Omron CJ1 BROCHURE

smart, seamless and sliceable

CJ1-SERIES

A new strategy in machine control

Advanced Industrial Automation

To stay competitive in the machine building industry you have to be flexible, efficient and fast.

Omron’s CJ1 series gives you this competitive edge. This new family of PLCs ranges from powerful

CPU models that offer total machine control, to very small CPUs that enable you to modularise

or ‘slice’ your machine into logical sections. You don’t even need to consider where to slice the

machine! Any I/O units can be mounted on any CPU, enabling you to distribute all the functions

you need to wherever you need them. And no matter how complex your machine becomes,

there’s always a CPU and a combination of I/Os to match your needs. It’s the ultimate in

machine sliceability and scalability!

Modularising machines

was never so flexible!

Fast and easy to configure

CJ1 modules connect together using reliable, high-quality
locking connectors. This eliminates the need for a bulky
PLC rack, and makes the CJ1 fast and easy to configure
and install in control panels.

Seamless communication throughout

Built-in routing functions allow seamless communication over multiple network
layers. Programming and data transfer are fully transparent through open
networks like Ethernet, PROFIBUS-DP and DeviceNet, as well as Omron’s
cost-effective proprietary networks. CJ1’s open communication units allow
the PLCs to communicate to nearly any 3rd party device.

Intelligence built-in

The core of intelligence of your machine control
system is the PLC CPU. The CJ1-series CPUs range
from cost-effective units for simple sequence
control, to ultra-fast high-capacity models
handling up to 2560 I/O points. The main benefit
to you is that any PLC module can be mounted on
any CPU type. This reduces the number of different
product families for which you have to keep
modules in stock.

Analogue and digital I/O units

CJ1 I/O units, ranging from basic to ultra-compact high-density
models, can be placed anywhere in the system, enabling you
to distribute all the functions you need, to wherever you
need them.

Control units

Specialised control units for motion control and
temperature control take the load off the CPU tasks
and allow for easy structured programming.
And Omron’s seamless communication allows fully
distributed machine control, configurable through
any access point in the network.

Omron’s supporting software suite

Omron’s CX-automation suite is designed to help you
unleash the power and flexibility of the CJ1 series.
With these software tools you can configure, program,
commission, visualise and maintain all Omron’s PLCs,
and all using the same seamless communication.
You simply choose the software tools you need now,
and add other software components later.

When it comes to PLCs, Omron’s reputation for quality, reliability and advanced
technology is unsurpassed. The CJ1 series is no exception. With CJ1 you can mix and
match CPU power, special function units, and an extensive range of standard I/O units
to suit every machine automation need. With its credit-card size profile, CJ1 offers the
best size/performance ratio in the industry. And without a separate back-plane,
the mounting space required is never more than the units you install.

ratio in the business
