the production site.
higher) in comparison with three levels
in previous OMRON systems
Expansion up to eight levels lets you
build a seamless communications
system for sending FINS messages
across multiple levels of Ethernet and
Controller Link networks.
Note: For CPU Unit Ver. 2.0 or later.
A Wide Range of Systems,
from Small-scale to Large
OMRON offers a full lineup of reliable
PLCs including the "flagship" CS1
Series, and ranging from the small-
scale CQM1H to the large-scale CV
Series. The CS1 Series meets the needs
not only of small-scale to large-scale
systems, but of distributed systems as
well. This allows the construction of the
optimum system for the scale and
applications of the production site.
High Event Responsiveness and High-speed Instruction Execution
The new CS1 has an operating mode
that allows parallel processing for
program execution and peripheral
services. This has the following benefits.
Fast exchange with host computers of
large amounts of data, without
dependence on the program capacity of
the new CS1.
Smooth refreshing of data exchanged
with SCADA software without variations
in timing.
Cycle time not affected if communications
traffic or networks increase when
expanding facilities in the future.
Peripheral service
Peripheral services cannot
be executed in shorter period
than cycle time.

Flexible System Building
Based on the DeviceNet
The CS1 Series supports the worldwide
multivendor bus standard, DeviceNet.
Component connections in a
multivendor environment are greatly
enhanced by connecting to up to 64
nodes for a wide range of FA
applications, and by device profiles and
configurator tools that ensure high
reliability and easy maintenance.
Production systems can be configured
even more flexibly by incorporating
products such as the MULTIPLE I/O
TERMINAL.
Functions for Better Ethernet
Support
Ethernet is becoming an increasingly
important standard for information
networks. Up to eight socket interfaces
for TCP/IP and UDP/IP are supported, in
addition to FINS messages, FTP file
transfers, and mail notification, so that
production management can now be
organically linked with the production
site.

Remote Monitoring via the Web
Connecting via an ONC enables remote
monitoring from a Web browser with a
user-defined Web application (using
Web Tool Kit). It is also possible to
automatically collect data on a Memory
Card mounted to an ONC and
automatically transfer data to the host
PLC (using Data Collection/Distribution
Software).
