Product Overview

The OMRON C200H-PS211 is a dedicated power supply unit designed for the C200H series programmable logic controller (PLC) expansion racks. This module provides regulated 24 VDC power to I/O modules mounted on backplanes, ensuring stable and reliable operation of connected field devices and control components. The C200H-PS211 is specifically intended for use in expansion I/O racks and mounts in the rightmost slot of the rack, delivering power to all modules installed on that backplane.

The C200H series supports a flexible system configuration where one CPU rack can be expanded with up to two expansion I/O racks. Additionally, multiple slave racks can be connected via optical or wired cable to a Remote I/O Master Module mounted on either the CPU rack or an expansion I/O rack, with up to five slave racks per CPU rack. The C200H-PS211 plays a critical role in these distributed configurations by providing local power to each expansion or slave rack.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

• Dedicated 24 VDC power supply for C200H expansion and remote I/O slave racks, providing reliable power to backplane modules.

• Supports up to two expansion I/O racks per CPU rack for system scalability and I/O capacity growth.

• Compatible with optical fiber or wired cable remote I/O connections for distributed control architectures.

• Rightmost slot mounting design maximizes backplane space utilization and simplifies rack configuration.

• Interlocking mechanism ensures proper seating and electrical connection to the backplane.

• Part of the comprehensive C200H system enabling up to five slave racks per CPU rack for large-scale distributed applications.

• Available in multiple cable lengths (0.3 to 10 meters) for flexible physical layout and cabinet design.

Applications

The OMRON C200H-PS211 power supply unit is deployed in C200H-based PLC systems requiring I/O expansion beyond the capacity of a single rack. In large-scale manufacturing lines, multiple expansion racks are distributed throughout the production floor, each with its own C200H-PS211 providing local power to I/O modules near field devices.

The module is also used in systems with remote I/O configurations where slave racks are located up to significant distances from the main CPU rack, communicating via optical or wired cable. Typical applications include automotive assembly plants, material handling systems, packaging machinery lines, and process automation facilities where distributed control architectures reduce wiring costs and improve system organization.
