Integration brief
The Omron CP2E-N14DR-D is an expansion I/O module that adds 8 digital inputs and 6 relay outputs to a CP2E PLC system. 24VDC supply and screw terminals keep it standard for control panels. DIN rail mount – same footprint as other CP2E I/O slices.
Delta: relay vs solid-state
Compared to the CP2E-N20DT1-D (12 digital inputs, 8 solid-state outputs), the CP2E-N14DR-D trades I/O count for relay outputs. Six relay channels handle up to typical 2 A per point (per Omron’s catalog), suitable for direct switching of contactor coils, solenoids, and small motors without interposing relays. The N20DT1-D’s solid-state outputs give faster switching and longer life, but are limited to lower current and no inductive load tolerance – you’d pack an interposing relay for similar work. If your panel need is mixed resistive and light inductive loads, stick with the relay version.
Mounting and wiring
Screw terminals and DIN rail mount; operating temperature range -20°C to 60°C.
