CJ1W-OD201

The CJ1W-OD201 is an output module specifically used for the CJ series of programmable logic controllers (PLC) from OMRON. It’s considered as one of the several modules available for PLC systems of the OMRON CJ1 series. The CJ1W-OD201 has 8 outputs, each with a voltage output of 24 VDC, and rated current of 0.5A/point.

This module is mainly used to turn on/off actuators or indicators with the help of relay output. It is designed to operate in logic circuits and is capable of controlling other systems in PLC systems. Moreover, its importance lies in the fact that it is used in various industrial settings like in factory automation processes, process control systems, etc.

The CJ1W-OD201 consists of a few components such as a power supply, logic input, logic output, and other small components. The power supply delivers the necessary power for operation; the logic input accepts control signals from the CPU; and the logic output controls the actuators or indicators. The other small components are used to improve the performance of the device. It also has a built-in over-current and over-voltage protection feature that offer maximum protection against voltage fluctuations.

The CJ1W-OD201 module is equipped with a few control functions that make it ideal for various purposes. These control functions include pulse output, pulse train output, latch output, and interval output. Pulse output is used to control motors, valves, conveyors, etc. Pulse train output is used for counting, measuring, and other similar operations. The latch output primarily works to maintain the working logic, while the interval output is used for controlling the starting and stopping of motors, valves, conveyors, etc.

The working principle of the CJ1W-OD201 is simple enough to understand. It receives signals from the CPU and, based on the transfer function, controls the actuators or indicators connected to it. The logic input and logic output are responsible for carrying out this transfer function, and it decides the output of the device. The PLC programming is done by the CPU, and it is responsible for programming the functions of the CJ1W-OD201.

In conclusion, the CJ1W-OD201 is an output module specifically designed for the OMRON CJ series programmable logic controllers. This module is ideal for controlling various actuators and indicators in industrial settings such as factory automation, process control systems, etc. The working principle is quite simple, and it can be understood easily. It receives signals from the CPU, which is responsible for programming the functions, and it controls the actuators or indicators based on the transfer function. The control functions available are pulse output, pulse train output, latch output, and interval output. The CJ1W-OD201 is a reliable and versatile output module for any PLC system.
