OptiMate® OM9001
Communication Master

The OM9001 Communications Master provides an intelligent interface between Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and a set of OptiMate® modules. The OM9001 communicates serially to the PLC, transferring register data in both directions. Up to 31 OptiMate® modules, provided they are 1000 series or 600 series, can be connected to the OM9001 for transparent operation with the PLC.

Features

• Communicates with a variety of PLCs
  
• Transfers data to up to 31 OptiMate® modules
• Transparent operation
  
• High speed data transfer
  
• 2 RS422 serial ports for module interconnect
  
• Low cost interface
  

Benefits

• Simple to use
  
• Enables construction of medium to large systems
  
• Interconnect capability to remote modules
• Remove and replace maintainability
  
• Rapid future expansion
  
• Reduced maintenance costs
• PLC Multi Modules

With the OM9001 Communications Master, the OptiMate® series provides the means to construct large custom panels with standard building block modules. OptiMate® modules can be grouped together or separated by up to 4000 feet. Any combination of operator panels can be incorporated into a system.

The OM 9001 communication master can transfer register data between a PLC and up to 31 OptiMate® 600 or 1000 series modules. All registers must be within a 1000 register range. Communications with the OptiMate® modules is over RS422 communications.
