We have released new and upgraded models of the popular CP1E programmable controllers, which are specifically designed to provide versatile and cost-effective solutions for simple applications. The new CP1E controllers replace the existing CP1E products and add a 60 I/O model to the range.
Other enhancements include the provision of both an RS-232 serial port and an RS-485 port that allows easy communication with a wide range of external devices, including HMI units, sensors, inverter drives and weighing controllers. In addition, the new models feature reduced height compared with the models they replace, which saves valuable space in control panels.
The new CP1E models are part of our extensive CP1 PLC family, which also includes CP1L controllers for applications needing greater flexibility, and CP1H controllers for use where the highest levels of performance are needed.
CP1 PLCs are the perfect choice for applications involving position control. Whether this is for conveyor control, point-to-point motion control or non-interpolated pick-and-place systems, the combination of high-speed pulse outputs, variable speed drive control functions, and positional feedback support provide all of the functionality needed to implement convenient and dependable solutions.
Other key features of the new CP1E-N PLC include two high-speed outputs for controlling servo drives, six high-speed counter inputs for encoder feedback, a Modbus Easy Master for communication with any Modbus slave, and a standard USB port for easy programming access. The controllers use a convenient ladder-diagram programming tool, which is fully compatible with Omron modular programmable controllers.
