Overview
The OMRON CS1W-PRM21 is a high-performance PROFIBUS-DP Master Unit designed for the CS1 series PLCs. It efficiently exchanges I/O data and communication information between field devices and the CPU, ensuring smooth and stable industrial network control. By processing data independently of the CPU, this unit significantly reduces system load and improves response speed.
Engineered to meet the EN50170 Volume 2 and IEC61158 standards, the CS1W-PRM21 supports all standard baud rates up to 12 Mbit/s. Its simple FDT/DTM-based configuration enables quick setup and flexible integration with GSD-based slave devices.
Key Features
- Supports PROFIBUS-DP Master Class 1 with DP-V1 data types
- Handles data independently from the CPU to reduce processing load
- Supports up to 125 PROFIBUS slaves with a maximum of 7,168 I/O words
- Compatible with baud rates from 9.6 kBit/s to 12 MBit/s
- Configuration via Generic DTM for flexible device setup
- Provides Sync, Unsync, Freeze, Unfreeze, and Clear global control services
- Compact and lightweight structure for easy installation
