Omron has introduced a new version of the CP1L compact PLC, offering flexible Ethernet communications as standard, a feature traditionally only available in larger, modular PLCs. As a result this enhanced version of the CP1L meets today’s machine control requirements for compact PLCs that are able to connect seamlessly with a wide variety of sensors and position control devices, as well as providing facilities for remote access, monitoring and datalogging.
The embedded Ethernet port on the CP1L can be used both for programming and communications and provides programmable connectivity to many Ethernet supported devices. With the Socket Services function a flexible network connection is provided that enables users to adopt whatever Ethernet protocol they need for their application. Socket services supports standard Ethernet protocols including UDP, TCP and Modbus/TCP, enabling connection to a wide range of devices. In addition, the CP1L supports the Omron FINS Ethernet protocol for simple connection to other PLCs and HMIs.
Three Ethernet enabled versions of the CP1L are available, offering 20, 30 or 40 I/O points, expandable to 160 I/O points. These new versions of the CP1L also include two 0-10 V analogue inputs as standard. Where more analogue I/O is required, the CP1L can be expanded with new optional boards to add two further inputs, two further outputs, or both two inputs and two outputs.
