CJ1-SERIES
A new strategy in machine control
Advanced Industrial Automation

To stay competitive in the machine building industry you have to be flexible, efficient and fast.
Omron’s C 1 series gives you this competitive edge. This new family of PLCs ranges from powerful
CPU models that offer total machine control, to very small CPUs that enable you to modularise
or ‘slice’ your machine into logical sections. You don’t even need to consider where to slice the
machine! Any I/O units can be mounted on any CPU, enabling you to distribute all the functions
you need to wherever you need them. And no matter how complex your machine becomes,
there’s always a CPU and a combination of I/Os to match your needs. It’s the ultimate in
machine sliceability and scalability!

was never so flexible!

Fast and easy to configure
C 1 modules connect together using reliable, high-quality
locking connectors. This eliminates the need for a bulky
PLC rack, and makes the C 1 fast and easy to configure
and install in control panels.

Seamless communication throughout
Built-in routing functions allow seamless communication over multiple network
layers. Programming and data transfer are fully transparent through open
networks like Ethernet, PROFIBUS-DP and DeviceNet, as well as Omron’s
cost-effective proprietary networks. C 1’s open communication units allow
the PLCs to communicate to nearly any 3rd party device.
Intelligence built-in
The core of intelligence of your machine control
system is the PLC CPU. The C 1-series CPUs range
from cost-effective units for simple sequence
control, to ultra-fast high-capacity models
handling up to 2560 I/O points. The main benefit
to you is that any PLC module can be mounted on
any CPU type. This reduces the number of different
product families for which you have to keep
modules in stock.

Analogue and digital I/O units
C 1 I/O units, ranging from basic to ultra-compact high-density
models, can be placed anywhere in the system, enabling you
to distribute all the functions you need, to wherever you
need them.
Control units
Specialised control units for motion control and
temperature control take the load off the CPU tasks
and allow for easy structured programming.
And Omron’s seamless communication allows fully
distributed machine control, configurable through
any access point in the network.

Omron’s supporting software suite
Omron’s CX-automation suite is designed to help you
unleash the power and flexibility of the C 1 series.
With these software tools you can configure, program,
commission, visualise and maintain all Omron’s PLCs,
and all using the same seamless communication.
You simply choose the software tools you need now,
and add other software components later.

When it comes to PLCs, Omron’s reputation for quality, reliability and advanced
technology is unsurpassed. The C 1 series is no exception. With C 1 you can mix and
match CPU power, special function units, and an extensive range of standard I/O units
to suit every machine automation need. With its credit-card size profile, C 1 offers the
best size/performance ratio in the industry. And without a separate back-plane,
the mounting space required is never more than the units you install.
