Omron PLC Module C200H-DA002 C200H-DAOO2 C200HDA002

Omron C200H-DA002 Analog Output Module

Overview

The C200H-DA002 is a 4-channel analog output module for the Omron C200H PLC family.

Product documentation for the unit places it in the C200H analog range and shows it as a backplane-mounted output module with selectable analog ranges including 1 to 5 V, 0 to 10 V, -10 to +10 V, and 4 to 20 mA.

It is positioned as a single-slot interface for external analog devices rather than as a general-purpose mixed I/O card.

What makes this module valuable in real control cabinets is its ability to generate several analog command signals from one PLC rack position.

In practical automation work, that usually means cleaner cabinet wiring, fewer external signal converters, and a more organized relationship between PLC logic and field-side analog devices. 

In older C200H systems, that continuity is often more useful than replacing the analog section with a different platform.

This is an engineering inference based on the module’s published 4-channel analog-output role and the C200H rack architecture.

Technical Data

Application Value

The C200H-DA002 is well suited to legacy Omron PLC systems that need multiple analog outputs for devices such as servo references, analog indicators, recorders, positioners, converters, and other control-loop interfaces.

Omron’s C200H analog-output documentation specifically frames the unit as an interface for external analog devices that accept standard voltage or current ranges, which is exactly where it fits best in real machine and process environments.

It is also highly relevant in maintenance and modernization planning.

Omron discontinuation material names this exact unit and points users toward newer replacement paths, which shows that the module remains important mainly in lifecycle support, spare-parts work, and cabinet restoration rather than in new-platform standardization.

Replacement and Selection Perspective

For replacement work, the C200H-DA002 should be matched by output type, channel count, signal range, and rack family, not simply by the word “analog.”

In real projects, the difference between analog input and analog output is fundamental, and so is the difference between voltage-output and current-output loops.

Matching the same 4-channel analog-output profile usually preserves the original field wiring and startup behavior with much less trouble. 

This is an engineering recommendation based on the published DA002 signal ranges and the C200H hardware context.

FAQ

Q1: What kind of module is C200H-DA002?
It is a 4-channel analog output module for the Omron C200H PLC platform.

It is intended to send analog command signals out of the PLC rack, not to receive analog measurements into it.

Q2: What applications fit this module best?
It fits legacy PLC systems that need several analog output channels for field-side control devices such as positioners, drives, recorders, or analog interface hardware.

That application use is consistent with the unit’s published selectable voltage and current output ranges.

Q3: Why is exact signal-range matching important?
Because analog loops are built around a specific output standard. If the installed system expects 4 to 20 mA or -10 to +10 V, replacing the module with a mismatched analog type can create immediate commissioning problems.

This is an engineering inference based on the module’s published selectable output ranges.

Q4: Is this module still mainly used in new projects?
No. Its practical value today is strongest in installed-base support, repair, and phased modernization, which is consistent with Omron’s discontinuation notice and replacement guidance for the model.

Q5: What should be checked before ordering?
Check the installed part number, confirm that the application needs analog output rather than input, verify the required signal range, and make sure the rack is a C200H system. Those checks usually prevent the most common replacement errors.
