CP2E-N40DT-A is an Omron CP2E series I/O module delivering 24 digital inputs and 16 solid-state outputs. Powered from 100-240VAC, it terminates via screw terminals and mounts on DIN rail. The solid-state outputs switch DC loads with no moving contacts, suited for high-cycle applications where relay wear would be a concern. Operating range spans -20°C to 60°C, covering typical panel ambient conditions. The module is part of a current active product line, available through standard distribution without last-buy constraints.
Solid-state vs relay output – what changes with the peer
The closest functional sibling is CP2E-N40DR-A, which replaces the 16 solid-state outputs with 16 relay outputs. Panel wiring and mounting remain identical – same 24-input count, same screw terminals, same DIN-rail footprint. The swap trades contact life for load flexibility: relays carry AC and DC loads up to a typical 2 A per point, while the solid-state outputs on the N40DT-A switch DC only, with higher endurance but a lower per-channel current rating (2 A per point, common for transistor outputs).
