What this PLC is and what it needs
The CP1E-N60DT-D is a 24VDC-powered PLC from Omron's CP1E series, packing 36 digital inputs and 24 solid-state outputs into a chassis-mount or DIN-rail package. It runs on CX-One programming software and holds 8K Words of memory — enough for mid-size machine control. The unit is expandable up to 40 modules across 3 racks, so you can scale I/O without swapping the CPU. Communications are via RS-232C as standard, with option cards available for additional protocols. No display on the unit — all configuration is done through the software. The battery backup retains program and data during power loss.
Sourcing reality — discontinued
This part is discontinued per Omron's lifecycle status. There is no official successor listed in the available data. Sourcing is through surplus or broker channels — submit an RFQ for current availability and lead time.
How it compares to the CP1E-N60DT1-D
The CP1E-N60DT1-D is the closest functional sibling: same 36 digital inputs, same 24 solid-state outputs, same 24VDC supply, same expandability to 40 modules. The only difference is the output type — the DT1-D uses transistor outputs (sourcing) while the DT-D uses standard solid-state outputs. Both are discontinued. If you have a panel wired for the DT-D, the DT1-D will drop in without rewiring, but verify the output sink/source compatibility with your load.
Approvals and documentation
