Controllers
DeviceNet: Component Network
Create a multi-vendor network for multibit communications for lower-
level PLCs that need to handle both control signals and data.
Remote I/O Communications
Large-capacity remote I/O can be freely allocated according to appli-
cation needs.
Select from a Wide Range of Slaves (Connection Possible
to Data-intensive Devices)
Connect contact I/O, analog I/O, temperature inputs, sensor (photo-
electric or proximity) inputs, and small PLCs (e.g., CQM1).
Message Communications
Send FINS messages between OMRON PLCs and Explicit message
between OMRON PLCs and devices from other makers.
Use MULTIPLE I/O TERMINALs as DeviceNet Slaves
I/O can be expanded through one-step connections. Special I/O and
explicit messages are also supported.
Connect to DeviceNet Products from Other Manufacturers
CompoBus/S: High-speed ON/OFF Bus
Construct a high-speed remote I/O system under the PLC to reduce
wiring for sensors and actuators inside machines.
High-speed Remote Communications at 1 ms or Less
In the High-speed Communication Mode, you can link up to 32 slaves
(up to 128 input and 128 output points) with a high-speed communica-
tions cycle of 1 ms or less (0.5 ms with up to 16 slaves, 64 input and
64 output points).
High-speed and Long-distance Communications Modes
A switch enables switching between the previous High-speed and a
new Long-distance Communications Mode.
• High-speed Mode: 100-m communications distance at 750 Kbits/s
(with 2-conductor VCTF cable)
• Long-distance Mode: 500-m communications distance at 93.75 kbits/
s (with 2-conductor VCTF cable)
Reduced Wiring with Special Cables
Connect with special Flat Cables or VCTF Cables.
A Slave for Essential Any Application
Contact I/O, Contact I/O Modules, Photoelectric/Proximity Sensor
Input Slaves are provided along with Analog Input and Analog Output
Slaves.
No-restriction Branching in Long-distance
Communications Mode
With special Flat Cables or 4-conductor VCTF Cables, you can branch
and wire in any required structure for up to a total distance of 200 m.
