Product Features
Takes up less space, involves less wiring and requires less work-hours
Relay, timer, counter, and time switch functions are all easily handled by this one unit. It is no longer necessary to individually wire timers, relays and the like, greatly reducing the amount of time spent on wiring.
Simple programming
Ladder programming can be performed on the front LCD screen and using the 8 operations buttons. Also includes a backlight. Easy to make changes to the settings on-site.
Can be freely expanded. Maximum number of I/O: 44 points
If you cannot make the required number of I/Os, up to a further 3 expansion I/O units can be added. Expansion I/O units are smartly sized with a width of just 35 mm.
Support application software with simulation function
- Ladder programming can be easily created, stored, and monitored on a PC.
- Programs can be simulated on the PC without having to connect to the main ZEN unit.
*If your laptop PC has no RS-232C serial ports, connect a USB-serial conversion cable (Omron Model CS1W-CIF31) to the ZEN-CIF01 PC connection cable.
Weekly timer, calendar timer function enhancement (features enhanced with CPU unit -V2 type)
- Time accuracy greatly increased
[Conventional product] monthly difference 2 min -> [-V2 type] monthly difference ±15 secs (25°C)
- Multiple day operation and pulse operation are now supported.
Note: Model ZEN-□C2□□-□-V2 type is not supported.
- The function improvements make it even more useful for time-based control such as lighting and air conditioning controls.
New addition of RS-485 communication types to the product series
Can remotely monitor the control statuses of the ZEN (state of the production site etc.)
New addition of simple economy type to the product series
A new more cost effective economy type is now available. Cannot be expanded with expansion I/O units.
Free power supply voltage between 12 and 24 V DC
Can now also be used at 12 V DC.
Expansion I/O units now at half size (width 35 mm)
Analog input accuracy increased
[Conventional product] ±10% FS -> [-V2 type] ±1.5% FS
The DC power supply type is equipped with 2-ch analog input (0 to 10 V).
The analog comparator has 4 I/O.
The increase in accuracy makes it even easier to use for simple analog value control applications such as for voltage, current and temperature.
Features an 8-digit counter and 150 Hz counter
- Now includes an 8-digit counter and 8-digit comparator.
- The DC voltage type can count a maximum of 150 Hz.
Now includes twin timer operation
Intermittent operation can be easily performed using the twin timers which can be set individually for either ON time or OFF time.
Also includes a variety of other functions
- The memory cassette makes copying and saving programs simple.
- Includes 2-ch analog input. (DC power supply type only)
- The password function provides a sense of security. *
- Supports UL/CSA standards and features CE marking.
- Can display in 6 languages (Japanese, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian). *
- Any message you like can be displayed on the screen using the display function. *
*Model ZEN-□C2□□-□-V2 is not supported.
Application 1: Manufacturing line conveyor shift unit
Use the ZEN as a conveyor shift unit. When the sensor detects a product arriving an input signal in sent to the ZEN. The ZEN then sends an output signal to the stopper and conveyor shift unit, moving the product to a different conveyor.
Application 2 Water treatment equipment
Use the Programmable Relay ZEN to control water treatment equipment.
Application 3 Streetlight ON/OFF controls
Use the Programmable Relay ZEN as a cost-effective time switch to turn on streetlights on roadsides and in parks at night.
