Product Overview

The Omron C500-CE404 is a Controller Link communication unit designed for C500 series programmable logic controllers, providing network connectivity for distributed automation systems. Controller Link is Omron dedicated network protocol enabling high-speed data exchange between PLCs, HMIs, and computers on a reliable industrial network. The C500-CE404 operates as a node on the Controller Link network, allowing the C500 PLC to share data with other Controller Link devices. The network supports both peer-to-peer data sharing and master-slave communication patterns, providing flexibility for various system architectures. With high-speed communication up to 2 Mbps, the C500-CE404 provides fast data exchange suitable for time-critical applications. The module supports large data areas for exchange, enabling efficient sharing of process data across the network. LED status indicators provide at-a-glance monitoring of network status and communication activity. Easy configuration allows quick setup of network parameters and data exchange areas. The C500-CE404 supports both twisted pair and optical fiber media, providing installation flexibility for different environments. Applications include distributed control systems, multi-PLC networks, SCADA integration, and any application requiring data sharing between Omron PLCs.
