Omron C60H-C6DR-DE-V1 CPU Module for SYSMAC C60H Programmable Controllers

The Omron C60H-C6DR-DE-V1 is a CPU module from the SYSMAC C60H series, a compact yet powerful programmable logic controller (PLC) solution. This all-in-one unit combines the CPU, a 24-point DC input interface, a 16-point relay output interface, and an AC power supply in a single housing.

Design and Application

The C60H-C6DR-DE-V1 is designed as a cost-effective main controller for small to medium-sized machines. Its large 24/16 I/O count allows direct connection of sensors, pushbuttons, and limit switches, while the heavy-duty relay outputs can directly drive contactors, solenoids, and small motors without intermediate relays.

Memory and Expansion

Program memory is stored in EEPROM, ensuring the user program is safely retained even after years of being powered off, with no maintenance battery. The module also supports three C-series expansion I/O units to expand up to 120 total I/O points. A built-in RS-232C port with Host Link protocol supports connection to HMIs, host computers, and other serial devices.

Reliable Relay Outputs

The 16 built-in relay outputs are rated for 2 A at 250 VAC or 24 VDC, with a maximum switching capacity of 2 A per output. These relays provide a robust interface to high-voltage AC devices like motor starters, direct heaters, and pilot lights while maintaining complete electrical isolation from the low-voltage logic bus.

Conclusion

The Omron C60H-C6DR-DE-V1 is a rugged, integrated controller ideal for replacing a panel full of timers, relays, and counters. The combination of a built-in power supply, CPU, I/O, and EEPROM memory makes it a powerful and reliable solution for OEMs and integrators.
