The Omron CP1W-8ET1 PLC Digital Output Expansion Unit provides 8 sourcing transistor outputs for adding electronic switching capacity to compatible Programmable Logic Controller systems. These outputs allow PLC control logic to operate additional compatible DC field devices when a compact number of extra output points is required. The module consumes 75 mA at 5 V and integrates with the CP1W expansion architecture while retaining the existing controller platform. Its eight-output configuration suits smaller machine-control applications that need additional sourcing transistor outputs without moving to a larger PLC configuration. The CP1W-8ET1 extends CP1W digital output capability and belongs to the 8-point sourcing PLC output range used across Omron machine control applications.
