Omron’s vast experience in the field of
industrial automation has resulted in the
creation of the right products for your
applications, ranging from simple to more
complex automation solutions. The CP1 family
of micro programmable controllers provides
you with a complete product line-up to
automate a wide range of machines and
perform many simple automation tasks, quickly
and easily. Programming, configuration, and
maintenance are all within the same software
environment as other Omron PLCs. You are
guaranteed the same high quality and
reliability that you expect from any Omron
product, ensuring that your equipment delivers
continuous dependable performance.
Scalable solution
The CP1 family is scalable; this means that you can choose
the products with the right level of sophistication to meet
your automation needs in terms of functionality, flexibility
and pricing. Each of the CP1 family models, the CP1E, CP1L
and CP1H, offers the functionality required for complete
machine control.

Common Applications
3
Easy positioning, quick results
The CP1 family is the perfect choice for any application that requires positioning. Whether for
conveyor control, point-to-point position control, or non-interpolated pick-and-place systems,
the combination of high-speed pulse outputs, variable speed drive control and position
feedback will provide all the functionality that you need for your application.
Ideal for position control
When simplicity and ease of use are essential, there is
no better solution for your position applications than
combining the CP1 family with servos and inverters from
Omron’s extensive range. The SmartStep 2 Servo Drive is a
perfect partner and offers high performance while keeping
things simple and cost effective. Omron provides standard
functions and Function Blocks for SmartStep 2 and other
servo drives to create your application with minimal effort.
Phase A / Phase B pulse direction input mode
Easy variable speed drive control
Variable speed drive control is made easy within the CP1
family by using the serial port(s) and the Easy Modbus
Master feature for high-speed communication. Omron
Function Blocks enable you to control and monitor up to 31
inverters in real-time simply by configuration of parameters.
With the encoders connected to the high-speed counter
inputs, the CP1 is able to calculate the exact position to
perform accurate positioning easily and quickly. In addition,
in the MX2 inverter series, all simple positioning is handled
within the drive itself.

Saving you time
Omron’s software is renowned for its ease of use and intuitive style and CX-One is no exception. For many standard functions Omron
provides ready-to-use and tested Function Blocks that allow you to reduce your programming and testing time. With Function Blocks you
achieve faster, easier and more structured programming that can also increase machine functionality. Ladder programming still remains
the easiest language for many people to use, but for more complex mathematical calculations ‘Structured Text’ (ST) offers greater
flexibility. These languages are supported in the CP1L and CP1H.
