What it is and where it fits
The Omron CP1L-M30DR-A is a compact PLC in the CP1L series, packing 18 digital inputs and 12 relay outputs in a single unit. It runs on 100-240VAC and carries 32K words of program memory — enough for small to mid-size automation cells like packaging lines, material handling, or standalone machine control. No display on the front, so all configuration happens via CX-One software over the built-in USB port or optional communication cards. Mounts on DIN rail or directly to a chassis panel, leaving room for up to three expansion modules to grow the I/O count or add specialty interfaces.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
The CP1L-M30DR-A is listed as active on the current production lifecycle. No end-of-life notice pending, so it's a standard BOM line that can be specified without last-time-buy pressure. Approvals cover CE, cULus, Lloyd, and NK — enough for most industrial and marine control panels. Documentation including RoHS and REACH compliance is available with the unit.
Integration notes for the panel
Supply it with 100-240VAC from a single-phase source; the internal power supply handles the logic and relay coils. Keep ambient temperature within 0°C to 55°C. The battery backup preserves program and retained data during power loss — a CR-type battery is included in the box. For fieldbus connectivity, add an option card (EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS, etc.) in the left-side slot. The USB port gives fast program download without extra hardware.
Sourcing the line
For a firm lead time on the CP1L-M30DR-A against your BOM quantity, send an RFQ. This part runs on standard Omron production channels — no broker scramble needed.
