The Omron CQM1-ME08K is an EEPROM memory cassette from the CQM1 series, designed to provide reliable and secure storage of programs and PC setup data within Omron CQM1 programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Offering an 8K-word memory capacity, it ensures stable data retention without requiring battery backup. Unlike other variants, the CQM1-ME08K does not include a clock function, focusing solely on program and configuration storage. When pin 2 of the CPU unit’s DIP switch on the host PLC is turned ON, the memory cassette automatically transfers its stored contents to the CPU unit during system start-up, enabling seamless data recovery or deployment. Built for durability and ease of use, the CQM1-ME08K could be implemented in automation systems across North America, Europe, Asia, and other worldwide markets, providing dependable non-volatile memory management for Omron’s CQM1 PLC platforms.
