CP2E-N40DT-A Omron New Original Plc Programming module Industrial Automation Controller

2. Key Selling Points

1. Optimized I/O Count (40 Points) in Compact Form: Provides a balanced total of 40 I/O points (typically 24 digital inputs and 16 transistor outputs) in a space-saving design—ideal for mid-sized machines that require more I/O than basic models but don’t need a full 60-point unit, optimizing panel space and cost.

2. High-Speed Transistor Outputs (Sourcing Type): Features 16 DC 24 V sourcing transistor outputs (indicated by the "-DT-A" suffix), capable of high-speed pulse output up to 100 kHz on dedicated axes. This enables direct control of stepper or servo drives for precise positioning and motion tasks without additional modules.

3. Integrated High-Speed Counter Inputs: Includes multiple high-speed counter inputs supporting frequencies up to 200 kHz (single-phase) and 100 kHz (two-phase), allowing direct connection to rotary encoders for accurate speed, position, and length measurement in applications like cut-to-length or packaging.

4. Dual Built-in Communication Ports: Equipped with two standard communication interfaces: a USB (Type B) port for programming and HMI connectivity, and an RS-232C port for connecting to HMIs, barcode readers, printers, or other serial devices—ensuring robust communication flexibility out of the box.

5. Fast Processing & Advanced Control Capabilities: Delivers fast scan times and supports built-in instructions for positioning (PULS, ACC), PWM output, and timer/pulse functions. It also supports all five IEC 61131-3 programming languages via CX-Programmer or Sysmac Studio, enabling complex logic development.

6. Easy Integration and Expandability: Designed for seamless integration into industrial systems with removable terminal blocks for simplified wiring. It supports expansion with CP1W-series I/O and function units (e.g., analog, temperature, communication), allowing the system to scale as application needs evolve.
