Omron Introduces a Small Programmable Controller with Multiple Functions in One

A few days ago, Omron Corporation held a "New Product Launch Conference on Omron System Products and the Launching Ceremony of the National Tour Exhibition" at Shanghai Bank of China Building. Dozens of domestic media and related leaders of Omron Corporation attended the conference.

At the meeting, OMRON introduced a new highly scalable small integrated programmable controller (PLC) SYSMAC CP1H, mainly including CP1H-X (standard type), CP1H-XA (built-in analog Models) and CP1H-Y (High Speed ​​Positioning Models). CP1H integrates CS/CJ's various functions, enriches and enhances application capabilities through built-in multiple functions, and shortens design time for additional complex programs. With many new features, this new small PLC can be used in textile, packaging, food, printing, as well as a number of industrial control applications that require drive functions, such as cables, which are currently rare in similar products. of.

CP1H is positioned on minicomputers, but it is based on the CS/CJ (especially CJ, CJ is a medium-sized PLC platform) platform, so it has a lot of medium-sized machine functions, such as pulse output and analog output. Omron's previously-delivered PLCs are dominated by high-end and low-end products in the traditional sense, while small PLCs such as the SYSMAC CP1H that integrate multiple mid-sized machine functions are rare. Therefore, the introduction of CP1H is of great significance. Make up an important part of the Omron product chain, making Omron's entire PLC product chain more complete.

The CP1H's standard 4-speed high-speed pulse output function provides advantages in high-precision positioning, and is particularly suitable for applications such as the assembly of electrolytic capacitors in electronic product manufacturing equipment and paper feeders for packaging machines. CP1H-X series can realize high-speed pulse output of 100kHz×2 axis and 30kHz×2 axis; CP1H-Y has built-in 1MHz linear driver input/output, and also has 20 points (12 input, 8 output) Input / output, to achieve pulse output function 100kHz × 2 axis and 30kHz × 2 axis.

The CPU of CP1H is based on the CJ platform. Although it is positioned in the field of minicomputer applications, its speed and processing capabilities are far higher than those of minicomputers. Therefore, it has obvious performance advantages over general minicomputers. It handles one basic instruction. The time required is only 0.1μs, and the time required for the CPU of a small PLC product to process the same command is more than 0.6μs. The user can select CPUs of different levels (CP1H-X, CP1H-XA, and CP1H-Y) according to application requirements and cost restrictions.
In terms of software, CP1H can shorten the time to add complex programming. Due to the use of the CJ programming environment, the programming function of the FB-ST is supported. Contains multiple function blocks. When the user needs to connect another intelligent control system, there is no need for many programs to set various parameters, and the corresponding function blocks can be automatically realized by simply calling the corresponding function blocks from the library.

SYSMAC CP1H plans to achieve volume production in August. Omron plans to organize tour events in 15 cities across the country from July 11 to August 12. In the event of one day in each city, Omron's product experts will explain in detail the characteristics, functions and competitors of the CP1H. The advantages and advantages of CX-One; how to use them together with servos, sensors, etc.

Omron based on its two core technologies - sensing and control, can provide a range of PLC products for a variety of industrial control applications, from high-end to low-end, from buttons, inverters, servo motors, can be the market Provide a complete solution. Omron attaches great importance to the customization of its products. By subdividing the market and determining the product's R&D according to the customer's specific needs, Omron is able to get closer to the market and customers. At present, Omron's customers in China account for about 10% of its total global customer base. In the past few years, Omron's business in China has grown at an average annual rate of 30%, and will continue to maintain an annual growth rate of 30%. Win four times in 2007. The demand for small PLCs in the Chinese market is increasing, and its performance is also required to be higher and higher, integrating multiple functions such as communication functions, analog and pulse processing capabilities, and speed. The functions and features of SYSMAC CP1H can exactly meet the development requirements of the Chinese market.
