C500-OC221

Omron's C500-OC221 is a programmable controller output module that serves as an integral component in various automation applications. It features a panel-mounted design and is configured to handle a maximum of 16 output points, making it suitable for compact control systems. Each output point is characterized by normally open relay contacts that provide reliable switching capabilities.

The module effectively manages an output switching capacity of up to 2 Amperes at 250 VAC, particularly when operating under optimal phase angle conditions. It can also switch loads as low as 10 mA at 5 VDC. An external power supply of 24 VDC is necessary for its operation, consuming 10 mA per output point, which allows for efficient energy use.

Operating effectively within a temperature range of -10 to 55 degrees Celsius, the C500-OC221 module is designed to perform reliably in various environmental conditions. The output type is primarily relay-based, providing electromechanical isolation that protects interconnected circuitry. The inherent response time is noted at 15 milliseconds, ensuring timely control actions.

Furthermore, the internal power consumption at 5 VDC does not exceed 100 mA, maintaining efficient operation. When handling AC inductive loads, this module can support up to 0.5 A at 250 VAC, accommodating a variety of operational demands. Two common terminals allow for shared COM circuitry, providing flexibility in wiring configurations for larger systems.
