Innovation without growing pains
As a modern machine manufacturer you need to continuously increase the intelligence and flexibility of your product to remain competitive. But you also need to be absolutely certain that it all works perfectly, first time, every time.
The CJ2 is the result of years of experience as market leader in the field of modular controllers and represents a logical next step in controller design. It offers greater performance and faster I/O response as well as extreme scalability - so you will only need one family. In addition, programming, debugging and networking are faster and easier. Welcome to the new CJ2 Family: built to give you innovation without growing pains.
Although CJ2 is a can directly replace any CJ1 CPU, it offers the following additional significant advantages:
Open to the world
Data communication is via standard Ethernet port with EtherNet/IP Data Link function.
Advanced motion control
CJ2 units offer multi-axes synchronous control, and can replace expensive motion controllers.
High-speed
Faster program execution and immediate I/O refreshing enables flexible machine control.
Learn one, know them all
Thanks to the wide variety of CPUs with consistent architecture across all PLC families, you only need to learn one, and you will know them all.
Highly flexible
Adapt the PLC to your needs with the wide variety of compatible CJ1 Family I/O units (nearly 100).
Inspired by proven technology
Proved track record
The CJ2 Family is based on the highly popular CJ1, which after its launch in 2001 is operating in an extraordinary variety of applications all over the world. Now, as the natural successor, the CJ2 combines that field-proven technology with a wider choice of CPUs, more speed and memory, and a wider variety of communication interfaces.
Faster development
Tag-based communications technology will simplify the interfacing of the PLC to the outside world. On-line debugging improvements also help to accelerate software development so you can change the code and test the results quickly. The added function block memory will allow you improve to program structure and reuse of code even in the the entry-level models.
Talks to all
The CJ2 Family supports major open networking technologies including:
Ethernet-based communication based on open industrial standards
Serial communications over RS-232C, RS-422, RS-485 and USB
The major open Fieldbus standards
Fast and accurate motion control networks.
Built to answer your needs
Omron has used its long experience as a specialist machine automation supplier to develop CJ2. The result is an extremely reliable PLC that is also a powerful example of our commitment to continuous improvement. The CJ2 Family is a major opportunity to innovate and simultaneously reduce cost now and in the future. Its the obvious choice for modern machine builders.
Wide range CPU capacity
To stay ahead in the machine-building business, you need to grow with your end-users needs. Faster production, better quality control and better traceability require more speed and more memory. Thats why the CJ2 Family offers a wide range of CPUs-to suit any task. From 5 Ksteps program capacity and 64 Kwords memory, right up to 500 Ksteps capacity and 832 Kwords.
Higher precision
In addition to the greater CPU processing performance, Omron has also added new high-speed I/O units, such as analog input units with 20 ¦Ìs conversion time, while new PLC instructions provide immediate access to fast I/O data. The result is even more real-time reliability.
One family - two performance classes
CJ2M for basic machine automation
The CJ2M Series is ideal for packaging and general machine automation needs. Connectivity is assured thanks to the built-in USB port and the choice of Ethernet and RS-232C/422/485 interfaces on the CPU.
CJ2H for high speed, high capacity
The CJ2H Series is ideal for advanced machine automation needs such as those required in image processing inspection of electrical components and high speed sorting on conveyors.
Advanced motion control - made simple
The CJ2Hs advanced motion control avoids the use of expensive motion controllers. Synchronized control is possible on up to 20 axes by using just five Position Control units (High-speed type). And, programming is easy - simply paste an electronic cam function block into a synchronized interrupt task.
