OMRON C200H-ASC02 ASCII Communication Module for C200H Series

The OMRON C200H-ASC02 (C200H-ASC02) is a specialized ASCII communication unit developed for use with OMRON C200H series programmable logic controller systems. Serving as an intelligent coprocessor module, it executes dedicated BASIC programs independently from the main CPU rack cycle, offloading data-processing and complex serial communication tasks. The unit integrates dual RS-232C serial communication ports to facilitate direct connectivity with peripheral equipment, including barcode readers, vision sensors, industrial printers, operator terminals, and supervisory host computers. By handling protocol conversions and ASCII string manipulation internally, it streamlines data acquisition and transmission across the PLC backplane without degrading the scan time of the central controller. Built for seamless mounting on standard C200H backplanes, the C200H-ASC02 delivers reliable communication for automated assembly lines, material handling systems, packaging machinery, and industrial monitoring installations.
