A. Product Overview

The Omron S8VK-C06024 and S8VK-C12024 are single phase industrial switch mode power supplies from the Omron S8VK C series.

Omron S8VK-C06024 specifications:

24 VDC output
2.5 A rated output current
60 W power rating
100 to 240 VAC rated input
90 to 350 VDC input supported
Typical efficiency of 88 percent at 230 VAC input

Omron S8VK-C12024 specifications:

24 VDC output
5 A rated output current
120 W power rating
100 to 240 VAC rated input
90 to 350 VDC input supported
Typical efficiency of 88 percent at 230 VAC input

The allowable AC input range is 85 to 264 VAC. Both models are designed for operation from minus 25 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius.

Their compact DIN rail design makes them suitable where control panel space is limited. Omron also specifies overload protection, overvoltage protection and a green DC output indicator.

B. Working Principle

The Omron S8VK C series operates as a switch mode power supply.

Incoming AC power first passes through a noise filter and inrush current protection circuit. The input is then rectified and smoothed before being processed by the internal switching and drive control circuitry.

The switched electrical energy is transferred through the internal isolation stage and then rectified and smoothed again to produce a stable 24 VDC output.

Voltage detection and feedback circuits continuously monitor the output and regulate the switching operation to maintain the required DC voltage. The internal design also includes overcurrent and overvoltage detection circuits. The official block diagrams for the S8VK-C06024 and S8VK-C12024 show these stages in detail.

The output voltage can also be adjusted using the built in V.ADJ control.

C. Why Is the Omron S8VK C Series Used?

The Omron S8VK-C06024 and S8VK-C12024 are used when industrial equipment requires a stable 24 VDC power source from a standard AC electrical supply.

Typical applications include:

• PLC control panels
• HMI systems
• Industrial sensors
• Proximity sensors
• Photoelectric sensors
• Industrial relays
• Control circuits
• Automation machines
• Factory equipment
• Instrumentation panels
• Process control systems
• Industrial communication devices
• Machine control panels

The wide input voltage range makes these power supplies suitable for applications where the incoming electrical supply may vary.

The compact construction also reduces the space required inside electrical cabinets. Omron specifically describes the S8VK C series as a cost effective single phase power supply with universal input and a space saving compact design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Omron S8VK-C06024?

The Omron S8VK-C06024 is a 60 W industrial switch mode power supply providing 24 VDC at 2.5 A. It is designed for industrial control and automation applications.

What is the Omron S8VK-C12024?

The Omron S8VK-C12024 is a 120 W DIN rail switch mode power supply providing 24 VDC at 5 A.

What is the difference between S8VK-C06024 and S8VK-C12024?

The main difference is output capacity. The S8VK-C06024 provides 60 W and 2.5 A, while the S8VK-C12024 provides 120 W and 5 A. Both provide 24 VDC output.

What input voltage does the Omron S8VK C series support?

The rated AC input is 100 to 240 VAC, with an allowable AC input range of 85 to 264 VAC. DC input from 90 to 350 VDC is also supported.

Can the Omron S8VK-C06024 be used for a PLC?

Yes. It can provide 24 VDC power for PLCs and associated control devices, provided the total connected load remains within the rated 2.5 A and 60 W capacity.

Can the S8VK-C12024 power sensors and PLC equipment?

Yes. Its 24 VDC, 5 A output makes it suitable for supplying compatible PLCs, sensors, relays and other automation devices, provided the total load is within the rated output capacity.

Does the Omron S8VK C series have overload protection?

Yes. Omron specifies overload protection beginning above 105 percent of rated output current. The protection automatically clears after the output current returns to the rated range.

Does it have overvoltage protection?

Yes. The S8VK C series includes overvoltage protection. If excessive voltage reaches approximately 130 percent or more of the rated voltage, the output is shut off.

What is the operating temperature of the S8VK C series?

The specified ambient operating temperature range is minus 25 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius, subject to the applicable derating conditions.

Is the Omron S8VK C series DIN rail mountable?

Yes. The units are designed for DIN rail installation, and Omron also provides mounting bracket options for different installation arrangements.

Where is the Omron S8VK-C06024 commonly used?
