C500-LK003-E

The Omron C500-LK003-E module is an interface module that was designed for integration into Omron SYSMAC C500 series programmable controller systems. It operates as a panel-mount type of interface module. The C500-LK003-E module is also identified by the part number 3G2A5-LK003-E. Its main function is to serve as a PC Link unit in PC Link systems, where it can collaborate with an Omron LK009-V1 PC Link unit for enhanced system functionality. When utilizing the C500-LK003-E module in a PC Link system, it is important to note that the system configuration must be a single-level configuration. Additionally, if the C500-LK003-E is used, all LK009-V1 PC Link units within the system must be set to the LK003-E mode. It is crucial to avoid mixing LK003-E units like the C500-LK003-E unit and LK009-V1 units in differing modes within the same PC Link system. It is important to note that the 3G2A5-LK003-E PC Link unit is not compatible with multilevel systems, so careful consideration is required while planning system architecture. Additionally, the C500-LK003-E module or a LK009-V1 module in the LK003-E mode can only operate alongside other LK003-E PC Link units or LK009-V1 units in the LK003-E mode. For more complex setups, the C500-LK009-V1 PC Link unit in a C500 PC system can interface with an LK003-E unit like the C500-LK003-E unit, and up to 8 polled units operating in the LK003-E mode can be employed. Similarly, the C500-LK003-E PC Link unit on C500 PC can work in conjunction with an LK009-V1 unit on the C500, provided the latter is set to the LK003-E mode. Furthermore, this combination of units can be used within a single-level configuration, and it supports the connection of 8 polled units. Careful attention to the compatibility guidelines for all of these Link units ensures efficient and reliable system operation.
