CS1W-MCH
Co-ordinating motion
Advanced Industrial Automation

With Omron’s new CS1W-MCH motion control unit, today’s manufacturers have the speed,
accuracy and flexibility they need for their motion control systems. CS1W-MCH is a PLC-based
advanced motion control unit that offers control of up to 30 axes. Its dedicated MechatroLink-II
high-speed motion bus provides instant communications between the motion controller and the
servo drives. And its powerful processor handles the multiple tasks and all of their parallel
programs every system cycle.
Motion control over multi-axes link
The CS1W-MCH motion controller is the perfect
solution for satisfying all your complex motion
application requirements, including packaging,
electronics, converting, food processing, textiles –
in fact any multi-axes application is solved and
integrated perfectly in a complete factory line.

Quick and easy
programming and
access to all
information via PC.

The perfect solution for:
• packaging
• electronics
• converting
• food processing
• textile
Easy information management system
Using Omron’s MCH-Tool you can create programs, read and
write system parameters and servo parameters, positional
data and cam data, and download or upload these to the
CS1W-MCH unit, seamlessly. You can also access the entire
system from one point - all you need is a laptop and Omron’s
software package to program the system!
Enhancing Omron’s W-series
The CS1W-MCH fits perfectly into the Omron’s renowned
W-series servo driver, bringing enhanced functionality to this
servo driver.
MechatroLink-II high-speed motion link
This high-speed interface replaces the costly discrete wiring
required with traditional systems. Just one MechatroLink-II
cable eliminates the need for about 15 for each axis, which
simplifies wiring, and reduces the cost and time needed for
installation. It also means that maintenance and
troubleshooting are minimised. With a frequency of 10 MHz,
the MechatroLink-II link provides communication cycle times
of 0.5 ms for 4 axes, to 4 ms for 30 axes, ensuring fast,
precise motion control.
Multi-tasking
With CS1W-MCH you can have up to eight different motion
program tasks running simultaneously, and every program
accepts up to eight parallel branches. All the branches in all
tasks will be executed every system cycle.
Operates using BASIC language
The motion program is written in a simple-to-use BASIC
language, making the system easy to design, install and
commission. The CS1W-MCH can be used in applications
involving cam curve creation, gearing and synchronising axes.
