3G2C7-LK201-EV1

The Omron 3G2C7-LK201-EV1, also known as C20-LK201-V1, is a Host Link Unit designed for compatibility with various C-Series Rack-Mounting PCs, including C20P, C28P, C40P, C60P, C20K, C28K, C40K, and C60K Series. This unit provides a vital link between the host computer and the controlled system. It is available with different connector options, such as optical fiber connectors, RS-232C cable connectors, RS-422 cable connectors, as well as SW1, SW2, and SW3 connectors. The primary function of the Host Link Unit is to enable the host computer to effectively monitor the operational status and data areas of the connected PCs. Furthermore, it facilitates control over the communication between these PCs and the controlled system. It is important to note that each PC requires its own Host Link Unit, and a single host computer can connect to up to 32 PCs. The Host Link Unit itself boasts a built-in RS-232C port with a D-sub, 25-pin female connector. It operates under the Serial Communications Mode, specifically the Host Link network type. To establish the necessary connections, compatible cables such as XW2Z-200P-V or XW2Z-500P-V can be utilized. These cables are available in different lengths, with XW2Z-200P-V measuring 2 meters and XW2Z-500P-V extending to 5 meters. In essence, the Omron 3G2C7-LK201-EV1 (C20-LK201-V1) Host Link Unit serves as an essential intermediary component, enabling effective communication, monitoring, and control between the host computer and a cluster of connected C-Series Rack-Mounting PCs. This capability proves particularly useful in scenarios where multiple PCs need to interact seamlessly within a controlled system.
