Omron C200PC-ISA02-DRM-E SYSMAC Board ISA Bus Programmable Logic Controller
The Omron C200PC-ISA02-DRM-E is a SYSMAC Board programmable logic controller designed for ISA bus architecture, providing full PLC functionality equivalent to a SYSMAC C200HX/HG/HE PLC on a single PC-compatible board. This board integrates the processing power and I/O capabilities of a standalone PLC into an ISA bus form factor, enabling PC-based control systems with deterministic PLC performance. The C200PC series boards allow standard industrial computers to function as programmable controllers while maintaining compatibility with the C200H family of I/O modules and programming environments.
Technical Specifications
The C200PC-ISA02-DRM-E is an ISA bus-compatible board that provides functionality equivalent to C200HX/HG/HE PLCs. The board supports connection to C200H family I/O modules for system expansion, enabling scalable configurations from small to medium I/O counts. The board includes the ISA02-DRM-E designation, indicating specific communication and interface configuration. The SYSMAC Board can be installed in standard ISA bus slots of industrial computers, providing a cost-effective solution for integrating PLC control into PC-based systems.
System Configuration
The C200PC-ISA02-DRM-E can be used with Link Adapters including AL002-(P)E and AL004-(P)E to insert optical links between PC Link Units, extending transmission distance and providing superior resistance to electrical noise. Link Adapters are used in Host Link Systems for branching and for converting to the type of cable required by the host computer. The system supports RS-232C communication with maximum cable length of 15 m and RS-422 communication with maximum length of 500 m. The board is designed for integration with IBM PC/AT or compatible computers.
Programming and Software
The C200PC-ISA02-DRM-E is programmed using Omron SYSMAC programming software compatible with C200H series PLCs. The board supports ladder diagram programming and all standard instructions of the C200H PLC family. The PC-based architecture allows the board to share memory and processing resources with the host computer while maintaining deterministic PLC scan cycles. This architecture is ideal for applications requiring both PC-based data processing and real-time machine control within a single hardware platform.
Applications
The Omron C200PC-ISA02-DRM-E SYSMAC Board is deployed in PC-based industrial control applications requiring deterministic PLC performance. Typical applications include test and measurement systems where a PC must control I/O points while performing data acquisition and analysis, machine vision systems integrating camera processing with real-time machine control, and legacy system upgrades where existing ISA bus industrial computers are maintained for compatibility. The board is also used in custom automation equipment, laboratory automation, and any application where PC-based PLC control on ISA bus platform provides the optimal balance of processing power and deterministic control.
