About this Manual:

The CPM2A is a compact, high-speed Programmable Controller (PC) designed for control operations in
systems requiring from 10 to 120 I/O points per PC. There are two manuals describing the setup and
operation of the CPM2A: The CPM2A Operation Manual (this manual) and the CPM1/CPM1A/CPM2A/

CPM2C/SRM1(-V2) Programming Manual (W353). (The CPM1/CPM1A/CPM2A/CPM2C/SRM1(-V2)
Programming Manual is referred to as simply the Programming Manual in this manual.)

This manual describes the system configuration and installation of the CPM2A and provides a basic
explanation of operating procedures for the Programming Consoles. It also introduces the capabilities of
CX-Programmer, the SYSMAC Support Software (SSS) and SYSMAC-CPT Support Software. Read this
manual first to acquaint yourself with the CPM2A.

The Programming Manual (W353) provides detailed descriptions of the CPM2A’s programming functions
and application methods for Expansion Units. The SYSMAC Support Software Operation Manuals:
Basics and C-series PCs (W247 and W248) provide descriptions of SSS operations for the CPM2A and
other SYSMAC C-series PCs. The WS02-CXPjj-E CX-Programmer Operation Manual (W414) pro­vides details of operations for the WS02-CXPjj-E CX-Programmer. The SYSMAC-CPT Support Soft-
ware Quick Start Guide (W332) and User Manual (W333) provide descriptions of ladder diagram opera­tions in the Windows environment.

Please read this manual carefully and be sure you understand the information provided before attempting
to install and operate the CPM2A.

Section 1 gives a brief overview of the steps involved in developing of a CPM2A System, describes the

5Safety Precautions

WARNING It is extremely important that a PC and all PC Units be used for the specified

!

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 PC 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, in order to ensure safety in the system
if an abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the PC or another external factor
affecting the PC operation. Not doing so may result in serious accidents.

xvi

• Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety

measures must be provided in external control circuits.

• The PC 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.

Operating Environment Precautions

• The PC outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposition 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-VDC output (service power supply to the PC) 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 When transferring programs to other nodes, or when making changes to I/O

!

memory, confirm the safety of the destination node before transfer. Not doing so
may result in injury.

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 Tighten the screws on the terminal block of the AC Power Supply Unit to the

!

torque specified in the operation manual. The loose screws may result in burning
or malfunction.

4

Caution When connecting the PC to a personal computer or other peripheral device, ei-

!

ther ground the 0-V side of the PC or do not ground the PC at all. Although some
grounding methods short the 24-V side, as shown in the following diagram, nev­er do so with the PC.

the specifications.

• Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in tempera-

ture.

• 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.

Peripheral device

Caution Take appropriate and sufficient countermeasures when installing systems in the

!

following locations:

xvii

• 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 PC System can have a large effect on the lon-

!

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

5 Application Precautions

Observe the following precautions when using the PC System.

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

!

could lead to serious or possibly fatal injury.

• Always connect to a ground such that the grounding resistance does not ex­ceed 100 Ω when installing the Units. Not connecting to the correct ground
may result in electric shock.

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

• Mounting or dismounting I/O Units, CPU Units, or any other Units.

• Assembling the Units.

• Setting DIP switches or rotary switches.

• Connecting or wiring the cables.

• Connecting or disconnecting the connectors.

5Application Precautions

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

!

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

• 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.

• Construct a control circuit so that power supply for the I/O circuits does not
come ON before power supply for the Unit. If power supply for the I/O circuits
comes ON before power supply for the Unit, normal operation may be tempo­rarily interrupted.

• If the operating mode is changed from RUN or MONITOR mode to PROGRAM
mode, with the IOM Hold Bit ON, the output will hold the most recent status. In
such a case, ensure that the external load does not exceed specifications. (If
operation is stopped because of an operation error (including FALS instruc­tions), the values in the internal memory of the CPU Unit will be saved, but the
outputs will all turn OFF.)

• 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.

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

Application Precautions

5

• 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.

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

• Install the Unit properly as specified in the operation manual. Improper installa­tion of the Unit may result in malfunction.

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

• Be sure to leave the labels attached at the time of shipment on the CPM1 or
CPM2A when wiring in order to prevent wiring cuttings from entering the Unit.

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

• Be sure to perform wiring in accordance with the relevant operation manual.
Incorrect wiring may result in burning.

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

• Double-check all the wiring before turning ON the power supply. Incorrect wir­ing may result in burning.

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

• Be sure that terminal blocks and connectors are connected in the specified di­rection with the correct polarity. Not doing so may result in malfunction.

• Check the user program for proper execution before actually running it on the
Unit. Not checking the program 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 PC.

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

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

• Resume operation only after transferring to the new CPU Unit the contents of

the DM and HR Areas required for resuming operation. Not doing so may result
in an unexpected operation.

• 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.

• Do not short the battery terminals or charge, disassemble, heat, or incinerate

the battery. Do not subject the battery to strong shocks. 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.

• 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 build-up. Not doing so may result in malfunction or
damage.

• Do not touch the expansion I/O connecting cable while the power is being sup­plied in order to prevent any malfunction due to static electricity.

xix

• When using a thermocouple-input type Temperature Sensor Unit, observe the
following precautions:

• Do not remove the cold junction compensator attached at the time of deliv-

ery. If the cold junction compensator is removed the Unit will not be able to
measure temperatures correctly.

• Each of the input circuits is calibrated with the cold junction compensator

attached to the Unit. If the Unit is used with the cold junction compensator
from other Units, the Unit will not be able to measure temperatures cor­rectly.

• Do not touch the cold junction compensator. Doing so may result in incor-

rect temperature measurement.

6 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.

6EC Directives

Note Applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:

EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility): EN61131-2
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): EN61000-6-4

Low Voltage Directive

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

6-3 Conformance to EC Directives

The CPM2A PCs comply with EC Directives. To ensure that the machine or de­vice in which the CPM2A PC is used complies with EC directives, the PC must be
installed as follows:

1, 2, 3... 1. The CPM2A PC must be installed within a control panel.

2. Reinforced insulation or double insulation must be used for the DC power
supplies used for the communications and I/O power supplies.

3. CPM2A PCs complying with EC Directives also conform to the Common
Emission Standard (EN61000-6-4). 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.

(Radiated emission: 10-m regulations)

EC Directives

6-4 Relay Output Noise Reduction Methods

The CPM2A PCs conform to the Common Emission Standards (EN61000-6-4)
of the EMC Directives. However, the noise generated when the PC is switched
ON or OFF using the relay output 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 PC.

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.

Countermeasures

(Refer to EN61000-6-4 for more details.)

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

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

by the coil into a current, which then
flows into the coil so that the current

the resistance of the inductive load.

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 to 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.

6EC Directives

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.

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.

1-1 CPM2A Features and Functions

1-1-1 CPM2A Features

The CPM2A PCs incorporate a variety of features in a compact Unit, including
synchronized pulse control, interrupt inputs, pulse outputs, analog settings, and
a clock function. Also, the CPM2A CPU Unit is a stand-alone Unit that can han­dle a broad range of machine control applications, so it is ideal for use as a built­in control unit in equipment.

The full complement of communications functions provide communications with
personal computers, other OMRON PCs, and OMRON Programmable Termi­nals. These communications capabilities allow the user to design a low-cost dis­tributed production system.

1-1SectionCPM2A Features and Functions

The CPU Unit contains 20, 30, 40, or 60 I/O points and
Expansion I/O Units can be added to provide a total I/O
capacity of up to 120 I/O points. Analog I/O Units, Tem­perature Sensor Units, CompoBus/S I/O Link Units, and
DeviceNet I/O Link Units can also be connected.

Peripheral Port
Programming Devices are compatible with
other models of OMRON PCs. This port
can also be used for Host Link or no-proto­col communications.

The CPM2A PCs are one-piece PCs with 20, 30, 40, or 60 built-in I/O terminals.
There are 3 types of outputs available (relay outputs, sinking transistor outputs,
and sourcing transistor outputs) and 2 types of power supplies available
(100/240 VAC or 24 VDC).

Up to 3 Expansion I/O Units can be connected to the CPU Unit to increase the
PC’s I/O capacity to a maximum of 120 I/O points. There are 3 types of Expan­sion I/O Units available: a 20-point I/O Unit, an 8-point Input Unit, and an 8-point
Output Unit. The maximum I/O capacity of 120 I/O points is achieved by con­necting three 20-point I/O Units to a CPU Unit with 60 built-in I/O terminals.

RS-232C Port
This port can be used for a Host Link,
no-protocol, 1:1 PC Link, or 1:1 NT Link
communications.

Up to 3 Analog I/O Units can be connected to provide analog inputs and outputs.
Each Unit provides 2 analog inputs and 1 analog output, so a maximum of 6 ana­log inputs and 3 analog outputs can be achieved by connecting 3 Analog I/O
Units.

CompoBus/S I/O Link
Units

CompoBus/S I/O Link Units can be connected to make the CPM2A a Slave De­vice in a CompoBus/S Network. The I/O Link Unit has 8 input bits (internal) and
8 output bits (internal).

The CompoBus/S Network provides distributed CPU control based on a “PC +
compact PC” configuration, which is an improvement on the earlier distributed
I/O control based on a “PC + remote I/O” configuration. The distributed CPU
control makes equipment modular, so designs can be standardized, special
needs can be addressed, and modules can be replaced easily in the event of a
breakdown.

Share Programming
Devices

The same Programming Devices, such as Programming Consoles and Support
Software, can be used for the C200H, C200HS, C200HX/HG/HE, CQM1,
CPM1, CPM1A, CPM2C, and SRM1 (-V2) PCs, so existing ladder program re­sources can be used effectively.

Built-in Motor Control Capability

Synchronized Pulse
Control
(Transistor Outputs Only)

High-speed Counters and
Interrupts

Synchronized pulse control provides an easy way to synchronize the operation
of a peripheral piece of equipment with the main equipment. The output pulse
frequency can be controlled as some multiple of the input pulse frequency, al­lowing the speed of a peripheral piece of equipment (such as a supply conveyor)
to be synchronized with the speed of the main piece of equipment.

The CPM2A has a total of five high-speed counter inputs. The one high-speed
counter input has a response frequency of 20 kHz/5 kHz and the four interrupt
inputs (in counter mode) have a response frequency of 2 kHz.

The high-speed counter can be used in any one of the four input modes: differen­tial phase mode (5 kHz), pulse plus direction input mode (20 kHz), up/down
pulse mode (20 kHz), or increment mode (20 kHz). Interrupts can be triggered
when the count matches a set value or falls within a specified range.

The interrupt inputs (counter mode) can be used for incrementing counters or
decrementing counters (2 kHz) and trigger an interrupt (executing the interrupt
program) when the count matches the target value.

Encoder

CPM2A

Motor driver Motor

Pulses are output as a fixed multiple of the input frequency.

Easy Position Control
with Pulse Outputs
(Transistor Outputs Only)

CPM2A PCs with transistor outputs have two outputs that can produce 10 Hz to
10 kHz pulses (single-phase outputs).

When used as single-phase pulse outputs, there can be two outputs with a fre­quency range of 10 Hz to 10 kHz with a fixed duty ratio or 0.1 to 999.9 Hz with a
variable duty ratio (0 to 100% duty ratio).

When used as pulse plus direction or up/down pulse outputs, there can be just
one output with a frequency range of 10 Hz to 10 kHz.

High-speed Input Capabilities for Machine Control

High-speed Interrupt
Input Function

Quick-response Input
Function

Stabilizing Input Filter
Function

There are four inputs used for interrupt inputs (shared with quick-response in­puts and interrupt inputs in counter mode) with a minimum input signal width of
50 µs and response time of 0.3 ms. When an interrupt input goes ON, the main
program is stopped and the interrupt program is executed.

There are four inputs used for quick-response inputs (shared with interrupt in­puts and interrupt inputs in counter mode) that can reliably read input signals
with a signal width as short as 50 µs.

The input time constant for all inputs can be set to 1 ms, 2 ms, 3 ms, 5 ms,
10 ms, 20 ms, 40 ms, or 80 ms. The effects of chattering and external noise can
be reduced by increasing the input time constant.

Other Functions

Interval Timer Interrupts

The interval timer can be set between 0.5 and 319,968 ms and can be set to gen­erate just one interrupt (one-shot mode) or periodic interrupts (scheduled inter­rupt mode).

Analog Settings

4

There are two controls on the CPU Unit that can be turned to change the analog
settings (0 to 200 BCD) in IR 250 and IR 251. These controls can be used to eas-

1-1SectionCPM2A Features and Functions

ily change or fine-tune machine settings such as a conveyor belt’s pause time or
feed rate.

Calendar/Clock

The built-in clock (accuracy within 1 minute/month) can be read from the pro­gram to show the current year, month, day, day of the week, and time. The clock
can be set from a Programming Device (such as a Programming Console) or the
time can be adjusted by rounding up or down to the nearest minute.

Long-term Timer

TIML(––) is a long-term timer that accommodates set values up to 99,990 sec­onds (27 hours, 46 minutes, 30 seconds). When combined with the SECONDS
TO HOURS conversion instruction (HMS(––)), the long-term timer provides an
easy way to control equipment scheduling.

Analog PID Control

The PID(––) instruction can be used with an Analog I/O Unit to control analog
I/O.

Complete Communications Capabilities

Host Link

1:1 Host Link Communications

A Host Link connection can be made through the PC’s RS-232C port or Periph­eral port. A personal computer or Programmable Terminal (only for 1:1 commu­nications) connected in Host Link mode can be used for operations such as
reading/writing data in the PC’s I/O memory or reading/changing the PC’s oper­ating mode.

Exchanges 32 input bits and 32 output bits of data with the DeviceNet Master Unit.

1-1SectionCPM2A Features and Functions

Note 1. These four inputs are shared by interrupt inputs, interrupt inputs in counter

mode, and quick-response inputs, but each input can be used for only one
purpose.

2. This input is shared by the high-speed counter and synchronized pulse con­trol functions.

3. This output is shared by the pulse output and synchronized pulse control
functions. These functions can be used with transistor outputs only.

1-2-2 CPU Unit, Expansion Units, and Expansion I/O Units

Up to 3 Expansion Units or Expansion I/O Units can be connected to the expan­sion connector with expansion I/O connecting cables. (Only one Expansion Unit
or Expansion I/O Unit can be connected if an NT-AL001 Adapter is connected to
the RS-232C port because the CPU Unit’s 5-VDC power supply is limited.)

There are four types of Units available: Expansion I/O Units, an Analog I/O Unit,
Temperature Sensor Units, a CompoBus/S I/O Link Unit, and a DeviceNet I/O
Link Unit.
