The Omron CJ1W-CT021 is a high-speed counter unit designed for integration with CJ-series and NJ-series programmable logic controllers. It features two independent 32-bit counters capable of processing input pulse frequencies up to 500 kHz, making it suitable for precise high-speed motion control and positioning applications. The unit supports three counting modes: simple, circular (ring), and linear, offering flexibility for diverse industrial counting applications. It provides 2 digital inputs, 2 external digital outputs, and 30 internal software outputs with programmable logic including zone comparisons, target values, delays, and hysteresis. With a maximum response time of 0.5 ms from counter input to external output, it enables rapid closed-loop control. The unit includes a configurable digital noise filter (10 kHz or 50 kHz) and accepts multiple input voltage levels (5V, 12V, 24V line driver inputs). It mounts directly to CJ-series or NJ-series CPU racks or expansion racks.
