An N-type CPU unit provides six high-speed counters, two at 100 kHz and four at 10 kHz, as well as two 100 kHz pulse outputs (available soon). RS-232C or RS-442/485 communications ports can also be added to N-type CPU units with 30 or 40 I/O points to connect components, such as inverters. N-type CPU units have a built-in RS-232C port for connection to programmable terminals and other devices. Keyboard operations can be reduced to 30% compared with previous OMRON products by simplifying the programming process using the Smart Input function. To correct the program when instructions are added or deleted, lines are automatically added by the automatic line creation function. Smart Inputs with the CX-Programmer for CP1E (CP1E Programming Device)Īssisted input for instructions and addresses provides candidates when the first letter is input.They also make it easy to check the wiring status when making adjustments during system installation. Indicators that show the ON/OFF status of I/O terminals are arranged at the terminal wiring positions to make it easy to see the relation between ON/OFF status controlled by the CP1E and the connected devices. I/O Indicators to Check ON/OFF Status at a Glance.By also using a relay cable, it is easy to connect to the programming device without connecting to a computer. Ease of UseĬP1E CPU units can be connected to a computer using a commercially available USB cable. Price reduction is realized by revising the cost of components without sacrificing quality.
The CP1E CPU units are the answer to the most essential demand for micro PLCs: price reduction.
The N-type CPU units can control compact devices efficiently.
There are two types of CPU units: the low-cost, minimal functionality E-type basic CPU units, and the N-type application CPU units, which incorporate a serial port for connection with programmable terminals and a pulse I/O function for position control. The CP1E CPU units also respond to this demand by featuring simplified programming and wiring verification. Manufacturers that produce compact equipment place importance on keeping manufacturing costs down without spending an excessive amount of time on design and system implementation. The CP1E CPU units released today can be used to build low-cost micro PLCs that respond to these demands. This represents a major demand for price reduction. There are also many manufacturers that give greater priority to cost efficiency and want to achieve the same functionality while reducing materials costs. Since 2006, CPU units for advanced micro PLCs, the CP1H CPU units and CP1L CPU units, have been added to the CP series. In recent years, there has been increased demand for more advanced functionality, even in micro PLCs with approximately 10 to 200 I/O points for use in small-scale control applications. (Please contact your local representative for availability.) Sales of the new CPU units, which were developed around the concept of "economy, efficiency and ease of use," will begin in April.
Kyoto, Japan - OMRON Corporation (TOKYO: 6645, ADR: OMRNY) today announced the release of CP1E CPU units, the latest addition to its SYSMAC CP series of micro programmable controllers.
