Omron IDS21 High Density Input Module ID Sensor Unit C200H-IDS21

Omron C200H-IDS21 High-Density Input Module ID Sensor Unit

The Omron C200H-IDS21 is a high-density input module designed for seamless integration into Omron’s C200H series Programmable Controllers (PCs). This module serves as a non-contact identification system, enabling efficient data exchange between the controller and moving workpieces.

Key Features

• Non-Contact Identification: Utilizes a Read/Write (R/W) Head or Antenna to communicate with Data Carriers mounted on workpieces, facilitating data reading and writing without physical contact.
• Dedicated Commands: Equipped with seven specific commands to streamline operations and enhance system efficiency.
• Error Information Storage: Capable of storing error information, aiding in diagnostics and maintenance.
• External Monitoring: Supports external monitoring, allowing for real-time observation and control of system operations.

System Configuration

The C200H-IDS21 system comprises three main components:

1. ID Sensor Unit: Mounted directly onto the C200H Programmable Controller.
2. Read/Write Head or Antenna: Connected to the ID Sensor Unit via a cable, positioned within the communication range of the Data Carrier’s travel path.
3. Data Carrier: Attached to the moving workpiece or workpiece carrier, facilitating data exchange during movement.

In operation, the ID Sensor Unit communicates with the Data Carrier through the R/W Head or Antenna, executing read and write commands as directed by the user program in the PC’s CPU. System performance can be monitored and tested using a Handheld Programming Console, which displays relevant messages for user reference.
