The CPM1A is a compact, high-speed Programmable Controller (PLC) designed for control operations in
systems requiring from 10 to 100 I/O points per PLC. There are three manuals describing the setup and
operation of the CPM1A: the CPM1A with AC Inputs Operation Manual (P12FAZ1), the CPM1A OperationManual (W317) and the CQM1/CPM1/CPM1A/SRM1 Programming Manual (W228).
This manual describes the system configuration and installation of the CPM1A with AC Inputs and provides a basic explanation of operating procedures for the Programming Consoles. It also introduces the
capabilities of the SYSMAC Support Software (SSS). Read this manual first to acquaint yourself with the
CPM1A with AC Inputs.
The CQM1/CPM1/CPM1A/SRM1 Programming Manual (W228) provides detailed descriptions of the
CPM1A’s programming functions. The SYSMAC Support Software Operation Manuals: Basics and C- se-ries PLCs (W247 and W248) provide descriptions of SSS operations for the CPM1A and other SYSMAC
C-series PLCs. The SYSMAC- CPT Support Software 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 provide before attempting
to install and operate the CPM1A.
Section 1 gives a brief overview of the steps involved in developing of a CPM1A System, describes the
possible system configurations, and describes the CPM1A’s special features and functions.
Section 2 provides the technical specifications of the Units that go together to create a CPM1A PLC and
describes the main components of the Units.
Section 3 describes how to install and wire a CPM1A PLC.
Section 4 describes SSS capabilities, how to connect the Programming Console, and how to perform the
various Programming Console operations.
Section 5 describes how to perform a test run and how to diagnose and correct the hardware and soft-
ware errors that can occur during PLC operation.
Appendix A provides tables of CPM1A Units and related products.
Appendix B provides the dimensions of CPM1A Units.

Neverattempt to disassemble any Units whilepower is being supplied. Doingso
may result in serious electrical shock or electrocution.
Never touch any of the terminals while power is being supplied. Doing so may
result in serious electrical shock or electrocution.
The PLC system is provided as “open equipment.” There are live terminals
which must be enclosed to provide the appropriate level of protection from the
risk of electric shock.

• The user program and memory area data in the CPM1A are backed up either
by an internal capacitor or in flash memory as shown in the following table.

details on the PC Setup later in this manual for details.)
2. Thebits in the AR and SR areas have special functions and are set according to these functions when power is turned on.
• The capacitor backup time depends on the ambient temperature, as shown in
the following graph. The backup time, however,assumes that the capacitor is

If the power remains off for a period exceeding the data backup period,
AR 1314 will turn ON to indicate that the capacitor can no longer back up data
and the data backed up by the capacitor will be cleared. AR 1314 will remain
ON unless it is turned OFF using I/O monitor operations, using memory clear
operations, or from the user program.
If desired, the PC Setup setting in DM 6604 can be set to create a fatal error
and thus stop the system when AR 1314 goes ON.
• The data stored in flash memory will not be lost even if power remains off for a
period exceeding the data backup period, because the data stored in flash
memory will be read to the CPU Unit when the CPM1A is turned on.

SECTION 1
Introduction
ThissectiondescribestheCPM1A ’sspecialfeaturesandfunctionsandshowsthepossiblesystemconfigurations.Referto the
Programming Manual (W228) for details on programming actual operation.
One- piece ConstructionThe CPM1A CPU AC-Input Units feature a one-piece construction including 20,
or 32 built-in I/O terminals. These units are available in relay output models only.
CPM1A-20CAR-A
(20 I/O terminals)
Extra I/O CapacityUp to three Expansion I/O Modules can be connected to a CPM1A-32CAR-A
CPU Unit to add an extra 20 I/O points for each, for a maximum of up to 92 I/O
points.
Input Filter FunctionThe CPM1A is equipped with a filter function to prevent incorrect operation
caused by chatter or noise in the input signal. The user can select an input time
constant of 1 ms, 2 ms, 4 ms, 8 ms, 16 ms, 32 ms, 64 ms, or 128 ms.
Low- maintenance DesignFlash memory provides memory backup without a battery.
Input InterruptsThe CPM1A-20CAR-A and CPM1A-32CAR-A CPU Units can handle 4 interrupt
inputs. In addition to normal input interrupts, the CPM1A has a counter mode
that counts high-speed input signals and triggers interrupts at fixed count multiples.
Quick- response InputsQuick-response inputs can detect input signals with a pulse width as short as
5 ms regardless of their timing during the PLC cycle. Quick-response inputs and
interrupt inputs use the same input terminals.
CPM1A-32CAR-A
(32 I/O terminals)
Interval TimerCPM1A PLCs have a high-speed interval timer which can be set from 5 ms to
319,968 ms. The timer can be set to trigger a single interrupt (one-shot mode) or
repeat scheduled interrupts (scheduled interrupt mode).
High- speed CounterCPM1A PLCs have a high-speed counter that can be used in incremental mode
or up/down mode. The high-speed counter can be combined with input interrupts to perform target value control or zone comparison control that isn’t affected by the PLC’s cycle time.
Analog Setting FunctionThe CPM1A PLCs have 2 analog volume controls that can be used to make
manual analog settings.
Host Link CommunicationsThe CPM1A PLCs are compatible with the Host Link, which allows communica-
tions with personal computers. The CPM1A using the Host Link can also communicate with Programmable Terminal using host link commands.
An RS-232C Adapter is used for 1-to-1 communications and an RS-422 Adapter
is used for 1-to-n communications.
1- to-1 LinkA data link can be created with a data area in another CPM1A, CQM1, CPM1,
SRM1 or C200HS or C200HX/HE/HG PLC. An RS-232C Adapter is used to
make the 1-to-1 connection.
NT Link CommunicationsHigh-speed operations can be achieved by providing a direct access by con-
necting the CPM1A to the OMRON Programmable Terminal through the NT Link
Interface. An RS-232C Adapter is used for this connection.
Standard Peripheral DevicesThe CPM1A uses the same Programming Consoles and SYSMAC Support
Software (SSS) as the C200H/HS, C200HX/HE/HG, CPM1, SRM1, and CQM1
PLCs.

Analog Setting FunctionCPM1A PLCs have 2 variable-resistor adjustment knobs used to control analog
timer and counter settings manually. When one of the adjustments is turned, the
content of the corresponding IR word is set automatically between 0 and 200
(BCD).
Turn the adjustment knob with a Phillips screwdriver.

Input Filter FunctionThe input time constant for the CPM1A’s external inputs can be set to 1, 2, 4, 8,
16, 32, 64, or 128 ms. Increasing the input time constant can reduce the effects
of chatter or noise in the input signal. Typically, for AC inputs, the delay is set to
the default, 8 ms.

CPM1A Features and FunctionsSection 1- 1
Input InterruptsThe CPM1A-20CAR--A and CPM1A-32CAR--A have 4 interrupt input terminals.
There are two modes for input interrupts: input interrupt mode and counter
mode.
1, 2, 3...1. When an interrupt occurs in Input Interrupt Mode, the main program is inter-
rupted and the interrupt program is executed immediately, regardless of the
cycle time.
2. In Counter Mode, external input signals are counted at high speed (up to
20 Hz) and an interrupt is generated each time the count reaches the set
value. When an interrupt occurs, the main program is interrupted and the
interrupt program is executed. The set value can be set from 0 to 65,535.
The following diagram shows the program execution when an interrupt occurs.

Quick- response InputsThe CPM1A-20CAR-A and CPM1A-32CAR-A PLCs have 4 quick-response in-
put terminals. (The same terminals are used for quick-response inputs and interrupt inputs.)
