Omron CPM2A-60CDR-A

Normal sale of the CPM2A-60CDR-A has ended. Spares may still be available, but the clock is running.

  1. Active RolloutSold and supported normally
  2. Phase OutRetirement announced, still orderable
  3. CancellationNormal sale ended, spares may remain
  4. Total DiscontinuationNo manufacturer supply or repair

ECS stage: Cancellation. Omron's published term: 生産終了 (end of production) end of March 2015.

Is the Omron CPM2A-60CDR-A discontinued?

The CPM2A-60CDR-A has been cancelled (since March 2015): no longer sold as a current product, though spares may remain available for a period. Its successor is the CP1E-N60DR-A.

Source: OMRON Corporation (Japan). Last checked . Always confirm a specific part's status with the manufacturer before buying or planning a migration.

What Cancellation means for you

You can no longer order it as a normal product, and nothing new should be designed around it. If machines depend on it, you want spare stock you can rely on and a migration plan. Both start with knowing how many you run and whether each has a backup.

How ECS defines Cancellation · all four lifecycle stages

Before replacing a PLC processor

We would secure a current, tested PLC program backup, record the programming software and version, and map the I/O, networks and intelligent modules connected to the controller.

CPU migrations can alter addressing, communications, memory behaviour or firmware requirements, so a newer processor in the same general family is not automatically a drop-in replacement. Proving that the program can actually be restored while the existing controller still runs is one of the most valuable checks a maintenance team can make.

Common questions about the CPM2A-60CDR-A

Is the Omron CPM2A-60CDR-A discontinued?

The CPM2A-60CDR-A has been cancelled (since March 2015): no longer sold as a current product, though spares may remain available for a period. Its successor is the CP1E-N60DR-A.

What replaced the CPM2A-60CDR-A?

Omron lists the CP1E-N60DR-A as the successor. Check compatibility with your machine before planning the change.

Can I still buy a CPM2A-60CDR-A?

Not as a normal new product. Remaining distributor stock or designated spares may still be available. Buy any you need now.

How do I back up a CPM2A-60CDR-A?

It is programmed with CX-Programmer. The exact software version and cable depend on the unit's firmware. ECS records both for every unit it captures, alongside a verified backup.

With a backup, a failed unit is hours. Without one, it is days.

A Capture audit finds every CPM2A-60CDR-A on your site, takes a backup of each one it can reach, and records the software version and cable needed to restore it. When a discontinued unit fails and a replacement turns up, the program is ready to load.

  • Every device located, photographed and lifecycle-checked
  • Backups taken on the day, with software version and cable recorded
  • Findings report, plus a populated Command Centre
  • No production downtime
