The Omron C200H-AD001 Analog Input Module is a high-performance, multi-functional unit designed for seamless integration into the C200H series programmable logic controller (PLC) systems. It is engineered to convert analog signals—such as voltage or current—into digital binary data, enabling precise monitoring and control of analog processes within industrial automation environments.

Key Specifications and Features:

●Input Points: The module offers 4 analog input channels, all of which share a common signal range setting for streamlined configuration.

●Signal Range Selection: Users can select from a wide array of input signals, including 1–5V, 0–10V, –10 to +10V, and 4–20mA. This flexibility allows the module to interface with various sensors and transmitters commonly used in the field.

●Resolution: With a resolution of 1/4000 (equivalent to 12-bit conversion), the module ensures high-precision data acquisition, capturing fine variations in the analog input signal.

●Conversion Speed: Each channel achieves a conversion time of 2.5 ms or less, enabling rapid data updates for real-time control applications.

●External Connection: The module utilizes a detachable terminal block for external wiring, simplifying installation, maintenance, and field wiring changes.

Advanced Built-in Functions:

The C200H-AD001 is equipped with several intelligent software functions to enhance its utility and reduce programming overhead:

●Scaling Function: Allows direct conversion of input data into engineering units, such as pressure, temperature, or flow rate, without requiring additional programming.

●Averaging Function: Provides smoothing of input signals by calculating the average over a set number of samples, reducing the impact of noise or transient fluctuations.

●Peak Hold Function: Captures and retains the maximum (or minimum) value of the input signal over a specified period, useful for monitoring surge or transient events.

●Compensation and Gain Adjustment: Built-in offset and gain compensation functions enable calibration and fine-tuning of the input signal to match the characteristics of the connected sensor.

Additional Details:

●While the module is a 4-point unit, similar models in the C200H series support up to 8 input points with 12-bit data conversion, offering scalability for larger systems.

●The external wiring is facilitated via a connector interface, which supports secure and reliable connections for both voltage and current inputs.

●The module’s design prioritizes flexibility and ease of use, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, including process control, machine automation, and data acquisition systems.
