Output type decides the fit – relay vs transistor
The CP1L-EL20DR-D uses 8 relay outputs; the CP1L-EL20DT1-D uses 8 solid state outputs.
I/O budget and expandability
The base unit gives you 12 digital inputs and 8 relay outputs. One expansion-module slot – serviceable for a mixed-signal card or extra I/O, but not for a full remote rack. Memory sits at 32K words, enough for a medium-size station. Battery backup holds the program on power loss; CX-One software handles the offline programming.
