Features
■ Easy and Simple Programming for Automatic Small-scale Control
Saves Space, Wiring, and Installation Steps
Easy Programming
• Versatile functionality in a compact body (70 mm wide × 90 mm
high).
• This single Unit easily provides relay, timer, counter, and time
switch functions. Wiring work is greatly reduced because separate
wiring is not required for devices such as timers and counters.
The LCD screen comes with 8 operation buttons on the front panel to
enable programming in ladder view format. The LCD screen also has
a backlight, making it easier to see when the ZEN is used in dark
locations.

Flexible Expansion Enables Up to 44 I/O
Points
Up to three Expansion I/O Units can be connected if there are not
enough I/O points. Expansion I/O Units are only 35 mm wide.
Support Software with Simulation Function
• Programs can be easily written, saved, and monitored by personal
computer.
• Programs can be simulated on the personal computer without
connecting to the ZEN.
Note: CPU Units with 10 I/O points can be expanded to 34 I/O points.
Expansion I/O Units cannot be connected to Economy-type
CPU Units.
Note: For notebook computers that do not have an RS-232C serial
port, connect the computer to the ZEN by connecting an
OMRON CS1W-CIF31 USB-Serial Conversion Cable to the
ZEN-CIF01 Connecting Cable.
Other Versatile Functions
• Use of a Memory Cassette makes it easy to copy and save
programs.
• Equipped with two analog input channels (CPU Units with DC
power supply only).
• Password function ensures security. (See note.)

Air conditioning control
Economy-type Added to the Series
• Economy-type CPU Units with a more affordable price have been
added to the series, although Expansion I/O Units cannot be
added.
Conventional model: ± 10% FS → -V2 models: ± 1.5% FS
DC power supply models are equipped with two analog inputs (0 to
10 V). There are four analog comparators. The increased precision
makes it even easier to use the Unit in simple control applications
with voltage, current, temperature, and other analog values.
8-digit Counter, 150-Hz Counter
• An 8-digit counter and 8-digit comparator have been added.
• The maximum count for DC power supply models is 150 Hz.
12 to 24 VDC Line Voltage Operation
Twin-timer Operation Added
Operation is now possible with 12 VDC.
Twin-timer operation allows you to set ON and OFF times separately,
greatly simplifying intermittent operation.
Expansion I/O Units have been reduced to
half-size (35 mm wide).

For CPU Units with 10 I/O points and Expansion I/O Units, all 4 outputs in the transistor output circuits have independent circuits. The terminals of
output have polarity given on the terminal block, but no problem will result from reversing the connection positions of the power supply and load.
For CPU Units with 20 I/O points, outputs Q0 to Q3 in the transistor output circuits have independent circuits and outputs Q4 to Q7 have 2 points
per common. The terminals of output Q0 to Q3 have polarity given on the terminal block, but no problem will result from reversing the connection
positions of the power supply and load.
Note: Do not exceed a cable length of 10 m when connecting transistor outputs.

Counting Speed of the 8-digit Counter
The maximum counting speed of the 8-digit counter is 150 Hz. When the ladder program volume is large, however, this speed will be less than 150
Hz. Calculate the cycle time and confirm the maximum counting speed using the following formula. The calculation serves as a guide only, so allow
a suitable margin in the actual machine.
Maximum counting speed = 1,000,000 Hz/ Cycle time (µs) × 2.2 Hz
Note: Even if the calculated maximum counting speed exceeds 150 Hz using this formula, the maximum counting speed will be 150 Hz.

■ ZEN Support Software Functions
Note: Always use ZEN-SOFT01-V4 as the Support Software for the V2 CPU Unit.
Creating Ladder Programs
Simulating Ladder Programs
ZEN ladder programs can be created with ease.
The simulation function makes it possible to check whether correct
operation is performed without connecting to the ZEN.
Note: The Edit Input Dialog Box is displayed when an input bit is
inserted. Timer, counter, and other parameter settings are also
set in the Edit Input Dialog Box. They cannot be set in the Edit
Output Dialog Box.
Monitoring Ladder Programs
Printing Ladder Programs
The operating status can be monitored from the Support Software by
connecting to the ZEN using a Connecting Cable (ZEN-CIF01).
Ladder programs and I/O comments, as well as timer, counter and
other parameter settings can be printed.
Note: Both RS-485 communications and the ZEN monitoring function cannot be used at the same time with Communications-type CPU Units.
The Support Software can also be used
to save files and edit comments.
Refer to the ZEN Support Software Operation Manual (Cat. No. Z184-E1-03) for details.

• The connection method between the CPU Unit and Expansion I/O Units has changed.
• Twin timer operation has been added to timers.
• Multiple-day operation and pulse-output operation has been added to weekly timers.
• An 8-digit counter and 8-digit comparators have been added.
• The accuracy of analog inputs has been increased to ±1.5% FS.
• The timing accuracy of weekly timers and calendar timers has been increased to ±15 s or less per month (at 25°C).
• Australia and New Zealand Daylight Saving Time (DST) settings have been added.
• CPU Units with RS-485 communications and economic CPU Units have been added.

Precautions when Switching from Previous Units
•
•
•
•
Previous models of Expansion I/O Units cannot be connected to V2 CPU Units.
ZEN-8E1@R Expansion I/O Units with relay outputs need to be connected to a power supply.
A ZEN-@C@D@-D-V2 CPU Unit with DC power supply cannot be connected to an Expansion I/O Unit with AC inputs.
When connecting Expansion I/O Units with DC inputs to a CPU Unit with an AC power supply, the burst noise immunity will be 1 kV (IEC 610004-4).
• There is no change to the 8 A per contact for relay output, but the total output for all contacts must be as follows:
Units with 10 I/O Points: 20 A max. (15 A max. for Communications-type CPU Units)
Units with 20 I/O Points: 40 A max.
Expansion I/O Units:
20 A max.
• Always use the ZEN-SOFT01-V4 Support Software for V2 CPU Units.
• Input wiring for CPU Units with DC power supplies differs from that for Pre-V1 CPU Units. Refer to the following diagrams.
V2 and V1 CPU Units

Precautions
System Startup and Program Changes
!WARNING
Serious human hazard may occasionally occur due to ignition or
rupture of the lithium battery used in the Battery Unit. Do not short the
battery terminals or charge, disassemble, deform under pressure, or
incinerate the battery.
Never use any battery that has been dropped on the floor or otherwise
subjected to excessive shock.
!CAUTION
• Using the button switches.
Electric shock, fire, or malfunction may occur. Do not disassemble,
modify, or repair the ZEN or touch any of the internal parts.
Electric shock may occur. Never touch the I/O terminals, computer
connector, or Battery Unit connector while power is being supplied.
Electric shock may occur. Do not remove the Expansion Unit
connector cover unless an Expansion I/O Unit will be permanently
installed.
Fire may occasionally occur. Tighten the terminal screws to a torque
of 0.565 to 0.6 N·m (5 to 5.3 in-lb).
■ Precautions for Safe Use
Please observe the following precautions for safe use of this product.
Circuit Design
• All interface connectors and battery connectors are live parts. They
may not be directly connected to a Safety Extra Low Voltage
(SELV) circuit or to accessible conductive parts.
For programming units and personal computers use only the
connecting cable ZEN-CIF01 (optional accessory) manufactured by
OMRON.
ZEN-CIF01 provides safe (reinforced) insulation between personal
computers and ZEN.
• Provide emergency stop circuits, external interlock circuits, limit
circuits, and other safety circuits in addition to any provided within
the ZEN control circuits to ensure safety of the overall system in the
event of ZEN failure or external factors.
• If the ZEN discovers an error during self-diagnosis, operation will
be stopped and all outputs will be turned OFF. As a
countermeasure for such problems, external safety measures must
be provided to ensure safety in the overall system.
• Outputs from the ZEN may remain ON or OFF due to faults in
internal circuits such as output relay fusing or burning, or output
transistor destruction. As a countermeasure for such problems,
external safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in the
overall system.
• Fail-safe measures must be taken by the user to ensure overall
system safety in the event of broken signal lines or momentary
power interruptions.
• The durability of the output relays is largely affected by the
switching conditions. Confirm the operation of the system under
actual operating conditions and set the switching frequency to
ensure that adequate performance will be provided. Insulation
faults and burning in the ZEN may result if relays are used after
their performance has deteriorated.
Connecting Expansion I/O Units
• Supply power to both the CPU Unit and Expansion I/O Units from
the same power supply and turn them ON and OFF at the same
time.
• When connecting Expansion I/O Units with DC inputs to a CPU
Unit with an AC power supply, the burst noise immunity will be 1 kV
(IEC 61000-4-4).
• Expansion I/O Units with AC inputs (ZEN-8E1AR) cannot be
connected to a CPU Unit with a DC power supply.
34
Programmable Relay ZEN
• Check the user program for proper execution before actually
running it on the Unit.
• Disconnect the output lines from the system before testing
operation in any system in which incorrect operation can result in
injury or equipment damage.
• Confirm safety before attempting any of the following operations.
• Changing the operating mode (RUN/STOP).
V2 Units
• Changing bit status or parameter settings.
• Double-check all wiring before turning ON the power supply.
• Refer to “Cycle Time Calculation Method” on page 21 and confirm
that the increase in the cycle time will not affect operation. If the
cycle time is too long, it may become impossible to read input
signals accurately. The increase in the cycle time will be particularly
noticeable when set values are written in RUN mode for a CPU Unit
with communications (ZEN-10C4@R-@-V2).
Installation and Wiring
• Do not allow the ZEN to fall during installation.
• Be sure that the DIN Track mounting levers, Memory Cassettes,
Battery Units, cable connectors, and other items with locking
devices are properly locked into place. Improper locking may result
in malfunction.
• For surface mounting, tighten mounting screws to the following
torque.
CPU Units: 1.03 N·m max.
Expansion I/O Units: 0.46 N·m max.
• Use wires with cross-sectional areas of 0.2 to 2.5 mm2 (equivalent
to AWG24 to AWG14) for wiring and strip them for 6.5 mm.
Handling
• The environment of use for the ZEN is "Pollution degree 2" and
"Overvoltage category II" specified in IEC60664-1.
• Always use the ZEN within the rated ambient operating
temperature and humidity. The rated ambient operating
temperature is 0 to 55°C (−25 to 55°C for LED-type CPU Units).
If the ZEN is used near sources of heat, such as a power supply,
the internal temperature of the ZEN may increase, lowering the
durability of the ZEN.
• Discharge static electricity from your body, e.g., by touching a
grounded metal plate, before touching any Unit.
• The exterior of the Units will be damaged if it comes into contact
with organic solvents (e.g., benzene or paint thinner), strong
alkalies, or strong acids. Never allow such substances to come into
contact with the Units.
• Do not apply voltages exceeding the rated voltages. Internal
elements may be destroyed.
• Short failures or open failures may result from the destruction of
output elements. Do not use loads that exceed the rated output
current.
Maintenance
When replacing a CPU Unit, transfer to the new Unit and confirm all
settings for clock data, internal holding bits, holding timers, and
counters before starting operation again.
Transportation and Storage
• Use special packing boxes when transporting the ZEN and do not
subject it to excessive shock or vibration or drop it during shipment.
• Store the ZEN within the rated ranges. If the ZEN has been stored
at −10°C or lower, allow it to stand at room temperature for
three hours or longer before turning ON the power supply.
■ Precautions for Correct Use
Installation Environment
• Do not install the ZEN in the following locations.
• Locations subject to radical changes in temperature
• Locations with high humidity subject to condensation
• Locations subject to excessive dust or dirt
• Locations subject to corrosive gas
• Locations subject to direct sunlight
• Do not install the ZEN in locations subject to shock or vibration.
Extended use in such locations may cause damage from stress.
• In environments subject to static electricity (e.g., close to pipes
conveying forming materials, powders, or fluid materials), separate
the ZEN as far as possible from the source of static electricity.
• The ZEN is neither waterproof nor oil-proof. Do not use it in
locations subject to water or oil.
• Use the ZEN within the allowable power supply voltage range. Be
particularly careful in locations with bad power supply conditions,
e.g., large fluctuations in the power supply voltage.
• Do not install the ZEN in locations subject to excessive noise,
which may cause the ZEN to fail.
• Take appropriate and sufficient countermeasures when installing
systems in the following locations:
• Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields
• Locations subject to possible exposure to radioactivity
Power Supply
• Always turn OFF the power supply to the ZEN before attempting
any of the following.
• Assembling the ZEN
• Connecting or disconnecting any cables or wiring
• Attaching or removing the Memory Cassette
• Attaching or removing the Battery Unit
• If the power supply is interrupted for two days or more (at 25°C),
the internal capacitor will discharge and internal bit status and the
contents of PV areas will be lost or corrupted and dates and times
will be reset. When restarting operation after the power supply has
been interrupted for an extended period of time, check the system
in advance to confirm that no errors will occur.
Handling
• Connect connectors only after confirming that the direction or
polarity is correct.
• Failures could result if dust or dirt enters the ZEN. Always connect
the connector cover to the computer connector whenever it is not
being used.
• Do not remove the label from the left side of the CPU Unit if a
Battery Unit is not mounted.
Other
• The execution of the ladder program in the ZEN is different from
that for other PLCs. Refer to “Difference between ZEN
Programmable Relays and PLC Ladder Program Execution” on
page 33.
• Abide by all local ordinances and regulations when disposing of the
ZEN.
• The Battery Unit (ZEN-BAT01, sold separately) contains a lithium
battery. Observe all applicable legal requirements for your area
when disposing of the lithium battery.
