CJ1W-SCU41-V1 Serial Communications Unit 1xRS-232C 1xRS-422A/485 | Omron

The Original New Omron CJ1W-SCU41-V1 is a CPU Bus Unit for SYSMAC CJ-series PLCs that provides two independent serial communication ports (one RS-232C and one RS-422A/485) for connecting external devices such as HMIs, barcode readers, serial printers, weigh scales, and third‑party instrumentation. Each port can be independently configured for a wide range of protocols including Protocol Macro, Host Link, NT Link (1:N mode), Serial Gateway, No‑protocol, and Modbus‑RTU Slave (Unit Ver. 1.3 or later). The Simple Backup Function allows Protocol Macro data to be backed up to the CPU Unit’s Memory Card for simplified maintenance and system recovery.

Core Engineering Highlights:
1 RS-232C port + 1 RS-422A/485 port | 115.2 kbps / 230.4 kbps max baud rate | Host Link, Protocol Macro, NT Link, Serial Gateway, No-protocol, Modbus-RTU Slave support | 380 mA current consumption | 110 g max weight | 31 mm width | 500 m max transmission distance (RS-422A/485) | Simple Backup Function support

Key Features:

• Original New Omron CJ1W-SCU41-V1 module

• One RS-232C port and one RS-422A/485 port for flexible serial connectivity

• Supports Protocol Macro for user‑defined communication sequences

• Host Link (C‑mode and FINS commands) for connection to host computers and HMIs

• NT Link (1:N mode) for direct connection to Omron programmable terminals

• Serial Gateway for CompoWay/F and Modbus‑RTU protocol conversion

• No‑protocol mode for user‑defined data formats (ASCII/binary)

• Modbus‑RTU slave mode (Unit Ver. 1.3 or later)

• Transmission speeds up to 115.2 kbps (230.4 kbps supported with CJ1W-SCU@2)

• Simple Backup Function for Protocol Macro data backup to Memory Card

• LED status indicators for communication and module status

• Switchable termination resistor (TERM switch) and 2‑wire/4‑wire selection (WIRE switch) for RS-422A/485
