Like our popular C200H/HS mid-size PLC series, Omron’s new C200Hα
series offers the advantages of large PLC performance and I/O versatility
in a mid-size PLC package and price range. But there’s more to the
new C200Hα series—a lot more.
Improvements to the existing series, such as greater memory capacity
and faster processing speed, strengthen the C200Hα series’ capabilities
as a controller. Newly added features, such as a protocol macro and
an optional PCMCIA Card Module, transform the C200Hα series
into a powerful on-site data processing system—and transforms
your workplace into a highly responsive, information-based operation.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The New C200Hα Series:
Powerful Mid-Sized Machine Control, Powerful Onsite Data Processing
Migrate Easily
While the functions and capabilities of the
C200Hα series have been dramatically
enhanced, common languages and I/O
units allow smooth migration from
C200H/HS PLCs.
Improved Special
I/O Modules
The maximum number of Special I/O
Modules that can be mounted on the CPU
has been increased from 10 to 16 modules.
You can easily manage a control system
with the right combination of Special I/O
Modules.
The intelligent I/O read and intelligent I/O
write instructions can be executed to
transfer more than one word of data. All
of the C200HS Special I/O Modules can
be used without any modification. In
addition, a PC Card Module, Motion
Control Module, and Two-axis High-speed
Counter Module have been added.
Interface to Memory
or Ethernet via PC
Card Module
The
PC Card Module
provides two
PCMCIA interface slots. Either two type I
or II or one type III PC card can be installed.
The system accepts SRAM, FLASH and
ATA cards.
PC File Operations:
C200HX/HG/HE
memory contents may be written to
memory cards as files using ladder-
diagram instructions. File contents can be
compared and searched and word data
can be separated by commas in the file
format so that commercially available
spreadsheets may be used.
Ethernet Connection:
Using an Ethernet
PCMCIA card, data may be exchanged
using Omron’s FINS protocol via UDP/IP.
A Built-in Protocol
Macro Function
Previously, it was necessary to write a
communications program for the ASCII
Module or BASIC Module whenever a
measurement device or component was
connected to the PLC. The C200H Alpha
PLCs are equipped with the Protocol
Macro Function which incorporates these
communications programs into the ladder
program with just a few ladder instructions.
A variety of workplace data can be
processed in real-time improving quality
and reducing total product cost. System
development time can be reduced
substantially.
