Omron C500-OC224 Output Module

The Omron C500-OC224 Output Module is a 16-point digital relay output expansion module for the Omron C500 PLC system, designed to provide reliable external device control in industrial automation and to extend the I/O capacity of legacy controllers. In practice it is installed in legacy production lines, conveyors, packaging machines, and process equipment to switch loads such as relays, solenoids, contactors, and indicator circuits, with electrical isolation between channels and a common terminal group configuration to simplify wiring and improve noise immunity in demanding industrial environments. Key specifications include 16 relay outputs rated up to 250 VAC or 30 VDC, approximately 2 A per point maximum load, rack-mounted mounting for the C500 system, operating temperature range 0°C to 55°C, and compatibility with Omron C500 series PLCs; the part is listed as MPN C500-OC224 and 3G2A5-OC224. For maintenance, retrofit, or sustaining older automation setups, common replacements include Omron C500-OC223, C200H-OC224, and CJ1W-OC211.
