OMRON products configurators & selectors

OMRON's control components provide a wide variety of industrial panel components to build high-quality products.
It provides ideal control at production site through counters, cam positioners, timers, timer switches, digital temperature controllers, and other input, control, and output components.

Temperature controllers keep your operations at the precise temperature necessary to ensure quality and maximize production. These controllers receive sensor signals and control heaters or other devices to maintain a preset temperature. They can also be used for humidity, pressure, and flowrate control. OMRON also provides temperature and humidity sensors.

Where will the temperature controller be mounted?

• In-panel (DIN-rail mount)
• On-panel unit will be mounted in panel cut-out

How to choose temperature controllers?
For mounting inside the panel:

• Select how many control loops are required? Multiple / Single
• Select what is the application PLC based?

For flush mounting on panel door:

• Select digital or analog type
• Select whether it is economical or general purpose
• Select the panel cut-out size
  1/32 DIN (48x24mm)
  1/16 DIN (48x48mm)
  1/8 DIN vertical (48x96mm) or 1/8 DIN horizontal (96x48mm)
  1/4 DIN (96x96mm)

Analog timers are control devices that output a signal at a preset time after an input signal is received. All analog timers are available with DIN rail mounting (17.5mm, 22.2mm width) or as plug-in and panel flush mounting (28 x 21.5mm or 1/16 DIN 48x48mm). Analog timers are ideal for delay applications e.g. pushbutton signals OFF- or ON-delay, where a digital timer's functionality is not required.

Your advantages with OMRON analog timers:

• Affordable and compact multi-function timer
• Ultra-slim (17.5-mm width) with two sets of contacts
• Available with push-in plus connections for reliable and fast in-panel applications
• UL, CSA, CE, CCC, EN 61812-1 certifications

There are 4 types of analog timers:

• Single-function plug-in/flush timers
• Single-function DIN rail timers
• Multi-function plug-in/flush timers
• Multi-function DIN rail timers

Digital timers is controllers that turn on an output based on timing or counting. Digital timers can be categorized into 2 main types. A timer that has short term count with 1/16 DIN (48x48mm) mounting, another type has long term which available in DIN rail or panel mounting (1/16 DIN (48x48mm), 1/4 DIN (96x96mm), 72x72mm).

Your advantages with OMRON digital timers:

• Feature rich digital timer for harsh environments
• Digital daily, weekly and yearly timer with LCD screen
• Time range from 0.01s to 9990hr
• UL, CSA, SEV certifications

There are 2 types of digital timers:

• Single-function timers
• Multi-function timers

OMRON provides preset counters, totalizing counters, time counters and electromagnetic counters.

A counter is a device that counts the number of objects or the number of operations. It is called a counter because it counts the number of ON/OFF signals input from an input device, such as a switch or sensor. It is fairly simple for people to count ten or twenty objects, but larger numbers make counting increasingly difficult. Counters outperform people when it comes to counting accurately. Counters are classified into two groups according to whether they produce an output or not.

What is a preset counter?
A preset counter counts until the present value reaches a preset value, and then it activates a control output to operate an output device. The term preset in preset counter means that you can set a value in advance.
The operation of preset counters used in automated machinery with a pudding production line. Counters are often mounted on control panels so that the workers can check the display. It also described from signal input to control and signal output in the boxing process of the pudding production line.

What is a total counter?
A total counter does not output a control signal. It only displays the present value. A total counter is often used when you only have to display a production count, for example number of puddings counted.

Digital panel meters perform digital processing on or conversion and display of voltages, currents, other analog signals, and pulse signals. They can also compare input values to set values, transfer data, and perform other functions.

What is a digital panel indicator?
A digital panel indicator digitally processes measurement data, such as an analog signal from a linear sensor (including a voltage and current), or a pulse signal. It then converts and displays the data.
They can also act as interfaces by performing operations such as comparisons with user-set values, and transmitting data to computers and PLCs.

OMRON digital panel indicators have good visibility in the field, are easy to use, are waterproof, and conform to international standards. Communications with host computers or programmable controllers have been improved to provide functionality for advanced information systems, such as data collection to increase operating rates and data recording capabilities to provide for implementing measures for PL laws and ISO.
