Compared to CS1W-MD262
The CS1W-MD292: The MD262 provides 32 inputs and 32 solid state outputs — half the I/O of the MD292 — while using the same backplane footprint and connector type. That means a panel wired for a MD262 cannot simply swap in an MD292 without re-terminating the harness or adding breakout unless the cable was pre‑populated for all 48 positions. For a new BOM, the MD292 saves rack slots when more than 32 I/O of each type is needed.
Sourcing posture
Omron quotes this part as Active. No end‑of‑life notice is on record. For a BOM line that calls out CS1W‑MD292, the module is available to order through distribution; submit an RFQ for current lead time and quantity.
