About this Manual:

This manual describes installation and operation of the CP-series Programmable Controllers (PLCs)
and includes the sections described below. The CP Series provides advanced package-type PLCs
based on OMRON’s advanced control technologies and vast experience in automated control.

Please read this manual carefully and be sure you understand the information provided before
attempting to install or operate a CP-series PLC. Be sure to read the precautions provided in the fol­lowing section.

Definition of the CP Series

The CP Series is centered around the CP1H and CP1L CPU Units and is designed with the same
basic architecture as the CS and CJ Series. Always use CP-series Expansion Units and CP-series
Expansion I/O Units when expanding I/O capacity.

I/O words are allocated in the same way as the CPM1A/CPM2A PLCs, i.e., using fixed areas for inputs
and outputs.

fied purpose and under the specified conditions, especially in applications that
can directly or indirectly affect human life. You must consult with your OMRON
representative before applying a PLC System to the above-mentioned appli­cations.

3 Safety Precautions

!WARNING Do not attempt to take any Unit apart while the power is being supplied. Doing

so may result in electric shock.

!WARNING Do not touch any of the terminals or terminal blocks while the power is being

supplied. Doing so may result in electric shock.

!WARNING Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify any Units. Any attempt to do

so may result in malfunction, fire, or electric shock.

!WARNING Provide safety measures in external circuits (i.e., not in the Programmable

Controller), including the following items, to ensure safety in the system if an
abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the PLC or another external factor
affecting the PLC operation. Not doing so may result in serious accidents.

• Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety
measures must be provided in external control circuits.

xxv

Safety Precautions 3

• The PLC will turn OFF all outputs when its self-diagnosis function detects
any error or when a severe failure alarm (FALS) instruction is executed.
As a countermeasure for such errors, external safety measures must be
provided to ensure safety in the system.

• The PLC or outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposits on or burning
of the output relays, or destruction of the output transistors. As a counter­measure for such problems, external safety measures must be provided
to ensure safety in the system.

• When the 24-V DC output (service power supply to the PLC) is over­loaded or short-circuited, the voltage may drop and result in the outputs
being turned OFF. As a countermeasure for such problems, external
safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in the system.

!WARNING Fail-safe measures must be taken by the customer to ensure safety in the

event of incorrect, missing, or abnormal signals caused by broken signal lines,
momentary power interruptions, or other causes. Not doing so may result in
serious accidents.

!Caution Execute online edit only after confirming that no adverse effects will be

caused by extending the cycle time. Otherwise, the input signals may not be
readable.

!Caution Confirm safety at the destination node before transferring a program to

another node or editing the I/O area. Doing either of these without confirming
safety may result in injury.

!Caution Tighten the screws on the terminal block of the AC power supply to the torque

specified in this manual. The loose screws may result in burning or malfunc­tion.

!Caution Do not touch anywhere near the power supply parts or I/O terminals while the

power is ON, and immediately after turning OFF the power. The hot surface
may cause burn injury.

!Caution Pay careful attention to the polarities (+/-) when wiring the DC power supply. A

wrong connection may cause malfunction of the system.

!Caution When connecting the PLC to a computer or other peripheral device, either

ground the 0 V side of the external power supply or do not ground the external
power supply at all. Otherwise the external power supply may be shorted
depending on the connection methods of the peripheral device. DO NOT
ground the 24 V side of the external power supply, as shown in the following
diagram.

Operating Environment Precautions 4

!Caution After programming (or reprogramming) using the IOWR instruction, confirm

that correct operation is possible with the new ladder program and data before
starting actual operation. Any irregularities may cause the product to stop
operating, resulting in unexpected operation in machinery or equipment.

!Caution The CP1L CPU Units automatically back up the user program and parameter

data to flash memory when these are written to the CPU Unit. I/O memory
(including the DM Area, counter present values and Completion Flags, and
HR Area), however, is not written to flash memory. The DM Area, counter
present values and Completion Flags, and HR Area can be held during power
interruptions with a battery. If there is a battery error, the contents of these
areas may not be accurate after a power interruption. If the contents of the
DM Area, counter present values and Completion Flags, and HR Area are
used to control external outputs, prevent inappropriate outputs from being
made whenever the Battery Error Flag (A402.04) is ON.

4 Operating Environment Precautions

!Caution Do not operate the control system in the following locations:

• Locations subject to direct sunlight.

• Locations subject to temperatures or humidity outside the range specified
in the specifications.

• Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in tem­perature.

• Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases.

• Locations subject to dust (especially iron dust) or salts.

• Locations subject to exposure to water, oil, or chemicals.

• Locations subject to shock or vibration.

!Caution Take appropriate and sufficient countermeasures when installing systems in

the following locations:

• Locations subject to static electricity or other forms of noise.

• Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields.

• Locations subject to possible exposure to radioactivity.

• Locations close to power supplies.

!Caution The operating environment of the PLC System can have a large effect on the

longevity and reliability of the system. Improper operating environments can
lead to malfunction, failure, and other unforeseeable problems with the PLC
System. Make sure that the operating environment is within the specified con­ditions at installation and remains within the specified conditions during the
life of the system.

Application Precautions 5

5 Application Precautions

Observe the following precautions when using the PLC System.

!WARNING Always heed these precautions. Failure to abide by the following precautions

could lead to serious or possibly fatal injury.

• Always connect to 100

Ω or less when installing the Units. Not connecting

to a ground of 100

Ω or less may result in electric shock.

• Always turn OFF the power supply to the PLC before attempting any of
the following. Not turning OFF the power supply may result in malfunction
or electric shock.

• Mounting or dismounting Expansion Units or any other Units

• Connecting or removing the Memory Cassette or Option Board

• Setting DIP switches or rotary switches

• Connecting or wiring the cables

• Connecting or disconnecting the connectors

!Caution Failure to abide by the following precautions could lead to faulty operation of

the PLC or the system, or could damage the PLC or PLC Units. Always heed
these precautions.

• Install external breakers and take other safety measures against short-cir­cuiting in external wiring. Insufficient safety measures against short-cir­cuiting may result in burning.

• Mount the Unit only after checking the connectors and terminal blocks
completely.

• Be sure that all the terminal screws and cable connector screws are tight­ened to the torque specified in the relevant manuals. Incorrect tightening
torque may result in malfunction.

• Wire all connections correctly according to instructions in this manual.

• Always use the power supply voltage specified in the operation manuals.
An incorrect voltage may result in malfunction or burning.

• Take appropriate measures to ensure that the specified power with the
rated voltage and frequency is supplied. Be particularly careful in places
where the power supply is unstable. An incorrect power supply may result
in malfunction.

• Leave the label attached to the Unit when wiring. Removing the label may
result in malfunction.

• Remove the label after the completion of wiring to ensure proper heat dis­sipation. Leaving the label attached may result in malfunction.

• Use crimp terminals for wiring. Do not connect bare stranded wires
directly to terminals. Connection of bare stranded wires may result in
burning.

• Do not apply voltages to the input terminals in excess of the rated input
voltage. Excess voltages may result in burning.

• Do not apply voltages or connect loads to the output terminals in excess
of the maximum switching capacity. Excess voltage or loads may result in
burning.

xxviii

Application Precautions 5

• Be sure that the terminal blocks, connectors, Option Boards, and other
items with locking devices are properly locked into place. Improper locking
may result in malfunction.

• Disconnect the functional ground terminal when performing withstand
voltage tests. Not disconnecting the functional ground terminal may result
in burning.

• Wire correctly and double-check all the wiring or the setting switches
before turning ON the power supply. Incorrect wiring may result in burn­ing.

• Check that the DIP switches and data memory (DM) are properly set
before starting operation.

• Check the user program for proper execution before actually running it on
the Unit. Not checking the program may result in an unexpected opera­tion.

• Resume operation only after transferring to the new CPU Unit the con­tents of the DM, HR, and CNT Areas required for resuming operation. Not
doing so may result in an unexpected operation.

• Confirm that no adverse effect will occur in the system before attempting
any of the following. Not doing so may result in an unexpected operation.

• Changing the operating mode of the PLC (including the setting of the
startup operating mode).

• Force-setting/force-resetting any bit in memory.

• Changing the present value of any word or any set value in memory.

• Do not pull on the cables or bend the cables beyond their natural limit.
Doing either of these may break the cables.

• Do not place objects on top of the cables. Doing so may break the cables.

• When replacing parts, be sure to confirm that the rating of a new part is
correct. Not doing so may result in malfunction or burning.

• Before touching the Unit, be sure to first touch a grounded metallic object
in order to discharge any static buildup. Not doing so may result in mal­function or damage.

• Do not touch the Expansion I/O Unit Connecting Cable while the power is
being supplied in order to prevent malfunction due to static electricity.

• Do not turn OFF the power supply to the Unit while data is being trans­ferred.

• When transporting or storing the product, cover the PCBs with electrically
conductive materials to prevent LSIs and ICs from being damaged by
static electricity, and also keep the product within the specified storage
temperature range.

• Do not touch the mounted parts or the rear surface of PCBs because
PCBs have sharp edges such as electrical leads.

• Double-check the pin numbers when assembling and wiring the connec­tors.

• Wire correctly according to specified procedures.

• Do not connect pin 6 (+5V) on the RS-232C Option Board (CP1W-CIF01)
on the CPU Unit to any external device other than the NT-AL001 or
CP1W-CIF11 Conversion Adapter. The external device and the CPU Unit
may be damaged.

xxix

Application Precautions 5

• Use the dedicated connecting cables specified in this manual to connect
the Units. Using commercially available RS-232C computer cables may
cause failures in external devices or the CPU Unit.

• The user program and parameter area data in the CPU Unit is backed up
in the built-in flash memory. The BKUP indicator will light on the front of
the CPU Unit when the backup operation is in progress. Do not turn OFF
the power supply to the CPU Unit when the BKUP indicator is lit. The data
will not be backed up if power is turned OFF.

• Do not turn OFF the power supply to the PLC while the Memory Cassette
is being written. Doing so may corrupt the data in the Memory Cassette.
The BKUP indicator will light while the Memory Cassette is being written.
Wait for the BKUP indicator to go out before turning OFF the power sup­ply to the PLC.

• Before replacing the battery, supply power to the CPU Unit for at least 5
minutes and then complete battery replacement within 5 minutes of turn
OFF the power supply. Memory data may be corrupted if this precaution is
not observed.

• Always use the following size wire when connecting I/O terminals:
AWG22 to AWG18 (0.32 to 0.82 mm

2

).

• Dispose of the product and batteries according to local ordinances as
they apply.
Have qualified specialists properly dispose of used batteries as industrial
waste.

• UL standards required that batteries be replaced only by experienced
technicians. Do not allow unqualified persons to replace batteries. Also,
always follow the replacement procedure provided in the manual.

• Never short-circuit the positive and negative terminals of a battery or
charge, disassemble, heat, or incinerate the battery. Do not subject the
battery to strong shocks or deform the barry by applying pressure. Doing
any of these may result in leakage, rupture, heat generation, or ignition of
the battery. Dispose of any battery that has been dropped on the floor or
otherwise subjected to excessive shock. Batteries that have been sub­jected to shock may leak if they are used.

• Always construct external circuits so that the power to the PLC it turned
ON before the power to the control system is turned ON. If the PLC power
supply is turned ON after the control power supply, temporary errors may
result in control system signals because the output terminals on DC Out­put Units and other Units will momentarily turn ON when power is turned
ON to the PLC.

• Fail-safe measures must be taken by the customer to ensure safety in the
event that outputs from Output Units remain ON as a result of internal cir­cuit failures, which can occur in relays, transistors, and other elements.

• If the I/O Hold Bit is turned ON, the outputs from the PLC will not be
turned OFF and will maintain their previous status when the PLC is
switched from RUN or MONITOR mode to PROGRAM mode. Make sure
that the external loads will not produce dangerous conditions when this
occurs. (When operation stops for a fatal error, including those produced
with the FALS(007) instruction, all outputs from Output Unit will be turned
OFF and only the internal output status will be maintained.)

Conformance to EC Directives 6

6 Conformance to EC Directives

6-1 Applicable Directives

•EMC Directives

• Low Voltage Directive

6-2 Concepts

EMC Directives

OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives also conform to the related
EMC standards so that they can be more easily built into other devices or the
overall machine. The actual products have been checked for conformity to
EMC standards (see the following note). Whether the products conform to the
standards in the system used by the customer, however, must be checked by
the customer.

EMC-related performance of the OMRON devices that comply with EC Direc­tives will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of
the equipment or control panel on which the OMRON devices are installed.
The customer must, therefore, perform the final check to confirm that devices
and the overall machine conform to EMC standards.

Note The applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standard is EN61131-2.

Low Voltage Directive

Always ensure that devices operating at voltages of 50 to 1,000 V AC and 75
to 1,500 V DC meet the required safety standards for the PLC (EN61131-2).

6-3 Conformance to EC Directives

The CP1L PLCs comply with EC Directives. To ensure that the machine or
device in which the CP1L PLC is used complies with EC Directives, the PLC
must be installed as follows:

1,2,3... 1. The CP1L PLC must be installed within a control panel.

2. You must use reinforced insulation or double insulation for the DC power
supplies used for I/O Units and CPU Units requiring DC power. The output
holding time must be 10 ms minimum for the DC power supply connected
to the power supply terminals on Units requiring DC power.

3. CP1L PLCs complying with EC Directives also conform to EN61131-2. Ra­diated emission characteristics (10-m regulations) may vary depending on
the configuration of the control panel used, other devices connected to the
control panel, wiring, and other conditions. You must therefore confirm that
the overall machine or equipment complies with EC Directives.

6-4 Relay Output Noise Reduction Methods

The CP1L PLCs conforms to the Common Emission Standards (EN61131-2)
of the EMC Directives. However, noise generated by relay output switching
may not satisfy these Standards. In such a case, a noise filter must be con­nected to the load side or other appropriate countermeasures must be pro­vided external to the PLC.

Countermeasures taken to satisfy the standards vary depending on the
devices on the load side, wiring, configuration of machines, etc. Following are
examples of countermeasures for reducing the generated noise.

xxxi

Conformance to EC Directives 6

Countermeasures

Countermeasures are not required if the frequency of load switching for the
whole system with the PLC included is less than 5 times per minute.

Countermeasures are required if the frequency of load switching for the whole
system with the PLC included is more than 5 times per minute.

Note Refer to EN61131-2 for more details.

Countermeasure Examples

When switching an inductive load, connect an surge protector, diodes, etc., in
parallel with the load or contact as shown below.

Circuit Current Characteristic Required element

AC DC

Yes Yes If the load is a relay or solenoid, there is

a time lag between the moment the cir­cuit is opened and the moment the load
is reset.

If the supply voltage is 24 or 48 V, insert
the surge protector in parallel with the
load. If the supply voltage is 100 to
200 V, insert the surge protector
between the contacts.

The capacitance of the capacitor must
be 1 to 0.5

µF per contact current of

1 A and resistance of the resistor must
be 0.5 to 1 Ω per contact voltage of 1 V.
These values, however, vary with the
load and the characteristics of the
relay. Decide these values from experi­ments, and take into consideration that
the capacitance suppresses spark dis­charge when the contacts are sepa­rated and the resistance limits the
current that flows into the load when
the circuit is closed again.

The dielectric strength of the capacitor
must be 200 to 300 V. If the circuit is an
AC circuit, use a capacitor with no
polarity.

No Yes The diode connected in parallel with

the load changes energy accumulated
by the coil into a current, which then
flows into the coil so that the current will
be converted into Joule heat by the
resistance of the inductive load.

This time lag, between the moment the
circuit is opened and the moment the
load is reset, caused by this method is
longer than that caused by the CR
method.

The reversed dielectric strength value
of the diode must be at least 10 times
as large as the circuit voltage value.
The forward current of the diode must
be the same as or larger than the load
current.

The reversed dielectric strength value
of the diode may be two to three times
larger than the supply voltage if the
surge protector is applied to electronic
circuits with low circuit voltages.

Yes Yes The varistor method prevents the impo-

sition of high voltage between the con­tacts by using the constant voltage
characteristic of the varistor. There is
time lag between the moment the cir­cuit is opened and the moment the load
is reset.

If the supply voltage is 24 or 48 V, insert
the varistor in parallel with the load. If
the supply voltage is 100 to 200 V,
insert the varistor between the con­tacts.
