RFQ / Omron

Legacy, mature and current production. Send us the model number and we will tell you what we can do.

Omron turns up across New Zealand industry in packaging, food processing, discrete manufacturing and machine building. Plants that standardise on Omron tend to stay standardised on it, because the ecosystem is built to work as a whole from PLC to servo to safety relay.

That is good until a module fails on a platform Omron has moved on from. We supply the older CJ, CS, CQM1 and C200H ranges from surplus and tested used stock, and we quote current Sysmac hardware as a distributor.

The compatibility rule that matters most

Before anything else, understand this, because it decides whether a migration is a swap or a rebuild.

CJ1W I/O units work on CS1 racks. The two platforms share most of the I/O range, so a CJ1W module will generally run in a CS1 system. Worth confirming the specific part against the CS1 system manual, since a small number of unit types are CJ-only.

CJ1W I/O units do not work on NJ or NX at all. The Sysmac generation uses an entirely different EtherCAT-based I/O architecture. There is no adapter and no partial path.

So if you are moving a CJ or CS machine to NJ or NX, every I/O module is replaced. That is a rebuild, not an upgrade, and it should be budgeted as one.

If the machine has years left in it, keeping the CJ or CS system running on surplus spares is very often the cheaper answer. That is the work we are set up for.

The panel derating nobody applies

Worth its own note because it runs across two of the ranges above and explains a whole class of recurring failure.

A closed panel in a New Zealand plant room routinely exceeds 40 degrees C inside, and an outdoor cabinet in summer goes further.

So if one panel keeps losing relays or power supplies and the same models are fine elsewhere, measure the internal temperature before ordering another. The answer is usually a cooler panel, a higher rated part, or both.

How Omron model numbers work

Omron numbers are more readable than Allen-Bradley and less formulaic than Siemens. The front of the number gives you the platform, and the letters after the dash usually give you the function.

Example: CJ1W-ID211

The function letters

So CJ1W-OC211 is a relay output unit and CJ1W-AD081 is an analog input unit. The same letters carry across CS1W, CP1W, CQM1, C200H and NX ranges.

The output codes that catch people

On compact controllers the output type is in the number, and getting it wrong means nothing works.

The same DT and DT1 convention runs through CP1E, CP1L, CP1H and NX1P2. See the CP series page for the full explanation.

Backplane slot counts decode the same way across generations

On C200H and CS1, BC is a CPU backplane and BI is an expansion backplane, with the digits giving the slot count. A C200HW-BC101 is a 10 slot CPU backplane and a CS1W-BI053 is a 5 slot expansion backplane.

CJ, CP and CQM1 have no backplane at all. Units clip together directly.

What we do

Supply legacy and discontinued Omron. CQM1, CQM1H, C200H, CPM1, CS1, CJ1 and the older CJ1W and CS1W I/O, legacy NS terminals, G5 servo, 3G3MV inverters, S8VS and S8JX power supplies. New old stock, surplus and tested used.

Supply current production. Sysmac NJ and NX, NX I/O, CP1E and CP1L, NA and NB terminals, 1S servo, MX2 inverters, E5CC controllers, sensors, relays and safety. Quoted with a delivered lead time.

Buy your decommissioned equipment. If you are stripping a line, we will take the old hardware. See Sell To Us.

Common questions

Can you get a part that is not listed on your site?
Usually. The site shows what we hold, not what we can source. Send the model number.

Do you supply used equipment?
Yes, where new is not available. We say clearly what condition each item is in, and used items are tested before they ship.

Will a CJ1W module work in my NX system?
No. See the compatibility section above. CJ1W works on CS1 racks but not on NJ or NX.

Why do relays keep failing in one panel?
Often panel temperature. The socket derates to 60 percent above 40 degrees C.

What is the lead time?
Ex stock items ship the next working day within New Zealand. Sourced items depend on where they are. We give you a firm lead time with the quote, not after you have ordered.

Do you quote in NZD?
Yes, in NZD including GST for New Zealand customers.

Can you help identify a part from a photo?
Yes. Send a photo of the unit and the label.
