The Omron CP1W-20EDT PLC Expansion I/O Unit adds digital output capacity to compatible Programmable Logic Controller systems used for machine automation and industrial control. Its output section provides 8 sinking transistor outputs for electronically switching compatible DC field devices according to PLC control logic. The module consumes 130 mA at 5 V and integrates with the CP1W expansion architecture when additional output points are required beyond those available on the controller. This allows the control system to grow with changing machine I/O requirements while retaining the existing PLC platform. The CP1W-20EDT belongs to the CP1W Series and forms part of the sinking transistor PLC output range used with Omron machine automation systems.
