Omron CP1W-TS002 CP1 Series Temperature Sensor Unit

Description

Designed for direct integration with Omron CP-series PLC architectures, the Omron CP1W-TS002 temperature sensor expansion unit expands system capability by providing dedicated high-accuracy thermocouple measurement channels. This module interfaces directly with CP1H, CP1L, and CP1E CPU units, enabling precise thermal monitoring without requiring external signal transmitters. The unit supports up to four thermocouple inputs, which can be configured for either Type K or Type J sensors to meet specific application requirements. Featuring reliable galvanic isolation via photocouplers between input channels and internal PLC logic, the unit ensures stable operation and high noise immunity in demanding electrical environments.

Key Features

• Four Dedicated Inputs: Supports up to four thermocouple channels on a single expansion slot.
• Selectable Sensor Types: Field-switchable between Type K and Type J thermocouple inputs.
• High-Speed Conversion: Complete sampling conversion cycle of 250 milliseconds for active channels.
• Electrical Isolation: Integrated photocouplers shield the internal logic from field-side electrical surges and ground loops.
• 16-Bit Resolution: Converts thermal data into precise 16-bit binary values (4-digit hexadecimal format).

Applications

• Plastic extrusion and injection molding barrel temperature regulation.
• Industrial heat treatment furnaces and packaging sealing-jaw control.
• Environmental chambers and climate control system integration.
• Food processing and baking oven thermal profile monitoring.

Empirical Engineering Insights

Alternative Models & Compatibility

The CP1W-TS002 replaces the lower-density CP1W-TS001 (which supports only two inputs) in systems requiring scale expansions. It fits seamlessly on the right side of any CP1H, CP1L, or CP1E CPU module. Note that CP-series expansion units are not compatible with older C200H or CJ-series backplanes.

Application Pitfalls & Engineering Notes

All four input channels must use the same thermocouple type (either all Type K or all Type J). Mixing sensor types on a single CP1W-TS002 module is not supported and will result in incorrect conversion values. Unused inputs should be configured or physically wired to avoid open-circuit fault flags in the PLC error log.

Commissioning & Wiring Tips

Sensor type selection is managed via DIP switches located beneath the module's protective terminal cover. These hardware configurations must be set while the PLC system is completely powered down. The CPU will not register DIP switch state modifications made during active run-time operations.
