Configured for discrete machine control in the OMRON CP2E PLC platform, the OMRON CP2E-E60DR-A (CP2E-E Programmable Controller) provides 36 digital inputs and 24 relay outputs in a 60-point CPU Unit. It uses a 100 to 240 VAC supply and provides 4K steps of program capacity and 4K words of DM Area capacity.

Model Configuration

The CP2E-E60DR-A is the 60-point relay-output configuration of the CP2E-E Essential family. OMRON specifies 36 inputs, 24 relay outputs, 4K-step program capacity and 4K words of DM Area capacity for this model.

Hardware Specifications

OMRON specifies the 60-point CP2E CPU Unit dimensions as 90 mm x 80 mm x 195 mm and maximum weight as 780 g. The same specification table gives 50 VA maximum at 100 VAC and 70 VA maximum at 240 VAC for 30/40/60-point AC CPU Units.

I/O Density and CPU Processing

The CP2E-E60DR-A integrates 60 I/O points directly into the CPU Unit, divided into 36 inputs and 24 relay outputs. The E-type uses a 4K-step program area and 4K words of DM Area memory. Its execution architecture uses stored-program control with cyclic scan and immediate refreshing of I/O.

For expansion, the 60-point CP2E configuration can connect up to three CP1W-series Expansion I/O Units or Expansion Units. With three 40-point expansion units, the specified maximum system capacity is 180 I/O points.

The CPU instruction timing is specified at 0.23 us for LD instructions and 1.76 us for MOV instructions, with an overhead processing time of 0.1 ms for the CP2E-E type.
