Omron: Rack PLC - Up to 5,000 I/Os (CS1G/H Series)
Suitable for any job: the rack-based PLC with over 200 types of I/O units
CS1 is Omron's most extensive PLC family, with a maximum capacity of 5120 'local' digital I/Os. Up to 7 expansion racks can be connected to a single CPU rack, bringing the maximum number of I/O units to 80. Any combination from over 200 models of digital I/Os, analog I/Os, control units and communication units can be mounted in any order. The huge instruction set and function block library allow you to write very compact programs, using any mix of IEC 61131-3 Structured Text and ladder language.
Fast CPUs with large program capacity
Extensive choice of special function units for motion- and temperature control, and special communication processing
IEC 61131-3 Structured Text programming, extensive function block libraries
CompactFlash memory card slot for data storage and program exchange
Easy migration from C200H systems; re-use your existing I/Os
Fast and powerful CPUs for any task
Omron's CS1-series CPUs are available in two processor speeds, each in various memory capacities. Besides the basic CPU models, versions are available for dual-redundant operation, supporting I/O hot-swapping. All CPUs have one dedicated board slot with a direct CPU-bus connection, in which a serial communication board or a loop control board can be mounted. All CPU Units support IEC61131-3 Structured text and ladder language.
Omron's extensive function block library helps to reduce your programming effort, while you can create your own function blocks to suit your specific needs.
CS-Series Power Supplies, Backplanes
Expand with up to 7 racks
CS1 systems can operate on 24 VDC power supply, or on 100 - 240 VAC mains. For small-scale systems with mainly digital I/O a low-cost small-capacity power supply can be used. For systems with many analog I/Os and control/communication units, it may be necessary to use a larger power supply unit.
PLC racks are available in several sizes, from 2 to 10 slots wide. Special backplanes are required for duplex systems. Depending on the CPU type, up to 7 expansions can be connected to the CPU rack, giving a total capacity of 80 I/O units. The total length of the expansion cables of one system may be up to 12 m.
CS-Series Digital I/O Units
Up to 96 I/O points per unit - input, output or mixed
Digital I/O units serve as the PLCs interface to achieve fast, reliable sequence control. A full range of units, from high-speed DC inputs to relay outputs, let you adapt CS1 to your needs.
CS1 units are available with various I/O densities and connection technologies. Up to 16 I/O points can be wired to units with detachable M3 screw terminals directly. High-density 32- and 64- point I/O units are equipped with standard 40-pin connectors. Prefabricated cables and wiring terminals are available for easy interfacing to high-density I/O units.
CS-Series Analogue and Process I/O Units
From basic analogue I/O to process control
CS1 offers a wide choice of analogue input units, fit for any application, from low-speed, multi-channel temperature measurement to high-speed, high-accuracy data acquisition. Analogue outputs can be used for accurate control or external indication.
Advanced units with built-in scaling, filtering and alarm functions reduce the need for complex PLC programming. High-accuracy process I/O units support an extensive range of sensors, for fast and accurate data acquisition. All Process and temperature I/O units provide isolation between all individual channels.
CS-Series Position/Motion Control Units
Add motion control to any CS1 PLC
From simple position measurement to multi-axis synchronized motion control, CS1 offers a full range of units:
Counter units gather position information from SSI- or incremental encoders. Actual positions are compared with internally stored target values.
Position control Units are used for point-to-point positioning with servo drives or stepper motors. Target data and acceleration/deceleration curves can be adjusted on-the-fly.
Position- and motion control Units equipped with MECHATROLINK-II interface can control multiple drives through a single high-speed link. Message routing through multiple communication layers allows the attached drives to be configured from any point in the control network.
CS-Series Communication Units
Open to any communication, standard or user-defined
CS1 provides both standardized open networks interfaces, and cost-efficient high-speed proprietary network links. Datalinks between PLCs, or to higher-level information systems can be made using Serial or Ethernet links, or the easy-to-use Controller Link network.
Omron supports the 2 major field networks, DeviceNet and PROFIBUS-DP. For high-speed field I/O, Omron's own CompoBus/S offers an unsurpassed ease of installation. Fully user-configurable Serial and CAN-based communication can be used to emulate a variety of application-specific protocols.
I/O Modules - HighSpeed Counting
Detect high-speed machine or process motion for positioning
CS-Series High-Speed Counter modules accept input pulse frequencies that allow precise control of fast machine motion. Each bidirectional counter can be configured independently as a simple counter, circular counter, or linear counter according to the application.
Two and four channel models available
Built-in configurable digital I/O
50 to 500kHz with line driver input
