CP1W-EXT01 PLC Expansion Unit for I/O Connectivity
CP1W-EXT01 PLC Expansion Unit for I/O Connectivity
SKU:CP1W-EXT01
Package size: 19X17X11CMCP1W-EXT01 I/O Expansion Unit - Product Overview
The CP1W-EXT01 is a high-performance expansion unit from Omron's CP1 series, specifically engineered to extend the input/output capacity of compatible CP1E and CP1L series Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). This industrial-grade expansion module provides 16 additional configurable I/O points, enabling system integrators and automation engineers to scale their control systems efficiently without requiring a complete PLC upgrade.
Key Features and Benefits
- Flexible I/O Configuration: 16-point digital expansion configurable as either input or output modules (sinking/sourcing) to match specific application requirements.
- Compact Industrial Design: Space-saving dimensions of 90 mm (W) × 65 mm (H) × 65 mm (D) with only 300 g weight for easy integration into control panels.
- Bus-Powered Operation: Low power consumption at 5 V DC, 100 mA (supplied directly through the PLC expansion bus) eliminates need for separate power wiring.
- Robust Electrical Isolation: Photocoupler isolation on all I/O channels provides protection against electrical noise and voltage spikes in industrial environments.
- Wide Temperature Range: Reliable operation across industrial temperature ranges (0°C to 55°C) with storage capability from -25°C to 75°C.
- Standard Warranty: Backed by Omron's 1-year manufacturer warranty for guaranteed performance and reliability.
Industrial Applications
- Factory Automation: Ideal for expanding I/O capacity in assembly lines, packaging machines, and material handling systems.
- Machine Control: Provides modular expansion for injection molding machines, CNC equipment, and other industrial machinery.
- Process Control: Suitable for distributed I/O requirements in water treatment, food processing, and pharmaceutical applications.
- Small-to-Medium Automation: Cost-effective solution for system integrators needing scalable control architectures.
