Programmable Logic Controllers

The “Brains” of a machine, a PLC is a digital computer used for the automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on an assembly line. They are programmed to operate in a very reliable specific fashion (turning on and off outputs) based on inputs, timers, and other internal logical controls. Early PLC’s were designed to replace electromechanical relay logic, and the basic programming structure of ladder logic’s “contacts and coils” is a holdover from those electrical diagrams. Today there are a wide range of PLC hardware options, from very simple “smart relays” to very complex, factory-wide control platforms. Commonly a user will choose a hardware platform based on the number and type of inputs and outputs they need for a machine, along with functions for data-storage, security, and communications.

Omron CP1L machine controller

Micro PLC

The Omron CP1L PLC is a controller for compact machines and offers all of the functionality found in modular PLC. It includes a USB port, with an embedded Ethernet port, and a range of optional boards for serial communication or analogue I/O and further expansion units when more I/O is needed.
Economic machine controlle

Economic Controller

The CP1E is an economic machine controller from Omron offering all the functionality needed for simple applications. It offers all functionality you need to control relatively simple applications, including outstanding positioning capability. All CP1E CPUs offer high-speed USB for quick programming.
advanced machine controller

Machine Controller

Omron’s CP1H is a micro PLC for 4 axis position control and provides high speed control in a small package. Four high-speed counters and four pulse outputs are ideal for multi-axis positioning control. The CP1H-XA comes with 4 analogue inputs and 2 analogue outputs built-in, making makes it suitable for simple loop control.
HIGH SPEED PLC

Compact Controller

The CJ2H series is ideal for advanced machine automation needs, such as those required in image processing inspection of electrical components and high speed sorting on conveyors. CJ2H has special instructions that provide direct data access to high-speed analog I/O units and serial communication units. Position Control units can be synchronised for coordinated control of up to 20 axes.
