CP2E-N40DR-A Omron New Original Plc Programming module Industrial Automation Controller

2. Key Selling Points

1. 1. 40-Point I/O with Relay Outputs: Provides a total of 40 digital I/O points (typically 24 inputs and 16 outputs) in a compact design, featuring 16 mechanical relay outputs (indicated by the "-DR" suffix). This makes it ideal for applications requiring switching of mixed AC/DC loads, such as contactors, solenoids, lamps, or alarms.

   2. Versatile Relay Output Capability: The relay outputs can switch both AC and DC loads and handle high inrush currents, offering flexibility and reliability in controlling a wide variety of field devices without needing external relays or solid-state interfaces.

   3. Dual Voltage Input Compatibility: The 24 digital inputs are compatible with both DC 12 V and 24 V signals, allowing seamless connection to a wide range of sensors and switches without requiring a separate input power supply—simplifying wiring and system design.

   4. Built-in High-Speed Counters & Pulse Outputs: Supports high-speed counting up to 200 kHz on dedicated inputs for encoder-based positioning or speed monitoring. It also features high-speed pulse output (up to 100 kHz) on specific outputs, enabling basic motion control for stepper or servo drives.

   5. 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—providing robust communication options without additional modules.

   6. Easy Programming and Expandable Architecture: Fully compatible with Omron’s CX-Programmer and Sysmac Studio software, supporting all IEC 61131-3 programming languages. It also allows expansion with CP1W-series function units (e.g., analog, temperature, communication), offering scalability for future system upgrades and enhanced functionality.
