries CE, UL, STO and dual-encoder. Automation Liberty supplies and engineering-supports the same iWMC modules.

Unmanned forklift steering retrofit
Homing-free absolute encoder, no power-loss re-home (per Kinco)
Absolute-value encoders remove the power-loss homing cycle; the G2100H-CTP 10.1″ vibration-rated display survives the forklift environment — retrofit onto existing steering without a re-home routine.
For unmanned forklifts, Kinco's intelligent steering system uses an absolute-value integrated servo motor that needs no re-homing after power loss, paired with a 10.1-inch display to show operating status. The companion iSMD integrated servo motor (DC 24–60 V; Modbus, CANopen, EtherCAT and ProfiNet; CE and UL, STO to SIL3/Cat.3/PLe) likewise runs a multi-turn absolute encoder with no homing after power failure, and the dedicated forklift HMI is the G2100H-CTP 10.1-inch capacitive display. Automation Liberty supplies and engineering-supports the same modules.

Cold-storage shuttle system
1.35M cycles fork-motor life; AK810 52 mm; −25°C (per Kinco)
The AK810 52 mm low-profile controller runs at −25°C; the fork motor is rated to 1.35 million cycles — engineered for continuous cold-storage shuttle duty.
For cold-storage shuttle systems, Kinco's flat-type AK810 low-profile controller (CoDeSys platform, 52 mm overall height) suits the low installation space of shuttle vehicles; the integrated drive-motor products offer optional 200 W–1 kW power ratings and the servo system operates at −25 °C for low-temperature cold storage, with complete CE/UL/STO certification. The carton-fork integrated motor uses an absolute-value design rated to a 1.35-million-cycle mechanical service life with standard Modbus cascade control. Automation Liberty supplies and engineering-supports the same modules.

/ FAQ
Common questions
What is a candidate replacement for a Siemens S7-1200 PLC?
We cross-reference the Siemens S7-1200 to candidate Kinco PLCs such as the AK series by I/O count, communication protocol, and control logic. Any candidate replacement is subject to engineering review — no one-to-one equivalence is claimed until validated against your application.
Can Kinco PLCs replace Mitsubishi FX series controllers?
In many cases a Kinco AK-series PLC can be proposed as a candidate replacement for a Mitsubishi FX controller. Program logic must be re-implemented and wiring re-verified. We provide I/O mapping and migration notes during RFQ; final compatibility is confirmed by engineering review.
How fast can you ship servo drives and PLCs from Shenzhen?
Lead time depends on model, quantity and destination, and is confirmed during the RFQ process — we do not publish stock counts or fixed ship dates.
Do your products carry CE and UL certification?
Certification depends on the exact model and product series. Many Kinco, Kemron, USR, and 3onedata products carry CE or UL marks. We provide available datasheets and certification documents at RFQ; generic whole-solution certification claims are not made.
What does no vendor lock-in mean for my automation project?
No lock-in means we evaluate multiple independent product lines — Kinco, Kemron, USR, 3onedata — and do not force a single-vendor ecosystem when a practical multi-brand BOM meets your application requirements.
What does Kinco NOT replace?
Kinco does not compete with Siemens S7-1500 high-end motion, Sysmac NX/NJ multi-axis EtherCAT, or Allen-Bradley ControlLogix-class systems. Cross-reference status labels include "Manual engineering" when a clean replacement is not available — we will not invent a candidate to win an RFQ.
How is pricing determined?
We do not publish list prices because every quote follows an engineering review of your application — I/O count, protocol, certification scope and quantity all affect the right part and price. You receive a scoped quotation rather than an unverified catalog number.
What we are
An independent multi-brand sourcing and engineering partner. We evaluate multiple product lines — Kinco, Kemron, USR, 3onedata — and provide cross-reference research, I/O mapping, BOM selection, stock and lead-time checks, and remote commissioning guidance. No lock-in means we do not force a single-vendor ecosystem when a practical multi-brand BOM meets the application.
What we are not
Independent of Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, and Schneider, with no affiliation or appointment by those brands. No universal one-to-one replacement is assumed — every candidate replacement must be verified by I/O count, voltage, communication protocol, software logic, safety requirements, and commissioning scope, and remains subject to engineering review.
