Omron Micro PLCs Series

In this chapter will be described on the category of Omron PLCs. Omron PLCs are classified based on the capabilities or features, as well as the capacity of input-output (I/O). This chapter will start for the first category is the Omron Micro PLCs. And regarding the other categories will be discussed in subsequent chapters.
Omron Micro PLCs is a type of Omron PLC which is the smallest category. There is limited ability or features as well as the number of input-output (I/O), when compared with others type.
However, some of this type has been equipped with facilities such as analog input-output, pulse output, and serial communication. 

Just as a reminder, " an analog input-output means" that the PLC is capable recieving or sending and processing analog signal (eg, 4-20mA o-10 Volt) or in other words not only capable of processing digital input-output (I/O). Example of this application is a temperature measurement which one do as processing signal from a temperature control that generates an analog signal. Or otherwise controlling the set point value of temperature via a temperature control.

"While the pulse output is a pulse" signal which is used to drive servo motor via servo motor driver. Or this often referred to as a pulse generator.

"For serial communication ports", can be connected to HMI, touch screen, computer and other devices.

It can be said that with Omron Micro PLC is much better than the konvensional control (relay etc). The main thing is more compact space or simplify the wiring, and flexibilty in programming the machine control.
Here are the some types of Omron Micro PLCs:
1. CP1E (economical), 20
There are three models with input-output capacity(I/O) 20 to 160 points, USB as peripheral port, and serial port : 

• CP1E-E(basic model): Program capacity : 2Ksteps, Data memory : 2Kwords, Timer/Counter 256, Hi-speed counter 10Khz x 6 inputs.
• CP1E-N :support programable terminal, inverter and position control (servo), Program capacity : 8 Ksteps, Data memory : 8 Kwords, Timer/Counter 256, Hi-speed counter 100Khz x 2 inputs and 10 Khz x 2 inputs.
• CP1E-NA : built in 2 analog input, and 1 analog output. Program capacity : 8 Ksteps, Data memory : 8 Kwords, Timer/Counter 256, Hi-speed counter 100Khz x 2 inputs and 10 Khz x 2 inputs.
